Merge LiveCycle Form with XML using JAVA

Hello.
I am trying to find out how to merge non-interactive form with XML (using JAVA) so the users can see the final output form with the data filled in.
What are my choices..?
So far, I have created the interactive forms as template using LiveCycle 8 and wrote ASP.NET code to extract data and store it in SQL database when the user fill out and submit the form.
It works great but another agency wants to access the form as well.
They told us that they will create the XML themselves from the database, so they just need to combine the form with XML to display it (non-interactive form).
They want to use JAVA but I am not sure how to do that...
Any suggestion?

Assuming that you start with XML in an org.w3c.dom.Document that stores the XML data. Before you can merge it into a form, you have to convert it to a com.adobe.idp.Document object. TO convert a org.w3c.dom.Document to a com.adobe.idp.Document object -- use the following Java code:
private Document convertDataSource(org.w3c.dom.Document myDOM)
byte[] mybytes = null;
try
//Create a Java Transformer object
TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transForm = transFact.newTransformer();
//Create a Java ByteArrayOutputStream object
ByteArrayOutputStream myOutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
//Create a Java Source object
javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource myInput = new DOMSource(myDOM);
//Create a Java Result object
javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult myOutput = new StreamResult(myOutStream);
//Populate the Java ByteArrayOutputStream object
transForm.transform(myInput,myOutput);
// Get the size of the ByteArrayOutputStream buffer
int myByteSize = myOutStream.size();
//Allocate myByteSize to the byte array
mybytes = new byte[myByteSize];
//Copy the content to the byte array
mybytes = myOutStream.toByteArray();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("The following exception occurred: "+e.getMessage());
//Create a com.adobe.idp.Document object and copy the
//contents of the byte array
Document myDocument = new Document(mybytes);
return myDocument;
THen you can merge myDocument into the Form using renderPDFFOrm:
FormsResult formOut = formsClient.renderPDFForm(
formName, //formQuery
myDocument, //inDataDoc
pdfFormRenderSpec, //PDFFormRenderSpec
uriValues, //urlSpec
fileAttachments //attachments
Hope this helps!

Invoking Web Forms from Sun Solaris Client PC

HI,
Can any one tell me whether we can invoke Web forms in Sun Solaris Client PC. If yes what is the way, either do we need to use the Netscape Navigator browser or some thing else to invoke the same.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
S.Karthick

Please post Forms questions on the Forms discussion board.
You'll need a browser (netscape will do) and a JVM (you can use Sun's Java plug-in).
More info on how to setup this configuration is here:

Suppress Missing Data not work in web form with formula column inside

Dear All,
I've a planning web form with formula column inside to calculate the variance and % variance. But missing cell can't be suppressed, although I've checked the 'Suppress Missing Blocks' and 'Suppress Missing Data' options.
Anyone have face the same problem..?? and how to fixed it..??
thanks.
Regards,
VieN

There is a known issue that sounds like the problem you are experiencing
10358200 - If a formula column exists in a data form, selecting the Suppress missing option does not hide rows that do not contain data.
Cheers

Is there a tool that exports and imports Planning Web Forms with securities

Hi,
Is there a tool that exports and imports Planning Web Forms with securities?
Besides Planning FormDefUtil.cmd
OS: Windows2003
Planning Version: 921
Thx

I don't think there is any one utility that exports both forms AND security. In version 9.3.1, the ExportSecurity.cmd will export dimensional security and form security. However I seem to recall that earlier versions only gave you the dimensional security, and not the form security. Unfortunately, I don't recall at which version the change was made.
Have you given the ExportSecurity.cmd utility a shot?
Hope this helps,

Is it possible to use 32-bit firefox with 64-bit java plugin?

Is it possible to use 32-bit firefox with 64-bit java plugin?
I'd like to use 32-bit firefox and I already install 64-bit java plugin.
Is that a right choice not to install 32-bit java plugin?
Will these cause problem?
Thanks in advance.

Nope - you need the 32bit Java to go with the 32bit Firefox if you want Java to run

Scrollbars problem when running a form with Sun Java instead of Jinitiator

Hi All;
Our forms are configured to run with the Sun Java instead of
Jinitiator; functionality wise everything works fine, but when running
the forms on the web there are 2 extra scrollbars
(one vertical and one horizontal) in addition of the browser scrollbar.
Note: This is does not happen when running the same form with Jinitiator (same configurations)
Anyone encountered this situation or has an idea how to to get ride of the extra scrollbars ???
Thanks.

Thanks for your replay.
I was able to make all forms working without scrollbars when running form developer at the desktop (windows os) without scrollbars
but when I run them at the application server (Linux Red Hat 3 Enterprise), scrollbars are still there.
I tried your suggestion but did not help
here is the formsweb configuration

The window get maximized at when-new-form-instance.
Does it has to do with the canvas or window height and width at the design time????
Thanks.

Oracle 9i WEB-forms, with or without Headstart?

We have some applications that are created with Designer 2.1.2 and Headstart 2.1.2 and we are about to migrate these to Oracle9i Web Forms and here are my questions:
1) What are the advantages/disadvantages if we continue to use Headstart?
2) What do we need to get Headstart working together with Oracle 9i Web Forms?
3) Where do we order new software/license for "Headstart for 9i"?
4) Are there any way we can get support on Headstart except the forum on OTN?
5) Briefly explained, if we remove Headstart and replace it with own-developed code, what would our main tasks/problems be?
6) Are there any functionality we cannot have if we remove Headstart from our applications?

1) What are the advantages/disadvantages if we continue to use Headstart?
The advantages would be more or less the same as for Headstart 2.1.2, except for the fact that you can make use of new features, and it runs on the web too! A 'disadvantage' would be that only web forms is supported out of the box (not client/server) and you need to set up an application server. Of course you need to migrate, which sometimes can be a difficult task. However, this depends on things like customizations on top of Headstart, typical client/server features that have been used and that cannot be migrated to web forms etc. A lot of this has been documented in the Headstart Migration Guide.
2) What do we need to get Headstart working together with Oracle 9i Web Forms?
We build Headstart against Designer 9i (+ Developer 9i that comes with it). At this point we still are working on Headstart for Designer 9i.
3) Where do we order new software/license for "Headstart for 9i"?
Contact your Oracle Consulting Manager, or call Oracle and ask for Mike Kruijsdijk.
4) Are there any way we can get support on Headstart except the forum on OTN?
You can hire consultancy from us or one of our partners.
5) Briefly explained, if we remove Headstart and replace it with own-developed code, what would our main tasks/problems be?
To mention some of them:
- It probably would take man-years to build a template package with the same functionality
- Headstart code at some points deals with Forms bugs, which you now have to deal with yourself
- You have no support any more (upgrades) and need to do upgrades for new versions of Designer yourself. I've seen more than one customer that are years behind with upgrading to new versions of Designer, because of this.
And many more. You really should investigate this thouroughly before you start on this. It would not surprise me if you come to the conclusion you might as well rebuild your applications completely.
6) Are there any functionality we cannot have if we remove Headstart from our applications?
You can have anything you like, as long as you build it yourself. But for practical reasons I suppose you will not have RuleFrame for example.
As long as you don't start building new applications with it, the code practically is yours, so you might consider to do the upgrade of Headstart yourself. Of course support will be more difficult, but you still can hire consultancy.

Windows Update with Sun's Java Virtual Machine?

I have downloaded Sun's Java Virtual Machine for my Windows XP Pro system.
There is a new Critical Security Windows Update (Q329077 "resolving the Java Applet vulnerabilities in the Microsoft VM.
Should I download the update or would this conflict with what I have in Java?
Thank you for whatever help you can give.
Mary

As you just said, the problem is with the Microsoft VM, not the with Sun VM.

Submitting to web form with onSubmit

I've made a program to submit to web forms everything works fine and the correct page is returned. But when the forms contain an onSubmit function
eg <form name=form1 onSubmit="return check(this)" action=file.php method=post> my program just returns this error java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 405 . Does anyone know how to get around the OnSubmit part? Snippent of my code:
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)u.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded" );
conn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
// get the output stream to POST our form data
OutputStream rawOutStream = conn.getOutputStream();
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(rawOutStream);
pw.print(query); // here we send our query
pw.flush();
pw.close();
// get the input stream for reading the reply
InputStream rawInStream = conn.getInputStream();
BufferedReader rdr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(rawInStream));
String line;
String buffer = "";
while ((line = rdr.readLine()) != null) {
buffer += (line + "\n");

Forget the last message i worked it out, I have another problem know, my program need to access a web page behind a login page, I can login fine but then when i request the 2nd page it doesn't rememeber that I'm logged in and redirects me to the unauthorized page. I'm sending the cookies to the 2nd page but i'm not sure if i'm doing it correctly there's seems to be 2 cookies in the header for the 2nd page for some reason here are the headers and their values:
null - HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date - Mon, 06 Jan 2003 12:57:44 GMT
Server - Apache/2.0.40 (Unix) PHP/4.2.3
Set-Cookie - CFID=6039;expires=Wed, 29-Dec-2032 11:11:46 GMT;path=/
Set-Cookie - CFTOKEN=22492303;expires=Wed, 29-Dec-2032 11:11:46 GMT;path=/
Expires - Thu, 01 Dec 1994 16:00:00 GMT
Cache-Control - no-cache="set-cookie,set-cookie2"
Content-Language - en-US
Connection - close
Transfer-Encoding - chunked
here's the code that tries to connect to the 2nd page that returns the unauthorized page.
URL serverURL = new URL("http://theurl.com/page.html");
urlconnection= (HttpURLConnection)serverURL.openConnection();
urlconnection.setDoOutput(true);
urlconnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
urlconnection.setFollowRedirects(true);
urlconnection.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
urlconnection.setRequestProperty("Set-Cookie",cookie);
urlconnection.setDoOutput(true);
urlconnection.setDoInput(true);
urlconnection.setUseCaches(false);
urlconnection.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
urlconnection.connect();
BufferedReader rdr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlconnection.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ( (line = rdr.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
I've found that another people have had this problem to after reading through various forums but no one has posted a 'good' solution. I think the main problem is that I need to know what data the 2nd page actually looks for to validate the user and the format of the data (the format of the cookie data mainly). Maybe I'm just sending the cookie data in the wrong format but I dunno? is there any program that can tell me what data the page needs to see that the user has already logged in. i'd be most grateful for any input. Thanks in advance.

New custom web form not visible in the menu.

Hello WPC Experts,
I created a new web form by following this pdf https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2041eb17-6001-2b10-b08d-b95ce55fa9b7
After the "3.2.6 Referencing the XML File in the Document Type" step and restarting the server, I don't see the web form I just created.
I have the wpc_editor_role assigned. Where should I be looking to access the new web form.

Hi Anja,
Thanks for your response. I was working on other issues. I confirmed that I enabled "Generate UI-command" for my new Web Resource Type.
I deleted the xml/xsl files and recreated them by copying from the how to guide: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2041eb17-6001-2b10-b08d-b95ce55fa9b7
After referencing the xml/xsl files and restarting the portal, where should I check for the new web form I just created ( this is section "4. Result" in the how to guide).
Thanks
Srinivas.

Adding Controls dynamically in the Infopath/Web form with dynamic controls

Hello,
The client requirement is to create SharePoint solution for the below image. A web form/Info-path form will be created where user can enter the details and data will be submitted. I am looking for a solution to implement the requirements in SharePoint .
if not possible then using customizations and SQL server.
User can enter the Title , Overview in the form , which we can make Single line and multiple line of Text. The problem is with third , fourth and fifth fields.
1) In third field , i.e. Qualification Summary , User can add/delete , dynamic text boxes..This can be achieved I think using repeating tables/sections in Infopath...How data will be saved in SharePoint columns as it is not fixed that how many
columns user can enter , how columns(static) will be created in the list ??
2) For fourth field , user will select one or many Project description title n descriptions which are there in the system..User will not write anything just select..But how many project descriptions they can select , again its not fixed..How
we can manage it in SharePoint List OR any custom solution ?
3) For fifth field , user will select one or many Awards which are there in the system.User will not write anything just select..But how many awards they can select , again its not fixed..How we can manage it in SharePoint List OR any custom
solution ?

>Lets say , the data for user selection is stored in two separate lists
secondary data connection is only for one list so you can get data from only single list by creating list connection. Later you can drag & drop that connection as repeating table or bind with any control so display in form. If you have mulitiple list
then you may use lookup column or would need to create two seperate data connection.
>Do you think its a right approach ?
multi selection listbox is helpful if requirement is select multiple records or filter records. You can almost achieve most of the requirement but still depends on business need. Ofcource some limitation is also there.
>I'm planning to propose a custom .net form
Of course custom form is always better than OOTB in some cases but i always prefer OOTB solution if my requirement is being achieved by it.

Saving data in Planning web form with about 270 columns failed

Hi all and please help!
We developed a number of planning forms with a lot of columns (business requirement:() and faced issues with entering data in both web form and excel via smartview.
As I undersood already that it's not about 'service.olap.dataQuery.grid.maxColumns' property in essbase.properties file for APS.
For test I developed some planning forms with different number of columns (and only one row) from 255 to 300 and saving stops to work when the number of columns exceeds 257 columns. It's rather close to default value for maxColumns property=255 but not equal. I essbase log we could see short spreadsheeting request and then restarting of Essbase server.
And at the same time if we transposed columns into rows - saving works properly.
Please help!
Thanks in advance,

Hi, Alp
Thank you for you answer. I've checked your link and it's amazing that information like this was written not in admin but in user guide.
Another thing i've wondered that it depends on setting of Calculate Currencies calc script (run on save). But it's just a think men must know and do I think.
Unfortunately I can't see how does it work, although I've done this settings.
If I set local currency for one of the entity as GBP then I can enter data in GBP of course and Calculate Currencies script runs ok. I can see exact values for local (GBP) and default currency (USD) just on planning form as I set currency dim in page.
But in my case when i set local currency for this entity back to USD entered value in GBP always changed back to USD regardless of Calculate Currencies script settings. It happens during save on the form
Can I get a bit more information about some other settings to be done to make this functionality work?
BR,
Vladimir

ERROR Creating Web Form with "Create Sales Opportunity" checked

When I create a new web form and choose to "Create Sales Opportunity" I get an error upon saving:
"- Probability (%) must be a number and may contain a decimal point.
- Amount must be a number and cannot be empty."

Never mind, I see the problem. Mac OS X's scroll bars don't show up by default any more. Didn't see the extra fields to fill out.

How do I create web forms with updateable mock up graphics?

I am interested in creating both web forms and pdfs that are able to update a mock up image, similar to those found on sites like zazzle and society6. The user enters text, picks a color, uploads an image, etc. and the mock up image is updated for them to review and ultimately submit for purchase. Can this be achieved without coding (in Muse perhaps), or with a minimum of coding knowledge? I assume it would be a process using several pieces of adobe software, I just don't know which ones or where to start looking for tutorials specific to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would start with Muse. If you have more experience with coding, using Dreamweaver. InDesign is not appropriate for what you're trying to do.
