helps to cross the chasm with their XForms builder. Thanks to AlexBleasdale for sharing.

Tips
*Passing XML as input to your XForm*
In your XForm:

<xf:instance id="edit-params" src="input:instance"/>

makes your input reference reference-able.
You can pass your input like this in your page-flow.xml:

<config xmlns="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/controller">


    <page path-info="*" view="view.xhtml" default-submission="/crv/tabs/test.xml">
        <setvalue ref="/edit/user" parameter="user"/>
        <setvalue ref="/edit/crvid" parameter="crvid"/>
    </page>

    

    <epilogue url="oxf:/config/epilogue.xpl"/>

</config>

The test.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<edit>
    <user/>
    <crvid/>
</edit>

The "setValue" tag tells Orbeon to take the user and crvid passed to via the HTTP Querystring like so: &user=john?crvid=19-08-178 and sticks them into the fields.

Figuring these connections out is a nightmare. However, once you figure it out, its nectar.
