Output Service invocation with webservices

Question

Hello,
I want to invoke the output service with a Java Client using webservices. I have generated the proxy Java classes using Apache Axis, and then I wrote a Java Client invoking the output service, using a simple form (xdp file) and a data xml file.
The service invocation looks good (I have no erros in the log file) but I have no pdf file generated and I get the following error message..
     Print request successful. No output generated as recordLevel or recordName does not matches with the data file.
If anyone can help. Thanks !

The problem looks like you have not referenced your data source properly. <br /><br />Assume that you had this XML data source:<br /><br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br /><batch><br /><LoanRecord><br /><mortgageAmount>500000</mortgageAmount><br /><lastName>Blue</lastName><br /><firstName>Tony</firstName><br /><SSN>555666777</SSN><br /><PositionTitle>Product Manager</PositionTitle><br /><Address>555 No Where Dr</Address><br /><City>New York</City><br /><StateProv>New York</StateProv><br /><ZipCode>51256</ZipCode><br /><Email>[email protected]</Email><br /><PhoneNum>555-7418</PhoneNum><br /><FaxNum>555-9981</FaxNum><br /><Description>Buy a home</Description><br /></LoanRecord><br /><LoanRecord><br /><mortgageAmount>300000</mortgageAmount><br /><lastName>White</lastName><br /><firstName>Sam</firstName><br /><SSN>555666222</SSN><br /><PositionTitle>Program Manager</PositionTitle><br /><Address>557 No Where Dr</Address><br /><City>New York</City><br /><StateProv>New York</StateProv><br /><ZipCode>51256</ZipCode><br /><Email>[email protected]</Email><br /><PhoneNum>555-7445</PhoneNum><br /><FaxNum>555-9986</FaxNum><br /><Description>Buy a home</Description><br /></LoanRecord><br /><LoanRecord><br /><mortgageAmount>700000</mortgageAmount><br /><lastName>Green</lastName><br /><firstName>Steve</firstName><br /><SSN>55566688</SSN><br /><PositionTitle>Project Manager</PositionTitle><br /><Address>445 No Where Dr</Address><br /><City>New York</City><br /><StateProv>New York</StateProv><br /><ZipCode>51256</ZipCode><br /><Email>[email protected]</Email><br /><PhoneNum>555-2211</PhoneNum><br /><FaxNum>555-2221</FaxNum><br /><Description>Buy a home</Description><br /></LoanRecord><br /></batch><br /><br />You must reference the XML data source that contains data records. An XML element is used to separate the data records. For example, in this XML data source, the XML element that separates data records is named LoanRecord.<br /><br />Plus - the XML element name must match the field name in your form. <br /><br />Your error is saying that the recordName or recordLevel does not match your data file. <br />     <br />Set the Record Name option by invoking the OutputOptionsSpec objects setRecordName method and passing a string value that specifies the XML element name in the data source that separates the data records. (For example-- LoanRecord).<br /><br />Hope this helps
