Binding web service to multiple drop-down fields.

I am getting alogn quite well using Web Services with Adobe XFA Forms. I was able to bind very complex web services results to dynamic PDF Forms.
I was also able to bind Drop-Down Items to a web service.
I still need little help though.
I have 2 Drop-Down Fields:
Hijri Year
Hijri Month
They are retrieved by Web Service developed over SAP Systems.
The web service will return a nested XML Structure of Hijri Year Array of Items, where each Year Item, will have nested array of months item.
When I click on the button to execute the Web Service, the Year Drop Down is populated. So now how to populate the Month Drop-Down Items ?
It is a bit tricky, and I cannot figure out what to do.
Please help.

Well, I was almost about to do that with very little coding, but looks like it is not possible. I seems that I have to bind the XML to the dorp-down manually.
I am using Stefan Web Service Per-Processor model. I am capturing the web service reulst, and loading the node I want to xfd.datasets.data.
I am doing something like this:
Sample XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<AttendancePeriod>
   <item>
      <Year>1430</Year>
      <Periods>
         <item>01</item>
         <item>02</item>
         <item>03</item>
         <item>04</item>
         <item>05</item>
         <item>06</item>
         <item>07</item>
         <item>08</item>
         <item>09</item>
         <item>10</item>
         <item>11</item>
         <item>12</item>
      </Periods>
   </item>
   <item>
      <Year>1431</Year>
      <Periods>
         <item>01</item>
         <item>02</item>
         <item>03</item>
         <item>04</item>
         <item>05</item>
         <item>06</item>
         <item>07</item>
         <item>08</item>
         <item>09</item>
      </Periods>
   </item>
</AttendancePeriod>
</root>
DataConnection Post Execute Event:
var rootXml = null;
var soapFault = null;
if (xfa.event.soapFaultCode)
soapFault = {code:xfa.event.soapFaultCode, message:xfa.event.soapFaultString};
else
rootXml = xfa.datasets.connectionData.DataConnection.Body;
preProcessor.processResponse(rootXml, soapFault);
The Response Processor function:
* Called after the web service response has been received.
* @param rootXml XML node which is the root of the web service response XML data. Null if a fault occurred.
* @param soapFault Object with 'code' and 'message' properties if a fault occurred; null otherwise.
function processResponse(rootXml, soapFault)
console.clear();
if (rootXml)
  var AttendPeriod = rootXml.GetAttendancePeriodsResponse.AttendancePeriod;
  xfa.datasets.data.root.nodes.append(AttendPeriod);
  xfa.form.remerge();
  console.println(AttendPeriod.saveXML());
else if (soapFault)
  console.println("Error = ");
  console.println("Fault code: " + soapFault.code);
  console.println("Fault message: " + soapFault.message);
console.show();
Then, I will bind the drop-down list to the XML.
The above code is working fine, but the only problem is xfa.form.remerge(), which will clear all other fields, I am not sure why ?
Seems I have to use a loop to bind the list items one by one, right ?!!

    And in what program? You need to be more specific. Creating conditional forms is of course possible, but the procedures will depend on the actual program and target medium. HTML forms work differently from PDF...

  • Problems with permissions to execute a web service in a drop down list ...

    Hello:
    I have created several iView with VC and I integrated it into guided procedures process. In some of that VC iViews I have drop down list that are filled with data retrieved from web services created by us that doesnu2019t require any authentication.
    When I execute my VC iViews with the Administrator user everything works ok, but when I execute it with a different user the drop down list doesnu2019t retrieve any value, as if the corresponding web services where not executed. 
    If I assign the "super_administrator" portal role to those users everythingu2019s goes OK. But I don't want that users to have that permission. Can anyone help me to identify which granular permission do I have to assign to that users in order to get the iView working as they are working for the "super_administrator" role?
    Thank you in advance.

    I solved this issue giving administrator read and end user permision in te portal systems creadted for the web services to a group to which all my users belongs.

  • I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

    I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

    I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

  • Acrobat X Pro Drop-down Fields Do Not Appear on Adobe Reader for iPad. Help!

    Hello,
    I am having a problem getting drop-down fields to appear on Adobe Reader for iPad. Basically, I need to create a form that includes drop-down fields, with the end result being a form that can be viewed and completed on an iPad, using the Adobe Reader app. Above all else, the end result needs to be viewable on an iPad.
    I created a form using Acrobat X Pro within which drop-down fields work flawlessly. However, when I try to open this form on an iPad, the drop-down fields do not even appear. I have done some investigating on the Web (including these forums) and come to understand that this has to do with javascript limitations on Apple products, but have yet to discover a solution to my problem.
    To summarize: does anyone know how to make drop-down fields appear in Abobe Reader for iPad app? Or, does anyone know a workaround in which I could have a drop-down menu (or something similar) in my form and have it work on Adobe Reader for iPad?
    Thanks in advance for the help. I took on this project from my boss' boss, so I'd really like to get this done for him.

    Hello GKaiseril,
    Thanks for the reply. I experienced the issue running the most recent version of the Adobe Mobile Reader app. I'm not sure I can convince the client to use anything else, but its worth a shot.
    All I need is a simple drop-down list (multiple fields in the document) with 4 options that the user can select and submit as a form. Is this something EZ Pdf reader can do? Also, is EZ Pdf Reader free? (the reason I ask is I am an Android user and do not readily have access to a iPad).
    Thanks again.

  • Infopath 2013 - Values are not appearing in a drop down field referencing site column which uses lookup in custom list

    I have a master custom list that has a set of site columns. For each site column there is a lookup to a custom list with reference data. When I edit the list in data entry view all values in drop down fields work fine, but when I customize the form for
    the master list, no data appears in the drop down fields. I can change the data binding on the form so it references the the correct data and when I preview the form it works. But when I publish it, no data is available in these drop down fields.

    Hi  shakonarson,
    According to your description, I try to reproduce your scenario but the lookup field works fine.
    When we customize the form for the  list  in the InfoPath 2013 , it is by design that the Drop-Down List Box control cannot  display its value.
    For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
    Go to lookup List Box on your form in  InfoPath 2013 , right click it and choose “Drop-Down List Properties” from the bottom of your field menu.
    Make Sure you select “Get choices from an external data source” and correct Data source.
    Make Sure the Xpath  of Entries is “d:SharePointListItem_RW” under the dataFields.
    Here is a good blog for sorting lookup column DropDown by customizing your list form with InfoPath you can have a  look:
    Sort SharePoint lookup column Dropdown by customizing your list form
    with InfoPath
    Hope this helps!

  • Multiple drop down menu items to populate the a separate text box...more help please

    Thanks to Gilad D67 for showing me how to have multiple drop down menu items appear in a separate text box. This stuff blows my mind. Is there any script I can use to make a new drop down menu item appear in the same text box, but on a new line below a previous entry. For example. I select 'cat' from my drop down menu and it appears in my text box. Now I choose 'dog' from my menu and it appears in my text box like so  'cat dog.' Is there any way I can make 'dog' go straight to a new line automatically without having to manually go into the text box and change it?
    cat
    dog (new selection goes straight to a new line)
    Now, I don't have a clue if this is also possible, but imagine, I don't like my drop down menu selection of 'dog' and I go back into the menu and I change to 'rat' but in the text box, 'dog' still appears and 'rat' is added. Do I have to manually delete 'dog' from the text box or is there script that can do this for me.
    Any assistance would be incredible. It amazes me how people know this stuff.
    This is the script I have so far
    (function () {
        // Do nothing if not committed
        if (event.willCommit) return;
        // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
        var aQuotes = [3];
        // Populate the array with the paragraph text
        aQuotes[0] = "Use common singular nouns, plural nouns [plural ‘s’] and proper names to say what things are"
        aQuotes[1] = "Use numbers 1–10 to count"
        aQuotes[2] = "Use basic adjectives and colours to say what someone/something is or has"
        // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
        var item = event.changeEx
        // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
        getField("Text30").value += " " + aQuotes[item];

    You have to set the option for the text field to be multiline and then change the last line of the script to:
    getField("Text30").value += "\r" + aQuotes[item];
    To reset the field you can use a separate button with a Clear Form command, and then you just select this one field from the list.

    Any hint as how to create and access pl sql web service returning multiple rows?
    I don't use java and don't have access to tools like JDeveloper.
    Thanks!

    The actual issue is that collection types are not supported for return parameters.
    The solution is to wrap the collection into another object.
    Here's a working example based on your settings :
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE test_rec is OBJECT ( 
      empno  number(4)
    , ename  varchar2(10)
    , hiredate date
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE test_array AS TABLE OF test_rec; 
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE test_array_wrapper is OBJECT ( arr test_array );
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE test_pkg AS 
      function get_rows(p_deptno in number) return test_array_wrapper; 
    END; 
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY test_pkg AS 
      function get_rows(p_deptno in number) return test_array_wrapper is 
        results  test_array; 
      begin 
        select test_rec(empno, ename, hiredate)
        bulk collect into results
        from scott.emp
        where deptno = p_deptno;    
        return test_array_wrapper(results); 
      end; 
    END; 
    The wsdl is then generated correctly :
    SQL> select httpuritype('http://DEV:dev@localhost:8080/orawsv/DEV/TEST_PKG/GET_ROWS?wsdl').getxml() from dual;
    HTTPURITYPE('HTTP://DEV:DEV@LOCALHOST:8080/ORAWSV/DEV/TEST_PKG/GET_ROWS?WSDL').GETXML()

  • Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 - Forms with drop down fields providing fill-in options upon hovering

    I have been sent a few form documents created in Microsoft Word which contain drop down fields that provide fill-in options upon hovering over those fields on the form.  These form documents end in ".docx".  I do not own Microsoft
    Word for Mac, but am considering buying it or signing up for the Office 365 service for Mac so that I can fill in these fields using the drop down options.  My question is:
    Will Microsoft Word for Mac or the Office 365 for Mac service allow me to use the drop down fields that provide fill-in options upon hovering?  Or is this feature not available when using either Microsoft Word for Mac or the Office 365 service
    on a Mac?
    Any advice would be appreciated.  Thank you!

  • How to get values from a multiple drop-down box.

    On my first page, I have a multiple drop-down box as the following code.
    <select name="selInterMethod" class="textbox" multiple>
    <option selected value="CH">Chicago</option>
    <option value="NY">New York</option>
    <option value="SF">San Francisco</option>
    </select>
    On my second transaction page, I need to save "CH-NY" into my Database column: city if the user selected Chicago and New York.
    How can I accomplish this in JSP?
    Thanks for your help.

    I figured out the solution. Here it is. FYI
    String inter_method = "";
    String Inter_Method[]=request.getParameterValues("selInterMethod");
         if( Inter_Method.length > 0 ) {
              for (int i = 0; i < Inter_Method.length; i++) {
                   inter_method = inter_method + '-' +Inter_Method;
              inter_method = inter_method.substring(1,inter_method.length());
              System.out.println("trx inter_method = " + inter_method);

  • Using JavaScript to auto populate a field based on numeric value of a separate drop down field

    Hello, I am trying to set up a simple, I hope, javascript which will enable to me auto populate one field based on the numberic value of another field using Acrobat Pro XI.
    Essentially I have 2 drop down fields (we'll call them DD1 and DD2).
    DD1 is the sum of 8 preceding drop down values. That sum can be anywhere from 0 - 40. Whatever that sum falls within a range which identifies a rating. The ratings and ranges are below:
    0-8: Non-Performer  
    9-16: Low Performer  
    17-24: Performer  
    25-32: High Performer  
    33-40: Exceptional Performer
    DD2 is where the rating ("non-performer", "low performer", etc.) will be captured. Instead of requiring the user to look at DD1, determine the value, and then identify and input the rating manually, I would like DD2 to auto populate the rating based on the value (sum) in DD1.
    For example, if DD1 shows a value of 27 then DD2 would auto populate "High Performer". So how do I write this code or execute this? In excel I would use an if, then statement. Is there something similar in Acrobat Pro XI.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    If you use a text field, the custom calculation script could be:
    // Custom calculation script for text field
    (function () {
        var s = getField("DD1").valueAsString;
        // Blank this field if input is blank
        if (!s) {
            event.value = "";
            return;
        // Convert string to number
        var v = +s;
        // Set this field's value based on the input
        if (v <= 40 && v >= 33) {
            event.value = "Exceptional Performer";
            return;
        if (v < 33 && v >= 25) {
            event.value = "High Performer";
            return;
        if (v < 25 && v >= 17) {
            event.value = "Performer";
            return;
        if (v < 17 && v >= 9) {
            event.value = "Low Performer";
            return;
        if (v < 9 && v >= 0) {
            event.value = "Non-Performer";
            return;
        // If none of the above fit, blank this field
        event.value = "";

  • Web services with multiple elements in the results

    We are using ASP.Net and LiveCycle Forms with LiveCycle Designer 7.0. LiveCycle forms is running on JBOSS (turnkey installation). Our problem is that if the web service returns multiple results e.g.
          £12.99
          Widget
          £0.99
          Grommett
    The form does not grow to accommodate the extra results. Has anyone had any experience of this issue. Adobe say it can be done but so far we have had no luck.

  • How do I change the order of a drop down field of an existing form?

    I have added additional responses to a drop down field and I want to reorder with previous response options.  The move up and move down feature does not work.   

    That worked.  Thanks!

  • Drop Down Field issue with Acrobat 8.0 and Acrobat 7.0

    Hi All,
         I have a dynamic table with a drop down field  which will be filled from a WD context.The minimum row count for the table is  one.
    The problem is i was able to get the Drop down values for all the rows  in Acrobat Reader 8.0 and i was able to get drop down values only for the first row(minimum row count is one) in Acrobat Reader 7.0.
    What could be the difference?
    Thanks

    It's a result of Mozilla's annoying rapid-update policy. We can load plugins (i.e. can display a PDF file within the Firefox window) but cannot load extensions (the toolbar) unless they are marked as compatible with the running version of the browser. Not only is that version now changing every 6 weeks, but developers are forbidden to mark an extension as being compatible before the new version is released to market (i.e. we cannot certify against betas). With each major release in the new Mozilla rapid cycle, the type of code Adobe uses (binary XPCOM) has to be recompiled from scratch - so as of right now the Create PDF extension doesn't work in FF7 even if you turn off compatibility checks. It should work, but Firefox won't allow it to execute.
    It means that every time Mozilla pushes a new major version to the public, XPCOM extension developers have to push an update as well. Adobe already get hammered for requiring users to update too often! However, each time Acrobat and Adobe Reader push a scheduled patch they should catch up with whatever version of FF exists at that time. The next Acrobat Family patch is due mid-January.
    It's not just Adobe who are affected by this - many other vendors include FF extensions with their products (as opposed to having them as standalone items on the Mozilla site) and cannot realistically bring out new versions of their software every time Firefox flips up a digit.

  • I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

       I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

    You can open the form in Acrobat, select "File > Save a Copy", open the copy you just saved (it doesn't happen automatically), edit the dropdown to add the new item, save as a new file, and then Reader-enable the file by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools. The resulting PDF should work with FormsCentral just like the original.
