Configure an Adaptive Form for REST Endpoint submit action

To configure submit action based on Swagger Open API specification for Adaptive Form based on Foundation Components are:

1. Open the Adaptive Form for editing and navigate to Submission section of the Adaptive Form Container properties.

2. From the Submit Action drop-down list, select Submit to Rest endpoint.

   

   To post data to an internal server, provide path of the resource. The data is posted the path of the resource. For example, /content/restEndPoint. For such post requests, the authentication information of the submit request is used.
   This option allows you to directly enter the target REST endpoint .
   To post data to an external server, provide a URL. The format of the URL is https://host:port/path_to_rest_end_point. Ensure that you configure the path to handle the POST request anonymously.
   

   In the example above, user entered information in textbox is captured using parameter param1. Syntax to post data captured using param1 is:

   String data=request.getParameter("param1");

   Similarly, parameters that you use for posting XML data and attachments are dataXml and attachments.

   For example, you use these two parameters in your script to parse data to a rest end point. You use the following syntax to store and parse the data:

   String data=request.getParameter("dataXml");
String att=request.getParameter("attachments");

   In this example, data stores the XML data, and att stores attachment data.
   The Submit to REST endpoint Submit Action submits the data filled in the form to a configured confirmation page as part of the HTTP GET request. You can add the name of the field to request. The format of the request is:
   {fieldName}={request parameter name}

   As shown in the image below, param1 and param2 are passed as parameters with values copied from the textbox and numericbox fields for the next action.

   

   You can also Enable POST request and provide a URL to post the request. To submit data to the AEM server hosting the form, use a relative path corresponding to the root path of the AEM server. For example, /content/forms/af/SampleForm.html. To submit data to any other server, use absolute path.

3. Click Done.
