Configuring form data model

Apache Sling Connection Pooled DataSource

The first step in creating RDBMS backed form data model is to configure Apache Sling Connection Pooled DataSource. To configure the data source, please follow the steps listed below:

Point your browser to configMgr
Search for Apache Sling Connection Pooled DataSource
Add a new entry and provide the values as shown in the screenshot.
Save your changes

NOTE

The JDBC Connection URI, Username and Password will change depending on your MySQL database configuration.

Creating Form Data Model

Point your browser to Data Integrations
Click Create->Form Data Model
Provide meaningful name and title to form data model such as Employee
Click Next
Select the datasource created in the earlier section(forums)
Click Create->Edit to open the newly created form data model in edit mode
Expand the forums node to see the employee schema. Expand the employee node to see the 2 tables

Add entities to your model

Make sure the employee node is expanded
Select the newhire and beneficiaries entities and click on Add Selected

Add Read Service to newhire entity

Select newhire entity
Click on Edit Properties
Select get from the Read Service drop down list
Click + icon to add parameter to the get service
Specify the values as shown in the screenshot

NOTE

The get service expects a value mapped to the empID column of newhire entity.There are multiple ways to pass this value and in this tutorial the empID is passed through request parameter called empID.

* Click _Done_ to save the arguments for the get service * Click _Done_ to save changes to form data model

Add Association between 2 entities

The associations defined between database entities are not created automatically in the form data model. The associations between entities need to be defined using the form data model editor. Every newhire entity can have one or more beneficiaries, we need to define one-to-many association between the newhire and beneficiaries entities.
The following steps will walk you through the process of creating the one-to-many association

Select newhire entity and click on Add Association
Provide a meaningful Title and identifier to the association and other properties as shown in the screenshot below
Click on the edit icon under the Arguments section
Specify values as shown in this screen shot
We are linking the two entities using the empID column of beneficiaries and newhire entities.
Click on Done to save your changes

Test your Form Data Model

Our form data model now has get service which accepts empID and returns the details of the newhire and its beneficiaries. To test the get service, please follow the steps listed below.
