The Form action for this form is set to the URI template: http://<hostname>/frevvo/web/user/gallery/app/_73zHwep_EduZgK0BUzi1Ug/formtype/__AKE4PgqEdusGKt5_HoCDw?_method=POST&customer={ID}. As described in the [[#Multi_page_forms|Multi Page Forms]] section above, when the user clicks submit, the URI template above will be resolved based on the selected customer ID and the browser will be redirected to the resulting URI, which is simply that of the next form with a query parameter (customer=02, for example). This form is described below.
Customer Information
This form is described in the [[#Updating_a_document|Updating a document]] section above. It GETs the XML representation for a specific customer using the third method in the table above, initializes the form with that information and displays it to the user. When submitted, the updated customer information is automaticlly PUT to the same [resolved] URI using the fourth method in the table above.
Create Customer'''
This form is described in the [[#Creating_a_new_document|Creating a new document]] section above. When instantiated, it does a POST to the Read URI using the second method in the table above. This causes the server to create a new customer and return the URI of that customer. frevvo will automatically follow this URI, GET the representation of the customer and display the form (presumably with empty values). When the user enters all required fields and submits the form, frevvo will automatically PUT the resulting XML document to the URI for the newly created customer thereby updating the customer.

database
frevvo provides a simple connector that integrates forms with your database. The connector is freely available for download and is licensed under an open source model. The documentation can be found at [[V4_Database_Connector|Connecting with your database]].===
Integrating with HTTP Servers (including handling attachments)
...
frevvo can POST form or workflow data to your web server for processing. There are two options available [[V4_Designing_Forms#Post_Data_then_Forward_to_Web_Page | Form Action POST]] and [[V4_Designing_Forms#Post_Data | Doc Action POST]]. The difference between the two is that the Form Action POST displays the response from the web server to the user whereas the Doc Action POST does not.
Processing form data POSTed to your web server is [[Process_Submissions_Tutorial#POST_to_your_web_server | detailed in this Tutorial]].===
Initializing forms with XML documents
...
Forms can be initialized by an XML document. This is most commonly done when the form is created from an XSD data source but can also be used with forms create from frevvo's palette controls. The most common method is to connect the XML document to the form via the form's doc action manually set [[V4_Designing_Forms#Doc_URI_Wizards | document URIs wizard]].====
XML document from Doc URI
...
The form designer ensure the XML document used to initialize the form conforms is valid for the XSD schema used to create the form. If the XML document is invalid your form will fail to initialize and will display the message "There were problems initializing form".
One example of an invalid XML document is when the XSD contains a repeating element. If minOccurs=3 and the XML document contains only 2 elements then the document is invalid and your form will display the standard error message.[[Image:18px-Attention_niels_epting.svg.png]] '''NOTE:''' The

XML document from Post payload
...
In addition chaining multipe forms together via the Form Action Post with common data sources from XSD as described above, it is also possible to write a servlet or other web code that does a Post request with a form Url to the frevvo Form Server. This request can also be coded to contain an XML document. If the XML document conforms to and is in the same namespace as one of the form's documents (either from-scratch palette controls or from XSD schema datasource), then the Form Server will use that XML document to initialize the form's fields.=== Custom JavaScript=== <div style=";background-color:#E0EFFF">[[Image:Lightbulb.png]] Although
