Forms Service API Quick Starts forms-service-api-quick-starts
CAUTION
AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated. For further details, see our technical support periods. Find the supported versions here.
The following Quick Starts are available for the Forms service:
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Rendering an interactive PDF form using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Rendering a form at the client using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Rendering a form based on fragments using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Rendering a rights-enabled form using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Rendering an HTML form using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Rendering an HTML Form with a custom toolbar using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Handling PDF forms submitted as XML using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Handling PDF forms submitted as PDF using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Handling HTML forms submitted as XML using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Creating PDF Documents with submitted XML data using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Prepopulating Forms with Flowable Layouts using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Handling a form containing a calculation script using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Optimizing performance using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Rendering by value using the Java API
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Passing documents to the Forms Service using the Java API
Application logic that uses the Forms service API is implemented as Java servlets. AEM Forms operations can be performed using the AEM Forms strongly-typed API and the connection mode should be set to SOAP.
NOTE
Quick starts located in Programming with v are based on the forms server being you are using another operating system, such as Unix, replace windows specific paths with paths supported by the applicable operating system. Likewise, if you are using another J2EE application server, then ensure that you specify valid connection properties. See Setting connection properties.
Quick Start (SOAP mode): Rendering an interactive PDF form using the Java API quick-start-soap-mode-rendering-an-interactive-pdf-form-using-the-java-api
The following code example renders an interactive PDF form named Loan.xdp to a client web browser. A file is attached to the form. Notice that the form design is part of an application and is referenced by using the content root URI value repository:///. (See Rendering Interactive PDF Forms.)

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Rendering an HTML Form with a custom toolbar using the Java API quick-start-soap-mode-rendering-an-html-form-with-a-custom-toolbar-using-the-java-api

Notice that the locale value is fr_FR. The section that discusses how to render an HTML form with a custom toolbar shows the syntax of the fscmenu.xml file used in this quick start.

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Handling PDF forms submitted as XML using the Java API quick-start-soap-mode-handling-pdf-forms-submitted-as-xml-using-the-java-api
The following code example handles a form that is submitted as XML. The content type value passed to the processFormSubmission method is CONTENT_TYPE=text/xml. The values that correspond to the fields named mortgageAmount, lastName, and firstName are displayed. A user-defined method named getNodeText is used in this quick start. It accepts an org.w3c.dom.Document instance and a string value that specifies the node name. This method returns a string value that represents the value of the node. (See Handling Submitted Forms.)

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Handling HTML forms submitted as XML using the Java API quick-start-soap-mode-handling-html-forms-submitted-as-xml-using-the-java-api
The following code example handles an HTML form that is submitted as XML data. The content type value passed to the processFormSubmission method is CONTENT_TYPE=application/x-www-form-urlencoded.The values that correspond to the fields named mortgageAmount, lastName, and firstName are displayed. A user-defined method named getNodeText is used in this quick start. It accepts an org.w3c.dom.Document instance and a string value that specifies the node name. This method returns a string value that represents the value of the node. (See Handling Submitted Forms.)

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Creating PDF Documents with submitted XML data using the Java API quick-start-soap-mode-creating-pdf-documents-with-submitted-xml-data-using-the-java-api
The following Java code example handles form data that is submitted as XML. Form data is retrieved from the Form submission using the Forms API and sent to the Output service. The form data and a form design are used to create a non-interactive PDF document. The non-interactive PDF document is stored in a Content Services (deprecated) node named /Company Home/Test Directory. The name of the form is dynamically created. That is, the user’s first and last name are used to name the PDF file. The resource identifier of the new content is written out to the client web browser. (See Creating PDF Documents with Submitted XML Data.)

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Prepopulating Forms with Flowable Layouts using the Java API quick-start-soap-mode-prepopulating-forms-with-flowable-layouts-using-the-java-api
The following code example prepopulates a form with a dynamic data source. That is, the data source is created at run-time and is not contained within an XML file or created during design time. This code example contains three user-defined methods:
-
createDataSource: Creates anorg.w3c.dom.Documentobject that represents the data source that is used to prepopulate the form. This user-defined method returns theorg.w3c.dom.Documentobject. -
convertDataSource: Converts anorg.w3c.dom.Documentobject to acom.adobe.idp.Documentobject. This method accepts anorg.w3c.dom.Documentobject as an input parameter and returns acom.adobe.idp.Documentobject. -
renderPOForm: Uses the Forms service Java API to render a dynamic purchase order form. Thecom.adobe.idp.Documentobject that was returned by theconvertDataSourcemethod is used to prepopulate the form.All of these methods are invoked from within the Java servlet’s
doPostmethod. (See Prepopulating Forms with Flowable Layouts.)

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Handling a form containing a calculation script using the Java API quick-start-soap-mode-handling-a-form-containing-a-calculation-script-using-the-java-api
The following code example processes a form that contains a calculation script and writes the results back to the client web browser. (See Calculating Form Data.)
