How to retrive value of xforms:select in orbeon forms on client side (in JavaScript)

Question

I have next problem, when I'm trying to retrieve value from xforms:select elements I retrieve some encrypted value like "eKdObOh+XakQQkcJayfQArlH+Y5M4huLkvqoSAsN7P8=" while I know the real value, which I'm set in the form constructor is "ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS" .

I found this function ORBEON.xforms.Document.getValue(controlIdOrElement) but it returns the same encrypted value.

Is there any way to retrieve real value from xforms:select elements, or may be some configs which I have to enable/disable, or may be there some common algorithm which transforms real value to encrypted one?

Answer 1

If the value is not private, you can put the following attribute on the xforms:select control:

xxforms:encrypt-item-values="false"

This will leave the value returned by getValue() unencrypted.

You can also set this attribute per page, on the first xforms:model of your form, or even globally in properties. In general it is recommended to leave the values encrypted unless you are sure that they are confidential.
