Interactive form - WD java issue!!

hi all
I have an interactive form where in the user fills in a costcenter number and clicks on a button inside the form. It hits the backend and fetches the data via an RFC. I have to show the data in the same form in the same page. However when i do it i dont see the data back in the form. But I see I have brought the data to webdynpro runtime ( i added a table to the view to see the RFC return which shows the data.). Is it due to a script error? The PDF doesnt seem to refresh too. What could be the reasons that lead to such problems and what is the solution?

Hi.
Do you have the Interactive Form's property 'mode' set to'updateDataInPdf'?

How to create table in interactive form via Java Web Dynpro

Hi,
How to create table in interactive form via Java Web Dynpro ?
Any online tutorial / example ?
Thank you.
Regards,
Eric

Hi Eric,
Just choose the UI element Table from Form Library and drag and drop it on the form. now choose the no. of rows and columns and other settings you want about table from the wizard initiated through this process. This all is what you have to do to create the table. Now to bind it to the fields of the data source bind the individual colums to individual attributes of the node in the datasource.
Hope it will solve your query.

PdfSource content of interactive form in Java Web Dynpro

Hi All,
I am using Java web dynpro with interactive form. When I display the contents of the pdfSource of the interactive form into a text file, I see the following which is not a true binary content. Could u please let me know why the content is represented in the form other than binary?

Hi Naidu
I have written the contents of the pdfsource to a file in the server using the below code:
byte b[] = wdContext.currentContextElement().getPdfSource();
File file = new File("C:
Severance.pdf");
long length = file.length();
FileOutputStream os;
try {
     os = new FileOutputStream(file);
     os.write(b);
     os.close();
catch (Exception e)
     // TODO Auto-generated catch block
     wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Some Exception "+e);
     e.printStackTrace();
And i have added a File Download element in the Application and have implemented the below piece of code for it:
IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.currentContextElement().node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("ctx_downloadpdfsrc");
ISimpleTypeModifiable type = attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) type;
binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.TXT);
String fileName ="C:
Severance.pdf";
// path to the source file
/* converts the binary file to a byte array and moves it to the text element */
try
      File file = new File(fileName);
      FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
     ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
     int length;
     byte[] part = new byte [10 * 1024];
     while ((length = in.read(part)) != -1)
           out.write(part, 0, length);
      in.close();
                          wdContext.currentContextElement().setCtx_downloadpdfsrc(out.toByteArray());
catch(Exception e)
                          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" !!!!!!!!!!!!! "+e);
                          throw new WDRuntimeException(e);
Other than this, if we simply write this line in the code it will display the entire content of the pdfSource on the screen when deployed:
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(wdContext.currentContextElement().getPdfSource().toString());

Internationalize Interactive Forms WebDynpro Java

Hi all,
I follow all the instructions in the How To Internationalize Interactive Forms by Adobe for WebDynpro Java.pdf guide and I got the Internationalize in my Development Environment, but when I transport my Web Dynpro App trough NWDI, the Internationalize does not seems to work.
I already check this path in my production environment
/usr/sap/sys ID/INSTANCE NUMBER/j2ee/cluster/server0/temp/webdynpro/public/wd project/webdynpro/Components/com.mycomponent
and I got to see all the xdp files version (_en,_es,etc) for the Internationalize. Also the ADS configuration is set on the same server for my dev and prd environment.
Also if we forced the Adobe Form to take the xx_en.xdp the form is displayed in English.
Any Ideas for what could be the problem.
Regards,

We Open an SSO note to SAP and they told as to set xx_EN.xdp, xx_ES.xdp, xx_DE.xdp, etc using the Locale in uppercase

I have to create an interactive form with java. How can i do it?

I have to create an application that allows to create an interactive form like the option "Create Form" on google docs!
What do you suggest me to create it?
1) I think that I can use a DB to store the structure and then I can restore it with particular queries.
Thank you for answers, I hope you can help me
Best Regards,
Silvio

I also can use swing.
For "requirements", I wrote an example to show a sample of "Interactive Form" (Google Doc -> Create Form).
I'm sorry for my bad requirement,

Edited by: Savio85 on Jun 10, 2010 4:07 AMSo you expect people to sign up to Google so that they can see Google docs? Why should anyone make any effort to help you if you make this little effort to create any sort of problem description?
Anyway, if you want to create an "interactive form" using Swing, there is only one thing to do: learn the Swing API. Lucky for you there is a great online resource for that:

Good luck!

Populating Drop-down List in Interactive Forms for Java

Hi,all
I need to populate a drop-down list in Interactive Form.
I tried to do it by using Dynamic Properties of the drop-down
list,but didn't give nothing.At the same time I have successfully
populated a simple drop-down list(on webdynpro view),which I
replaced near my InteractiveForm.
What may be the problem?
Regards,
Michael

Use the DDL from the Web Dynpro pallette. Bind the same/ similar attribute of the DDL you used in the web Dynpro view in the interactive form also... this should work..
Thanks and Regards,

Adobe Interactive Forms in Java WebDynpro opens as separate app

Hi,
I created a WebDynpro component where I embedded an interactive form.
It works in that sense that the form is populated.
But the form opens as a separate window. It is not shown in place.
Is there a known problem or do I have to install an additional component for the inplace display?
Thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael,
When you say Embedded the form, I hope you have used the Interactive Form UI Element. This UI element has to be used inside a view. Whether it will open in new window or same window depends on how you call the View.

Showing linebreaks in Adobe interactive forms webdynpro java

Hey
Im using interactive form from Adobe to show the content of my context, but the linebreaks gets converted into spaces. Heres my scenario:
I have create a context:
Person (node)
- Name (value attribute)
- Lastname (value attribute)
I have create a view (view1) with 2 TextEdit to enter som text. This two TextEdit fields is binded to the contextnode.
I have created another view (view2) with interactive form. The interactive forms consist of 2 InputFields that is also binded to the context.
When i run the application i insert som text in the first view (view1). Then i go to the second view(view2) to display the content as a PDF. This works, but my problem is that the linebreaks I have created in the view1 gets converted into spaces in view2. I have allowd multiple lines.
My question is that:
does Adobe interactive form support linebreaks from the context? It is possible to enter linebreaks if I edit the interactive form at runtime, but I want it to display the linebreaks automaticly from the context.
Are there any way around this? Please help me out. I cant find any sap note about this issue

I know a little more about the problem now. After viewing the XML source I change the property of the inputfield.
It was like this:
<field name="verdipers_felt" y="130.7001mm" x="180.1801mm" w="101.6004mm" h="44.4501mm" locale="no_NO" access="ReadOnly">
but i changed the access to be nonInteractive
<field name="verdipers_felt" y="130.7001mm" x="180.1801mm" w="101.6004mm" h="44.4501mm" locale="no_NO" access="nonInteractive">
now view2 shows the linebreak as in view1... Buut! when im going back to view1 from view2, the linebreaks gets converted into spaces
thats pretty wierd, aint it?

The following error text was processed in the system NED : WebDynpro Exception: The ADS call has failed. You can find information about the cause in the error.pdf on the application server
Does Adobe interactive form requires Java stack to be active??
Or is it only a configuration issue in ADS???
What all should i take care in order to successfully run an adobe interactive form???

Dear Abhishake,
Thanks for your reply.
I had gone through the link you had mentioned detailly.what i understand that is ZCI needs to be installed thats comming with Support pack SAP NetWeaver SPS 10 .
Will this also take care of ADS configuration.Where can i find a guide to ADS configuration and ZCI installation.

The RFC contains more than one record. While i tried to populate all the records to the dynamic table i cant able to got all the datas. I got only one record to the table.
    Interactive Form table node structure is:
            Node                                          Cardinality                             Singleton

        chnTableList                                     1..1                                         true
                       chnTableRow                     0..n                                         true

                                         attr-1
                                           attr-2
                                            attr-n
o   The nodes bound to table and row in Adobe form are:
chnTableList u2013 bound to Table
chnTableRow u2013 bound to Row
If anybody know means let me tell how to solve the problem.
Thanks,
Senthil prabhu

Adobe Interactive Form Shows Blank (WD JAVA ZCI)

Hi Expert,
I have the following problem.
I developed an Adobe interactive Form embebed in WD java app with success in DEV environment, but i have an issue in QA environment.
When i run the Adobe Form logged in portal, the application runs fine, but, when i do unlogged, WD app run fine but Adobe Form shows blank
Any idea?

Hi Sean
In the Visual Admin of the server that runs the ADS check under server->services->destinations click on http folder. There should be something under that called FP_ICF_DATA_<sid of backend>. If there is not then create one in there.

Date Format Issue with Interactive Form

Hi, here is the scenario:
-We just upgraded to SP17 from SP15
-I'm using Livecycle Designer 8.0
When we were on SP15, this was not an issue. I was wondering if anyone encountered this problem and if so, if there is a workaround?
I create an interactive form to start a guided procedure process. Im passing the data from my desktop Interactive form to another callable object in GP to send an email with the PDF attached. This all works correclty.
My date/time fields are set to type DATE with a display pattern of YYYY-MM-DD. When I create the form in the GP administrator to my desktop and open the PDF, the date format is correct. However, when I submit the form to start the process, the incomming date fields to be mapped to my second Callable Object have change in format from "2009-02-18" to "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009".
This is true in the new form I receive via email, and also in NWA->monitoring->guided procedures when I check the instances. The input mapping is already set to the false formatting.
When I open the form from the second callable object with the incorrect date format (in designer), the date's display patterns are set to YYYY-MM-DD but are not being displayed as such.
New discovery....I tried to create a Business Logic callable object and format the date. I created a string input and date output and mapped them accordingly. When I perform a "TEST" from the design time and use the input "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009", the string is automatically converted to 18/02/2009 in the output, which is what I want to occur. The only problem is when I run the actual process, the same "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009" is being output instead of the 18/02/2009 in the TEST.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

This test program might help...
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class ExpandYear
    public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException

     System.out.println("test1: " + test1 + " to : " +
                  sdf_4dyear.format(sdf_2dyear.parse(test1)));
     String test2 = "4/9/99";

Issues in creating Interactive Form UI element at runtime.

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement according to which i need to create multiple PDF forms at runtime.This i need to do using webdynpro Java.
The approach that i would be using is creating interactive form U I element at runtime.
So in a test application in views wdDoModifyView i added the below code i.e.
In the do modify view i have added the below piece of code
if (!firstTime)
               IWDNodeInfo l_sel_nodeInfo =
                    wdContext.nodeCtx_vn_binary().getNodeInfo();
               IWDAttributeInfo l_attrInfo =
                    l_sel_nodeInfo.getAttribute(
                         IPrivateAdobeView1.ICtx_vn_binaryElement.CTX__VA__BINARY);
               if (view.getElement("adobeFrm") == null) {
                    IWDTransparentContainer container =
                         (IWDTransparentContainer) view.getElement(
                              "RootUIElementContainer");
                    IWDInteractiveForm adobeFrm =
                         (IWDInteractiveForm) view.createElement(
                              IWDInteractiveForm.class,
                              "adobeFrm");
                    adobeFrm.bindDataSource(
                         wdContext.nodeCtx_vn_adobe().getNodeInfo());
                    adobeFrm.setMode(WDInteractiveFormMode.UPDATE_DATA_IN_PDF);
                    adobeFrm.setTemplateSource("AdobeView1_InteractiveForm.xdp");
                    adobeFrm.setDisplayType(WDInteractiveFormDisplayType.NATIVE);
                    adobeFrm.bindPdfSource(l_attrInfo);
                    adobeFrm.setVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);
                    container.addChild(adobeFrm);
                    adobeFrm.setTemplateSource("AdobeView1_InteractiveForm.xdp");
But now i am stuck at this point as its giving me null pointer exception on execution.
Could some one provide me links to the tutorials which contains dynamic creation of Interactive form UI element.
I do have links which show creation of input fields at run time but couldn't get any on creation of Interactive Form UI element at runtime (dynamically).
Thanks in advance!!!

Hello Dan,
About the license issue, take a look at the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">Adobe Interactive forms section on SDN</a> on the right side there is a FAQ. In the FAQ there is something mentioned about license.
When you are using NWDS04s the Adobe Document Service (ADS) is already installed. You only need to configure the ADS. Take a look at <a href="http://service.sap.com/adobe">http://service.sap.com/adobe</a> on the left click on "Media Library" --> "Documentation".
When you want to make use of Adobe Interactive forms you need a Adobe Reader 7.x.x or higher.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Maarten.

Web Dynpro Java and Adobe Interactive forms Which Tool Should I Use?

Hello Experts,
Can anyone help me with deciding the right technology to use among WDJ and Interactive form by adobe. I want to prepare a presentation to showcase the strong and weak points in order to decide the final technology.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I personally prefer Web Dynpro Java without Interactive forms in most cases.
    Interactive forms are developed on top of Web Dynpro, so you are including an extra tier with the complexity it adds.
    PDF files tend to go big and performance tends to go down. In average, my forms weight between 1 - 5 Mb so network traffic is a bottleneck.
    The scripting environment is very poor.
    On the other hand PDFs interfaces are nicer than WDJ, but I think navigation is worst in part because of the performance issues. Considering this, reporting could be a good use of Interactive Forms.
    The best scenario for using Interactive Forms is for off-line applications, which can't be done with WDJ. For example, if you want your customer to fill an order list, you can send automatically an offline pdf file wich he can fill and submit to your company, initiating a bpm.
Best regards, Aldo.
