CREATED FOR:

Developer

The Java API(SOAP) Quick Start is available for processes. A process instance is an occurrence of a specific process that was started by an invocation method such as the Invocation API or from within Workspace.

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Searching for Process Instances using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Suspending process instances using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP Mode): Starting suspended process instances using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Terminating process instances using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Purging process data using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP Mode): Retrieving the status of a job using the Java API

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 in Programming with AEM Forms are based on the Forms if 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): Searching for Process Instances using the Java API

The following Java code example searches for process instances that are based on the MortgageLoan - Prebuilt process.

Quick Start (SOAP Mode): Retrieving the status of a job using the Java API

The following code example retrieves the status of 10 AEM Forms jobs.

 /*
     * This Java Quick Start uses the SOAP mode and contains the following JAR files
     * in the class path:
     * 1. adobe-encryption-client.jar
     * 2. adobe-livecycle-client.jar
     * 3. adobe-usermanager-client.jar
     * 4. activation.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 5. axis.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 6. commons-codec-1.3.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 7. commons-collections-3.2.jar  (required for SOAP mode)
     * 8. commons-discovery.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 9. commons-logging.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 10. dom3-xml-apis-2.5.0.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 11. jaxen-1.1-beta-9.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 12. jaxrpc.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 13. log4j.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 14. mail.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 15. saaj.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 16. wsdl4j.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 17. xalan.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 18. xbean.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 19. xercesImpl.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     *
     * The JBoss files must be kept in the jboss\client folder. You can copy the client folder to
     * your local development environment and then include the 3 JBoss JAR files in your class path
     *
     * These JAR files are in the following path:
     * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/common
     *
     *
     * <install directory>/jboss/bin/client
     *
     * If you want to invoke a remote Forms Server instance and there is a
     * firewall between the client application and the server, then it is
     * recommended that you use the SOAP mode. When using the SOAP mode,
     * you have to include additional JAR files in the following
     * path
     * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/thirdparty
     *
     * For information about the SOAP
     * mode and the additional JAR files that need to be included,
     * see "Setting connection properties" in Programming
     * with AEM Forms
     *
     * For complete details about the location of the AEM Forms JAR files,
     * see "Including AEM Forms Java library files" in Programming
     * with AEM Forms
