Form Data Integration Service Java API Quick Start (SOAP) form-data-integration-service-javaapi-quick-start-soap

The following Quick Starts are available for the Form Data Integration service.

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

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Exporting form data 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 Start in Programming with AEM forms are based on the Forms Server being deployed on JBoss Application Server and the Microsoft Windows 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): Importing form data using the Java API quick-start-soap-mode-importing-form-data-using-the-java-api

The following Java code example imports data into a PDF form. The data is in an XML file named Loan_data.xml and the PDF form is saved as a PDF file named ResultLoanForm.pdf. (See Importing Form Data.)

     * This Java Quick Start uses the SOAP mode and contains the following JAR files
     * in the class path:
     * 1. adobe-formdataintegration-client.jar
     * 2. adobe-livecycle-client.jar
     * 3. adobe-usermanager-client.jar
     * 4. adobe-utilities.jar
     * 5. jboss-client.jar (use a different JAR file if the Forms Server is not deployed
     * on JBoss)
     * 6. activation.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 7. axis.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 8. commons-codec-1.3.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 9.  commons-collections-3.1.jar  (required for SOAP mode)
     * 10. commons-discovery.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 11. commons-logging.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 12. dom3-xml-apis-2.5.0.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 13. jaxen-1.1-beta-9.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 14. jaxrpc.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 15. log4j.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 16. mail.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 17. saaj.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 18. wsdl4j.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 19. xalan.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 20. xbean.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 21. xercesImpl.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     *
     * These JAR files are in the following path:
     * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/common
     *
     * The adobe-utilities.jar file is in the following path:
     * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/jboss
     *
     * The jboss-client.jar file is in the following path:
     * <install directory>/jboss/bin/client
     *
     * SOAP required JAR files are in the following path:
     * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/thirdparty
     *
     * 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 these additional JAR files
     *
     * For information about the SOAP
     * mode, see "Setting connection properties" in Programming
     * with AEM Forms
