Task Manager Service Java API Quick Start (SOAP) task-manager-service-java-api-quickstart-soap

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AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated.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 Task Manager service.

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Assigning tasks using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Locking tasks using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Retrieving tasks assigned to users using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Retrieving form data from tasks using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Modifying form data using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Retrieving file attachments from tasks using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Retrieving task information 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
You cannot search for tasks assigned to users by using the web service API. The reason is because you cannot invoke the taskList method, which is a necessary method call to perform this task.
NOTE
Quick Start located in Programming with AEM Forms are based on the Forms server operating system. However, if you are using another operating system, such as UNIX, replace Windows-specific paths with paths that are supported by the applicable operating system. Likewise, if you are using another J2EE application server, ensure that you specify valid connection properties. See Setting connection properties.

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Assigning tasks using the Java API quick-start-soap-mode-assigning-tasks-using-the-java-api

The following Java code example assigns a task to a user named Tony Blue.
