orbeon作为xforms标准的实现，不论其设计器还是运行时度存在很多问题：
设计器：仅仅是提供一个简单的工具，其实更加复杂的功能还需要开发人员手动编码。
并且需要花费大量的时间去熟悉、学习orbeon自身的功能。
运行时：提供的运行时开发人员几乎不能随便修改，造成不够灵活，譬如需要提供一个进度条、定制展现样式、定制对话框等，非常的复杂。
在此向博主及各位推荐使用GForms开发平台http://blog.csdn.net/ghpaas/article/details/30222989，GForms开发平台让开发人员甚至非技术人员在短短几分钟内创建全功能的展现服务，让开发团队更加适应客户和市场的需求，从而提高客户服务和速度实现收益。该开发平台提供可视化的设计器、运行时，设计器基于eclipse开发，非常的简单，完全实现xforms1.1标准，并且支持开发人员编写样式、javascript处理函数等。

GForms开发平台百度上有大量资料，且有iaas云管理平台Demo例子： http://yun.baidu.com/s/1bnznec3#dir/path=%2Fghorse
