Passing value from Adobe Interactive form, to the Webdynpro Application

Question

Hi,
I have followed all the tutorials on interactive forms in WD for Java, & am able to successfuly display my context data in an interactive form.
However, i need help with the following:
1. Online scenario:
User has filled details in an interactive form & clicks on the submit button.
The Data from the form is NOT getting passed back to the WebDynpro application.
2. Offline Scenario:
User has filledup a pdf file(form), & has uploaded the form to the webdynpro application, using the file-upload UI element.
How do i read the data that the user has entered in that pdf file?
Any help with regard to these two queries, will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hanoz

Answer 1

1) Online Scenario
check if the context mapping between UI elements and Context is properly done
check if the cardinality of the Context is alright.
2) Offline Scenario
you will have two views.
one upload view
and one interactive form view
in the upload view use the File Upload UI element.
in the Interactive Form View.... use the same view which you used to create the offline form, thus the interactive form UI element will already know the structure of data and the context mapping in the pdf file when you upload it.
Add the following line of code to the
method wdDoInit.
wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute
("pdfObject").getModifiableSimpleTyp
e();
Add the following line of code right
before
wdThis.wdFirePlugOutToDisplay()
in the method onActionShowForm().
wdThis.wdGetTravelRequestCompControl
ler().wdGetContext().currentContextE
lement().setPdfObject(wdContext.curr
entContextElement().getPdfObject());
in the interactive form view, change the property of the interactive form.... MODE to usePdf.
