Duplicate form submission

We created a form for our website to receive inquirys. On a regular basis we receive a duplicate of the same email.
Can anyone help?

We do not prevent people from submitting multiple times. Can you confirm if those duplicate are because people have submitted more than once or maybe click on the submit button multiple times?

Preventing the Duplicate Form Submission??

Hi,
How to prevent the duplicate form from been submitted without disabling the back button in IE???
Thanks,
JavaCrazyLover

I had the same wonder. I found the following articles are quite helpful. They give detailed background info, a design pattern to deal with it, and a Struts implementation.

Preventing duplicate form submission when page is loaded from history

Hi
We have record insertion forms some of which insert unique
records into sql databases and some which may not. Is there a way
of stopping the user pulling the page from history (or using the
back button) and then resubmitting the data?
I have put a trigger on the databases that basically updates
existing data rather than re-inserting it if a duplicate is entered
but as some of the record submissions are not unique this isn't
always possible. I would also rather restrict the submission client
side to reduce bandwidth and database calls.
I have tried various 'no caching' techniques on the page but
none seem to work. Anyone have any bright ideas ... I am all out of
ideas bright or not!!!
TIA
Karen

I have used session variables to control this sort of thing.
Basically the
insert/update statement tests for the existance of a variable
with a
particular name. If no variable exists then this will
indicate that the
request is coming from a history file, and it will not allow
the process.
Equally as part of the insert process change the value in the
variable and
do not allow and insert if the variable holds that value.

Preventing duplicate form submission

how do i prevent from the form being submitted twice in case user clicks the submit button twice?

Search at the net "struts tokens".

Prevent duplicate form submission from same user

What's the best way to prevent the same person/computer from
submitting a form? I am wondering about cookies, ip address,
etc.

I am wondering about cookies...
You got me wondering, too. I thought of something like:
formPage.cfm
============
<cfif isDefined("cookie.isFormSubmitted") and
cookie.isFormSubmitted>
You have already submitted the form. You may only do so
once.<br>
<p>
<a href="someOtherBusinessPage.cfm">To
business</a>
</p>
<cfelse>
<form action="actionPage.cfm" method="post">
<input name="field1" type="Text">
<input name="send" type="Submit" value="Send">
</form>
</cfif>
actionPage.cfm
=============
<cfif NOT isDefined("cookie.isFormSubmitted")>
<cfcookie name="isFormSubmitted" expires="never"
value="true">
</cfif>

Issue while starting a workflow using a form submission cq5

Hi,
I have followed the below mentioned tutorial and completed it.
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/workflows/create-models.html#par_reference
Once done, I did try to start the workflow using a normal form submission, by giving workflow name in the "Start Workflow" box.
Once clicked it will send the notification to my inbox, and when I double click, the form 1 will be displayed. Once submitted form two will be displayed.
But when I submit the form 2, it thorws the below exception.
But when I start the same workflow using the sidekick, It works perfectly fine. I am guessing that the {payload}.html is not getting set when the WF is initaited by a form submission.
Could you please help with this. Thank you !

How can I have a recipient complete duplicate forms?

I have to send a form to several entities with in my company. Each entity needs to complete the same form for each of their accounts (ranging from 5-20 accounts per entity). How can i have them duplate the form easily. I am using Adobe 9 standard. The form is currently in excel.

Just have them save it to a new name. It is not clear what you are doing with the form. They can simply be completed and submitted, requiring no saving (only data submitted). What do you mean by duplicate forms as such.

My 'contact' form is not working. When I send a test contact it returns to my adobe email account this: "Contact Form" has a new form submission.

My 'contact' form is not working. When I send a test contact it returns to my adobe email account this:
"Contact Form" has a new form submission.

What exactly is not working ? As you have mentioned form submission notification is received in your email account so form process is working I believe but you want the notifications to go to another email account I think.
Have you added the email address in "Email to" field in form options ? If yes and then also you are not receiving the form , then please provide me the site url and post a screenshot or form with option box open.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Create a JSON file from a form submission

Hi there, I am trying to create my first BC app but struggling to find a solution to create some data inside BC, I need to create a JSON file from a form submission that will be used as feed for my app.
How I see it working:
- Form submits details { Name, Email, Phone Number and a Date.} to a JSON file.
- My app.js will read the JSON file and populate the content on a graph.
Any other ideas will be much appreciated.
I don't know if BC is has another way to host data from an app! but if you know pleas share.

Hi Liam I must be explaining it wrong then, I am creating a BC App not an WebApp, At the moment I have my BC App generating the WebApp but once its done the JSON is generated somewhere in BC where i cannot fetch I tried using some directories to fetch it.
I created the app this way:
function tryWebAppCreate(data, xhr) {
    $.getJSON("booking-data/webapp.json")
        .done(function(webAppJsonDescriptor) {
            createWebApp(WEBAPP_NAME, webAppJsonDescriptor.webAppCustomFields, webAppJsonDescriptor.webAppSampleData, loadTeamMembers);
        .fail(function() {
            systemNotifications.showError("Could not load webapp definition file");
But now to fetch it i tried: ( replacing the braces with appropriate IDs)
/api/v2/admin/sites/[site id]/webapps/[app id]/webappp.json
My 3rd party App will connect to my BC App and from my app i have another call to send the JSON info.
I just cant call it! maybe if you know how please let me know.

Struts portlet page going out of context during form submission

I?m working on the Weblogic 8.1 version and have a struts portlet inside a portal alongwith the other portlets. When a html link is used, the jsps remain inside the portal context but during a form submission, the request is processed and the jsp is displayed out of the portal as a separate application.
I?m using the request.getContextPath() in the jsp but still it is not workin.
Is there anything I should be modifying or that has to make it work?
What are the changes (if any) has to be made for the form submission in a jsp with regard to a Struts Portlet such that the form submission stays inside the parent portal context.

How do I attach a JavaBean to a HTML Form submission

I found an example in the O'Reilly JavaServer Pages book that shows you how to pass a JavaBean from a JSP to a servlet.
<jsp:useBean id="userInfo" scope="request" class="com.ora.jsp.beans.userinfo.UserInfoBean">
<jsp:setProperty name="userInfo" property="*" />
</jsp:useBean>
<jsp:forward page="/myServlet" />
Then in the servlet, you do:
UserInfoBean userInfo = ( UserInfoBean )request.getAttribute("userInfo");
I want to do almost the exact same thing...but I don't want to forward the request. I want to pass the JavaBean along as part of an HTML form submission. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.

Assuming that you have setup your environment correctly and you have a web application server like Tomcat running.
Since you didn't provide the code for the bean I created my own. You can change the code any way you want.
Say UserInfoBean is :
package test17;
public class UserInfoBean {
    String firstName;
    String lastName;
    public UserInfoBean() {
    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
}And say you have a JSP page like this:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
<jsp:useBean id="userInfo" scope="request" class="test17.UserInfoBean">
<jsp:setProperty name="userInfo" property="*" />
</jsp:useBean>
<form action="index.jsp" method="POST">
      <input type="text" name="firstName" value="${userInfo.firstName}"/>
      <br/><br/>
      <input type="text" name="firstName" value="${userInfo.lastName}"/>
      <br/><br/>
      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>If you access the JSP page like this:
http://localhost:8080/p/test17/index.jsp?firstName=George&lastName=W
then it passes in the request parameter from the query string and populates the form.
Once the form is populated if you submit the form , data is transmitted to the next page , and you can access it via request.getParameter.
Is this the solution you are looking for?

Contact Form Submission Error

I've got a website on which there is a "Contact Us" form. I have set the submit button to send the form to the email address [email protected] This is the address associated with my Adobe ID. However, instead of receiving a simple form submission, I get the e-mail that I've attached below.

Have you heard about this workaround? I attempted it, but it didn't work for me.
"You then need to edit the following: ( line 103 )
function get_email_headers($to_email, $form_email) {
$headers = 'From: ' . $to_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $form_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: Adobe Muse CC 2014.2.0.284 with PHP' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . PHP_EOL;
return $headers;
This needs changing to the following:
function get_email_headers($to_email, $form_email) {
$headers = 'From: ' . $to_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $form_email . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: Adobe Muse CC 2014.2.0.284 with PHP' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . PHP_EOL;
return $headers;
The form will now work with hotmail, Gmail etc etc
Hope this helps anyone having the same problem "

SSL certificate - securing web form submission - privacy, usability and Adobe's UX design ethos

Hi,
(newbie alert)
I'm just learning BC and it doesn't seem too bad. One problem I have is the shared certificate and I wonder if there are plans to address this shortcoming in the short term?
Privacy is a growing concern in Australia (in addition to specific new legal requirements). The web forms that we will use are likely to contain personal information. These should be secured by a certificate.
If you accept that most end users are not tech-savvy then you might agree with the premise that "Users should not see different domain names in the address bar when submitting personal information".
Switching domains, multiple times for web forms submission or ecommerce, is in my view, a pretty simplistic and business-centric (as opposewd to user-centric) design approach to the task.
How does Adobe explain their committment to the end-user and their system design decisions regarding the shared certificate situation? I'd be interested to know if Adobe believes this is a "good-enough" solution based on a range of factors, especially expediency for Adobe. Or are there concrete plans to "fix" this (in my view) sub-optimal situation in the near-term?
Happy to discuss further.
Cheers
BCStarter

Hey there,
It is an integral part of how the system works in terms of the system itself and the business model, So it wont be any way to change it any time soon without a big change from BC on how BC works.
Web forms in BC can be secured with a certificate. Many systems change domain for secure subdomains etc, most people are not tech savy and they actually do not even notice things like change of domain, most actually do not check the SSL certificate. You can even just put graphics of lock symbols and say your form is secure, even when it is not and people fill it in. (Studies have shown this)
With many eCommerce sites, booking sites etc under my belt, with good UI Design and site flow and good information about being secure etc to the end user - No issues with clients and clients happy with the sales they get through. The domain thing has never been an issue.
I seen people complain about it on the forums before but looking at the sites, its the user experience flow of the site itself being the primary problem.
Yep, nice if it was all under the same domain, but this will not likely change in BC especially any time soon, but a site built well - this really does not matter that much, Google for example even offers anaytlitcs settings to work cross domain so they fully well know things like this work on modern websites.
