xforms-model-construct-done is not leaving top-level model

[hgoetzger]

As described in http://discuss.orbeon.com/Why-is-xforms-model-construct-done-on-load-not-working-td4657888.html:

It looks like that xforms-model-construct-done events get not dispatched to #document, whereas xforms-ready do.

This is an issue in Orbeon Forms 4.4.0.201311042001 CE. It used to work with Orbeon Forms 3.9.0.201105152046-CE .

Thanks a lot

I do reproduce this. There is an attempt at dispatching the event, but the target cannot be found:

start handler {name: "xforms-model-construct-done", phase: "target", observer: "xf-6"}
  interpreter - start executing {action name: "xf:dispatch"}
    xf:dispatch - cannot find target, ignoring action {target id: "#document"}
  interpreter - end executing {time (ms): "0", action name: "xf:dispatch"}
end handler {time (ms): "0"}

I suspect that this is because at that time, the tree of control is not yet there, and #document is considered to be at the root of that tree.

What we might want to do is to:

• special-case #document
• or create at first a tree with just the root #document
