Hugi,

thanks a lot, this works perfectly.

But (there is always a but)

What do I do with the returned result?
My problem is that no matter what I try the resultant string is not properly used as the content of the iFrame. I am probably just thoroughly confused but WO seems to mix and match things in a way that either the initial POST body is displayed instead of the result or the resultant string is parsed but no linked resources are found as they are all tried to be accessed through my application. And of course there they aren’t.

I have the following def in my WOD

iFrame : ERXIFrame {
action = createMyIFrameContent;
style = "width:100%; height:90vh; border:solid 2px green";
}

I cannot use either pageName nor src bindings because I need to create some xml content and a POST request. So I use the action createMyIFrameContent() to create the content for the iFrame. But how?

Inside createMyIFrameContent() I built the xml and used your code to submit the POST. Worked and I did get a result back. But then? When I create a new WOResponse and set the result as its content WO displays the original request body (the xml), not the resulting content.
So I created a new WOComponent that createMyIFrameContent() instantiates with pageWithName(), passes some data to it for the generation of the xml and returns this to the iFrame. In the new component I override appendToResponse(), execute the POST and set the result as the content. I also tried overriding generateResponse(). In both cases I do get the result from the POST rendered but no externally linked resources are found because they are seen as relative to my application (css, images, etc).

Basically the question is “how do I break out of my application and have that dynamically generated remote page inside my iFrame?” As I said, I am confused and don’t see the forest for the trees anymore.
