InfoPath Dev

I'm creating a site in SP2010 which will ultimately be saved as a site template for future use.
In this site is a forms library with a browser enabled form. The desired submit option is to publish to the library where the template lives.
This is all fine for the site I'm currently creating but later, when any future sites are based on this template the site name will not be the same.

Is it possible to just tell IP that I'll be submitting to the library where you are hosted without having to specify the absolute path?

Does that make sense?

My understanding is that when the submit-type data connection is created, the submit URL is hardcoded, and the only way to modify it would be by running the data connection wizard again to modify the data connection. I assume something could be done via code (or qRules) but that would not be an option in out-of-the-box-InfoPath.

Thanks, does the entire URL have to be provided?

If I'm understanding correctly then it would appear to be impossible to ever save a site as a template (which is what I ultimately want to do) that contains an infopath forms library?

No, I don't think that a content type will address this. The limitation is in the InfoPath connection wizard. You have to provide a full URL. Notice how there's no option to use a formula, or a field from the form, etc. It's an absolute path URL.

Sorry, I can't think of a workaround or solution.

ok thanks... seems a bit of a limitation.

How would a vendor include an infopath form as part of their solution or even a form itself if the site/library it was destined for couldn't be parameterised or self referenced.
Even stranger when you consider that a forms library can be created and specified as an infopath library before you even start looking at infopath designing. You'd have thought someone at MS would have included a way to specify me/this/current library/other as data connection options for a newly created template.

Time to dream up a plan B :)

 The Document Library field in the data connection wizard? No, it does not allow data input other than typing in (no functions, no xpaths).
