Passing many form fields to servlet

Hi all,
In my web application I need to populate a class with form values.
From inside a JSP, it's quite easy:
<jsp:useBean id="beanId" class="myClass" />
<jsp:setProperty name="beanId" property="*"/>And the values are set automatically.
Can use something similar to get form fields from inside a servlet? How can I have a bean instantiated with form values?
Thanks!

Not in the standard API, no.
However the [url http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/beanutils/]Jakarta commons beanutils provides some handy utilities to do just this.
Specifically the method BeanUtils.populate(Object bean, Map properties) will do what you are after - and IMO better than the standard JSP setProperty tag, because it won't treat empty string as if the parameter wasn't there.

I have a Application Form with many form fields and...

I need to edit some of the text. How do I do this without having to spend lots of time putting in the form fields again?

I am guessing you have put the form together in something like InDesign, made a PDF, done a lot of work with form fields over the top in Acrobat and now need to update the base artwork whilst retaining your Acrobat Edits?
The way to do this is make your base artwork edits and make a new PDF (with a different name), open your PDF with the added form fields and choose Document > Replace Pages, navigate to your new PDF and replace the pages.

Pass two Form Fields in MM_editRedirectUrl

Following update to an Access database, the update page code redirects to the initial input page. The redirect parameters need to include the event ID and the event name. It is currently running by including only the event ID. I can't seem to figure out how to also include the event name - which needs to be returned with the name "event." The event name is passed to the update page as a parameter, and I have it stored in a hidden field, which I then want sent back. Nothing I have tried works. Here is the code:

HELP!!! Wierd CF 9.02 issue when "to many" form fields are posted in "post" method

So we just installed cf9.02 64 bit on all brand new windows server 2003 machines and migrated all code over and we have run into the wierdest (and very dead on the water) issue, any form posting to a cf templae with a "large" amount of fields using method = "post" barfs, works fine with method = "get" or with a smaller amount of fields. Here are some "basic" examples I pulled out of our app:
https://dev1.mystudentsprogress.com/testposting/smallform.html --> this is using method = "post" and works fine with a small number of fields, click save and it calls a cf template that simply says "index.cfm here"
https://dev1.mystudentsprogress.com/testposting/formget.html ---> this is using method = "get" and also works fine, click save and it calls a cf template that simply says "index.cfm here"
https://dev1.mystudentsprogress.com/testposting/formpost.html --> this is using method = "post" and it barfs, click save and you get an error 500 page And once this happens the "next" call for even the succesfull pages returns a blank page i.e. go here:
https://dev1.mystudentsprogress.com/testposting/smallform.html and click save No go here again and click save:
https://dev1.mystudentsprogress.com/testposting/smallform.html
...there is nothing in any of the CF logs indicating any kind of errors, it just flat barfs on forms with post method and a large amount of fields, clearly a MAJOR issue as our app has lots ot screens with lots of fields!!

You might investigate the postParametersLimit and postSizeLimit values in your server's neo-runtime.xml file. I suspect you'll need to increase the values for those two settings. Remember to back up this file before making any changes. You will need to restart the CF server to apply any changes made to the settings in this file.

How can I pass a variable to a form to pre-fill form fields on load?

Hi all,
I am developing a Windows Form Applicaiton in C# to register new users and walk them through a signup process.The application does a lot of other things as well. This part of it collects their personal information and saves the data to the database. Part of the process requires the user to complete a pdf form (W-4 tax form). I would like to pre-populate as many form fields as possible for them when the pdf launches, and not have them enter anything to get their data to prefill the form fields.
My issue is I can't figure out how to get the pdf to know who is loading the form so I can do the SQL select and populate the form fields. I need to do a select * from Table where UniqueID="xxxxx" but how can I get the form to know on load what "xxxxx" is so it grabs the users personal info from the database?
I have searched high and low and found nothing on how to do this without doing some hoakey hack outside of the application or pdf doc.
I am creating/editing the form in LiveCycle Designer 8 and am loading the form for use by the user in acrobat 9.
Any help,ideas, or nudging in the right direction would be much appreciated!

I found this solution:
REPORT YRT_TEST4.
data: r_range type range of matnr.
perform test changing r_range.
*& Form test
form test changing p_r_range like r_range.

Forms personalyzation, passing Form field values to SRS concurrent request.

Hi,
Iam calling an SRS from forms personlization. Can any body tell me how to pass the Form field values as parameters to the Reports. (Example when they call this Concurrent request from Transactions screen, The invoice number should be defaulted in the report parameter).
Regards,,
Anil.

Hi,
You can use FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST to submit a concurrent progrm with parameters given.
For example, get the invoice number into v_invoice_no and call a function included code bellow.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(
<app_short_name>,
<concurrent_short_name>,
to_char(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'),
FALSE,
v_invoice_no,chr(0),'','','','','','','','',
'','','','','','','','','','');-- 100 ARGUMENTS FROM THE BEGINNING
Where chr(0) must be the last argument.

Is there a sensible way to import form fields from an old pdf into a new pdf?

I'm working with Acrobat X Pro on a Windows PC platform. I've been working with a file that was originally created in CorelDraw X3, in landscape orientation. That document was then saved as a pdf and set up with many form fields (it's an order form). The document needed to be updated with minor changes made in the Corel file. I resaved as a pdf and now want to transfer the existing form fields from the old document into the newly revised one. I've tried copy/paste, but have to do small sections at a time because the program doesn't let me bring in all of the fields at the same time. I then tried Document > Replace page, which I've seen described in other forum posts; but when I do that, the entire set of fields comes in rotated at 90 degrees counterclockwise. I did read that if the original document was created in a different orientation, that could affect how the fields paste in, but that is not the case here. The original file, and all successive pdf files all have been the same orientation. I'm boggled and think that there has to be an easier way than copying fields, a section at a time, and resizing them all over again.
This older post is pretty similar to what I am trying to do, but it seems I'm getting a different end result. Any suggestions?
Create fillable form with changing source document

I am using Acrobat Pro 10. I have the same problem and finally after numerous different attempts of solving based on all the suggestions, I resolved my problem by Printing to PDF via the print dialog in Word. When I pasted the fields that were previously rotating onto the new "printed" PDf, the fields retained their orientation as desired.
To clarify, I am using Word 2007, Acrobat Pro 10, the document is landscape, both the original (with fields) PDF and all attempted new PDF's were of the diemnsions 11 x 8.5. The only noticeable difference in the PDF properties for the PDF's were Tagged PDF and Fast Web View. The original PDF (with fields) was No in both cases and all attempts other than the Print to PDF were Yes, meaning that the Print to PDF was No. I am not sure if this made the Print to PDF work or not as I have already spent too much time trying to resolves this issue. Hope this helps.

Delete all form fields in one go

Hi
I am using Acrobat X Pro.
While running the accessibility check on my PDF, I got an error that there are many form fields that are not tagged to the structure. When I highlighted the fields, I noticed that all these form fields are redundant and can be safely removed. Is there a way I can remove them in one go for the entire PDF document? I saw that there is page-level deletion option where I need to do a Select All and Delete. But how about entire document level?
Few of my colleagues have Acrobat XI Pro. If this is not possible in X Pro, please let me know we can do it in XI Pro. I can check that out as well.

How to pass Applet form variables without showing it on top ?

What is the best way of doing it ? Need urgent help about it.

Well If you create a POST request instead as a GET request the variables will not show up in the URL.

How do I bring form fields to the front or back?

I have a document with many form fields/push-buttons in order to create pup-up effects in an info graphic.
So I use fields to create a mouse-over hot spot, and others that pop up. Now, of course, the hot spot must be in front (or on top), otherwise it gets distracted in it's mouse-over function by the popped-up object (image) that lays over it. (The result would look like a flashing effect, as you roll over the hot spot.)
Now how do I arrange the fields?? Ich can arrange images and texts to come to the front or hide behind other objects. But in the form field editing mode there is no such option. Also it doesn't work to just cut and paste them, they re-appear in their former position, often behind the other fields.
Please, help! Thanks, Peder

Thanks, I will give it a try. To "recieve the focus" means being activated / hovered?

The tab order effectively sets the z-order, but if a field is not read-only it will be set to the front if it receives the focus.

Form Fields are Inaccessible

I am trying to make a form ADA accessible. The form was created in Word. I set up the preferences in Word to ensure that it was tagged properly. Once in Acrobat X, I used the Forms Wizard to make the form fields interactive. I modified the form fields as needed, corrected the tabbing order and ran the Full Check Accessibility rpt. The rpt tells me that the form fields are inaccessible & need to be tagged. I have tried to tag them using the Reading Order Touch Up tool, but have had spurious results. When I select the field, it appears as if it is creating a tag, but only one has taken and has been numbered. The base doc is one large table and contains up to 9 form fields in one cell. From an accessibility standpoint it appears that Acrobat does not like form fields inside table cells. Am I correct?

I have occasionally encountered a form field that refused to be tagged. The only recourse I have found is to delete the form field and recreate it. In my experience the replacement field could always be tagged. This would be a lot of work though if you are talking about many form fields. If you find an easier way please post it here.
