How to store the submitted form information in MySQL?

Question

I have configured Orbeon to use MySQL as explained in the general documentation. It works with some limitations. Now I have published a form and I can fill it up.

When submitted the information is stored somewhere, but I don't know where (probably in eXistdb). How can also configure Orbeon to also store submissions in MySQL? I want to access to this information from external applications.

Answer 1

The submit process as of 4.2 runs the following actions:

require-uploads then require-valid then save 
then success-message("save-success") then result-dialog 
recover error-message("database-error")

So it does save the data. However, you're saying that you don't see the data saved in MySQL. To simplify things, you can start by trying to check of the data gets saved when you hit just the Save button on the same form. And if it doesn't get saved, see if there are any errors in the orbeon.log. If you see an error, but not enough information about it, you can increase the log level by using the development configuration.
