Create servlet

Next step is to create a servlet that calls the appropriate methods of our custom OSGi service. The servlet has access to the adaptive form data, file attachments info. The servlet returns a unique application id that can be used to retrieve the partially completed adaptive form.

This servlet is invoked when the user clicks the Save and Exit button on the adaptive form
