Posting and saving form data

Before I dive into my first Java project, I would like some advice. I would like to set up a JTabbedPane with two tabs (not a problem). In panel 1, I will have a series of JTextFields for the user to input data (also, not a problem). Then have a button named "Post". The action performed would be to record the user data on a form in panel 2. I also would like to be able to save that historic data to file. In general, what would be the best method to achieve this?? Thanks in advance!!

Depending on whether you need hierachical data or non-hierachial data. XML is best for hierachial data and a property set is best for non-hierachial data.
Consult the API documentation for information on...
XML = javax.xml, org.w3c
Properties = java.util.Properties

  • 2-way binding and saving form data

    Dear All,
    I created a form by dragging the VO in jsp page. Then i updated the value attribute of controls by expression like *value="#{backingBeanScope.generate_backing.body}"* because i want the control to be populated with the inital value when page is loaded.
    so when i click the Submit button the value is not getting inserted in database. This is because i have updated the value attribute of all fields ??. Is there any other way to do this ?
    Please tell me whether i will have to write some code for setting the attributes of EntityImpl on btn click and then commit ? If yes then pls give me some hints or code for accessing the EntityImpl object...
    Or the other way for accomplishing this task...
    -Thanks

    @BaiG,
    I want to create a form with default values in it. But the values comes from querystring so i am using backing bean to set it in value attribute.
    @Frank,
    You actually point it to a managed bean, so the managed bean needs to be updated with the new data. If your intention is to provide a default value then this approach is not correct. Instead you provide the default value on the ViewObject attributehow can i access the backingbean in VO and set the default value for attribute ??

    How can I clear a form after submitting and saving the data in the iOS Acrobat Reader App

    Darrell,
    Thanks for this response. After I posted mine, I saw that the resetForm JavaScript method is documented as being supported starting with version 10.5: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Mobile/js.html
    But I haven't been able to get it to work. Can you clarify if support was indeed added and if it works for you?

  • Automatically Saving Form Data

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a way to automatically save the user input in background while the user is filling forms. I've had cases where the user is filling out large forms and when they accidentally closes the browser without "submitting the form", navigate away from the web page or the browser crashes only to find that all their data is lost. I've noticed if you submit the page without saving the data is cached/saved. I would think a technique to submit the page without the window refresh could work but not sure how that would function in APEX. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    thanks!
    Randy

    You have to work with javascript to do this.
    Register an onchange event to each input field and use an Ajax call to a plsql procedure that saves the item value in session state.
    Use this call:
    APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE (
    p_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
    p_value IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL);
    Create an application process (on demand) that uses this call to save the item value, and call the application process using the url syntax with an Ajax call.
    I prefer using Jquery (See Jquery.com) to do such things, but you can use the Apex library function htmldb_Get to do this too.
    Will this work for you?

  • Saving forms & data

    I'm brand new to designing forms in LifeCycleDesigner 8.0. My form is a simple fill-in and print form. The people using the form will download it, and open it in Adobe Reader. Users will fill this out a couple of times a week. Most of the data will stay the same. I'd like them to be able to save the form with the data on their own system, so when they open it again, the same information is still displayed. However, when I open the form in Adobe Reader, it displays a message that "You cannot save data typed into this form." Is there a way to override that, so the form and the data it contains can be saved on a users computer?

    You will have apply Extended Reader Form Rights. You can use Acrobat 8 or better for forms being distributed to 500 or fewer users or a LiveCycle ES server.

  • Querystring, cookies and saving quiz data

    1 - Is captivate capable of using querystring and/or cookie data inside of the presentation. For example: can we pass in a userid and/or user’s first name into a presentation and have that data used in the presentation.
    2 - Will the technology saves quiz result in a file?
    3 - Can we  associate that querystring data with the quiz data in that file?

    save it how? so that the user can always obtain it? or for your own records? The solution lies in how you need to retain that information.  If it were a quiz of say 5 questions, you can save their answer as cookies.   In html5 if its a form youre devising, their answers can be stored via auto-complete.  If you need those values on your server, then just post them to a server side script.

  • Saving forms data in a text file

    hi guys,
    is it possible to save current forms data in a file just before commiting it into database and flushing out??????
    2ndly is it possible to take out the print of current form without printing its background(canvas or background pics etc) coz its very time consuming & expensive if u simply take out the print of a form while using a Dot-Matrix Printer.

    You can change the background color of the canvas to white before you print:
    Set_canvas_property('CANVAS0',background_color,'r255g255b255');

  • Best practice: Saving form data

    Hello,
    I'm new to the JSP technology.
    To get some experience I built my own little shoutbox "application" where you can insert your name and a message and if you click on "submit" your message appears at the top of the page. Older messages also appear below the new message.
    For this, I created a little JavaBean which handles the entered name and the message. I called this class "Message".
    To read the messages out of the database I created another class (MessageHandler) which returns an ArrayList of objects from the Message class.
    I don't know if I'm doing this the right way, but I use this MessageHandler as a JavaBean so that I can do this:
    <jsp:useBean id="handler" scope="session" class="net.stiefels.myshoutbox.MessageHandler"/>
    <jsp:setProperty name="handler" property="limitMessages" value="2"/>
    <c:forEach items="${handler.messages}" var="msg">
         ${msg.text}<br/>
    </c:forEach>The next step is, "how to save new data?".
    With my current experience in JSP I found this possibility:
    Save the form data in a "Message"-Bean and use a MessageHandler method (e.g. setNewMessage) to save the data in the database. The code would then look like this:
    <jsp:useBean class="net.stiefels.myshoutbox.MessageHandler" id="handler" scope="session"/>
    <jsp:useBean class="net.stiefels.myshoutbox.Message" id="newMessage" scope="page"/>
    <jsp:setProperty name="newMessage" property="*"/>  // save form data
    <jsp:setProperty name="handler" property="newMessage" value="${newMessage}"/>  // save Message-Bean in databaseMy question now is if this way is the normal procedure to save form input in a database?
    If not, which way would be a better one?
    Thanks a lot!
    Simon

    I never use that approach
    Simple pages
    When I submit I have a servlet or Struts action that does the insert and then redirects/forwards to the submitting JSP , this JSP will then requery DB.
    More complex
    Always start with Struts and store all information on the Struts actionform.

  • ITunes 9 - Home Sharing Settings and Saved Game Data?

    The new "Home Sharing Settings" feature to automatically transfer applications from one home computer to another is great. However, it seems like there is a huge omission with this feature if you can't transfer your game settings and saved data when you use this option as a way to change computers to sync an iTouch or iPhone.
    Here's my scenario: originally had iTunes on a Windows PC to purchase and sync up my iTouch. Recently bought another iMac and want to use it as my "master" computer to sync up my iTouch. Used the Home Sharing Settings feature to quickly copy all of my songs (with ratings) and apps from the PC to the Mac. Everything great so far.
    Purchased a few more apps in the iTunes store on the iMac. Plugged in the iTouch to copy the new apps, but of course it wants to delete everything and start over (to be expected I guess). But with that I assume all of my saved game data in my 50+ apps will be lost!
    Any suggestions?

    UPDATE: I've now authorized my laptop with my fiance's itunes account and my personal iTunes account, this is key.
    I'm now able to transfer songs from either her laptop or my iMac (where my music is stored for now) as long as the current logged-in Home Sharing account is active. So it's basically like logging into an ftp server, only one connection allowed at a time.
    So just turn off Home Sharing and then turn it back on again, re-enter the other systems iTunes account info and there you go, you can transfer from that one now. Of course this would be simpler if you were just merging two computers/accounts instead of adding in a 3rd laptop like my experiment. You should just have to make sure all computers involved (up to 5) are authorized for all the iTunes accounts involved.
    And yes using the settings button with in the home sharing window, you should be able to automatically sync any new purchases from the current shared account, music, movies, apps, etc.

  • Saved form data and logins are not sorted alphabetically anymore

    Go to gmail, double click in the "username" field, suggestions appear in a drop down box. If you have more than 1 gmail account they are no longer sorted alphabetically, '''they are sorted by the order entered! '''(with the newest entered on the bottom)
    I believe that this is related to the files formhistory.sqlite and signons.sqlite not being sorted properly.
    Also the addon "Form History Control" will NOT sort these fields alphabetically. Setting browser.formfill.bucketSize to 99999999 or 9999999 in about:config does not work either!

    Thanks for the reply but I have already searched and found that info, it does not work. Firefox is not Web Standard compliant in this regard.

  • Saving Form Data?

    Greetings,
    I am totally new to this and trying to figure out how to save
    data entered in a form when the submit buttom is pressed.
    For the form field, there is "Action" and "Method". What am I
    suppossed to put there?
    Thanks

    I am trying to get the text entered in a form the easiest way
    possible.
    I can't sem to find the "Insert Record Statement". Amd where
    do I insert it?

    There are two methods, GET or POST. GET is usually when you

    (append it to the URL
    in the address bar) while POST is usually used with forms and
    sends the info
    without use of the query string .. forms usually use POST.
    The Action is usually a page that contains the code for
    processing the
    form.. so what are you trying to do?
    If you're saving in a database .. create your form on page 1
    and use the DW
    Insert Record Statement which has an interface that will
    guide you in
    putting the info in the right fields of your database .. then
    you can tell
    it to redirect to Page 2 for a thank you statement or
    whatever.
    If you're sending the info by email then you would put the
    form on page 1,
    make the action of the form Page 2 and have your code for
    sending the mail
    with the data fields on that page. Instructions for that
    portion would be
    dependent on what server model you are using (ASP, Cold
    Fusion, PHP, etc.)
    and what mail components are available on your server.

  • Bulk form creation, merge, and retrieve form data

    I am new to acrobat, and can't even find a place to start for what I want to accomplish.  I have a directory with 1000 single page pdfs (filenames are data_0001.pdf, data_0002.pdf, etc.).
    For every single page pdf, I want to embed a form with a radio button list containing several options and a comment text box.
    Every page needs a unique form ID that can be related to the original single page pdf filename.
    I want to merge all the single page pdf files with the embedded form into a single multi-page pdf.
    A user looks through the multi-page pdf and selects from the radio button and adds comments on every page, and saves the pdf.
    I then want to export from the saved pdf a three column spreadsheet or csv file with columns
    "original pdf filename" "result of radio button list" "comment text box"
    I need to do this at least 100 times, so each stage needs to be scripted.
    Can anyone point to a link for anything remotely close to the work flow steps needed to accomplish this with acrobat.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    You can use a batch process to add the form fields to each PDF. You should make the field names for each page unique, so that when you combine the individual pages into a single PDF, the form will behave properly. You can base the field names in each PDF on the original file name to achieve this. To add field with a script in a batch sequence, use the doc.addField JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.435.html
    You can then combine the single page PDFs with form fields into a single PDF, either using an external script (e.g., VBScript) or a script in Acrobat, but you'd need the list of files to combine, especially if you care about the order of pages. Acrobat also has the "Files > Combine > Merge Files into Single PDF" feature, but I can't say it will work to combine that many forms at once, so you'll just have to see.
    As for exporting data, This too can be scripted. I'd suggest that the script can create the data file that gets added to the document as a file attachment (data object), which can then be extracted. Creating a tab separated text file is simpler than ensuring a properly constructed CSV, so that's what I'd be inclined to do. A user is not able to enter a tab character into a form field, so you shouldn't have a problem with this. See the createDataObject documentation for more information: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.450.html
    Good luck,

  • Saving Form Data From GUI

    I have a GUI which aims to save client's details (Name, Address and Phone No) for an estate agency. There are two types of client: Buyers and Sellers and am trying to get the clients details saved into the appropriate class depending on which client type was selected on the JFrame. I have two packages:
    *uwePropertiesDomain
    *uwePropertiesUInterface
    uwePropertiesDomain contains the following classes:
    *Buyer
    *Seller
    uwePropertiesUInterface contains the following class:
    *uwePropertiesUI
    I have written the following code for the submit button on the JFrame:
    private void submitButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
        if (evt.getSource() == submitButton)
            if (((String)clientTypeBox.getSelectedItem()).equals("Buyer"))
                uwePropertiesDomain.Buyer buyer = new uwePropertiesDomain.Buyer();
                //String[] clientInfo;
                buyer.save(new String[]{nameField.getText() , addressField.getText(), phoneField.getText()});
            else
                uwePropertiesDomain.Seller seller = new uwePropertiesDomain.Seller();
                //String[] clientInfo;
                seller.save(new String[]{nameField.getText() , addressField.getText(), phoneField.getText()});
        } And the following in Buyer/Seller classes:
    String[] clientInfo;    
    public void save(String[] args)
       this.clientInfo = args;
    }This all compiles, however, where is the data saved to? How would I go about searching for a client using their name?

    In your class, define a List such as ArrayList (easier than an array--you don't need to know the number of objects ahead of time).
    List buyerList = new ArrayList();
    List sellerList = new ArrayList();Then, in submitButtonActionPerformed, say:
    uwePropertiesDomain.Buyer buyer = new uwePropertiesDomain.Buyer();
    buyer.save(new String[]{nameField.getText() , addressField.getText(), phoneField.getText()});
    buyerList.add(buyer); // ADD THISAnd similar for seller.
    You may want a Buyer constructor that takes those three values, instead of having to call "save" separately.
    Now, you'll have a list of buyers and sellers, and you can perform searches on them (look up Comparable, redefining .equals/.hashCode, Comparator, etc.).

  • PHP and PDF Forms Data????

    i would like to send the fields of a PDF to a PHP script hosted on my web server. (This can by configuring
    SUBMIT to send the form fields to a URL - ie: www.test.com/parse.php)
    this works, but i am unable to access any of the form fields inside the PHP script.
    are there any examples of how to do this? perhaps there is some undocumented
    environment variable that can give me a handle to the data structures that contain
    the form field data.
    help please!!!
    rob

    I think that the license may allow you to submit the data and create a new PDF with that data for use by the user. Be sure to read the license carefully. The tools to do this would be the FDF Toolkit for AcroForms (not those from Designer). You can probably do the same thing with Designer. In any case, you are probably talking about some programming.

    Hi Steffen,
    You should go to user manegment and there you should export you'll have to copy the text file it will create than paste it in the import of the other portal it should copy the users and the groups.
