Reading form data

Hi all,
I just started working on JSF.
I have a simple application with one user input form with 5 input fields. I have created a managed bean.
When the user hits the insert button i need to read the input field values and insert a record in the database.
<h:commandButton action="#{dataController.insertRecord}" value="Insert" />
how to pass the form input values to the insertRecord method.
Managed bean has these values. But i am not sure how to access this bean.
Thanks
Aadil

Just write code logic in the insertRecord() method accordingly. There in you just have instant access to the input values (assuming that those are just properties of the dataController managed bean, e.g. <h:inputText value="#{dataController.inputValue}" /> ).
This is in fact JSF 101. I highly recommend to go through a decent book/tutorial on that subject.

How do i read form data into subject lines of email?

I'm having a problem pulling form data and putting it in the subject line of my email.
"mailto:[email protected]?subject=Formform form+ F_Name.rawValue + L_Name.rawValue";
I thought this would read text fields from the form and print them in my subject line. Instead it tprints it without the data.
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right directon on what i am doing wrong.
Button2.event__click.submit.target "mailto:[email protected]?subject=Formform form" + F_Name.rawValue + L_Name.rawValue;
Button2.execEvent("click");
Any help would be appreciated.
jj
Also if anyone would happen to know if there is a way to bypass the two email prompts and choose to directly send it using the users local email client would help or maybe its impossible.

Button2.event__click.submit.target ="mailto:xxxxx.com?subject=FORM Form Form for " + topmostSubform.firstName.value;
Can i use rawValue or value like this? Right after i put anything after those quotation marks that aren't more quotatin marks my button stops workin.

Reading form data using javascript

Hello.
I want to go over the data received from the context to the PDF file using JavaScript, without binding it to any elements on the form.
How can I access the data?
I've tried using xfa.data or xfa.dataset, but didn't manage to get to it.
How can it be done?
Thanks.

The following applies if it's a PDF generated from ABAP :
Let's say a simple type parameter from context is named EBELN. To get it from javascript, you must use :
$data.data.EBELN.value
or
$record.EBELN.value
(it's the same)
For example, to display the value, use:
xfa.host.messageBox( $data.data.EBELN.value );
Edited by: Sandra Rossi on Jan 28, 2009 7:34 PM : added $record line

Reading html data & uploading a file in single html form using htp package

I have to validate all forms data like text items and check box elements and upload file to unix. I am using java script for file validations and cgi script to upload file. With this I am able to either read form data or upload file but not both.
At a time I want to insert a record to database with html form values and upload file to unix with htp package. Please suggest how can I read html form data + uploading a file to unix simultaneously in a single htp procedure.
Thanks,

Have you ever considered using Application Express (APEX)?

Sounds like you're going the long way around to create a web based application.

Use Adobe Reader to Save Form Data

I use Acrobat 8 Professional to create several forms and enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader so that my users can save the form data locally using Adobe Reader 7 or higher. My questions are: (1.)Is there a limit to saving the form data? For example, the form can only be save 500 times per form or is it unlimited. (2.)If there is a limit to saving the form like 500 times, can the same form be recreated and the limit of 500 starts all over again? (3.)Do I need to purchase a license to save these form data? (4.)How many forms can have enable usage rights in Adobe Reader per Adobe Acrobat professional? The reason why i'm asking these questions is because I want to be in compliance with the Adobe license. My users don't have Adobe Acrobat Professional, but would like to use Adobe Reader to save the form data.

>(1.)Is there a limit to saving the form data?
It is my understanding that you can harvest data from a form 500 times whether that be from one user of 500 users.
>(2.)If there is a limit to saving the form like 500 times, can the same form be recreated and the limit of 500 starts all over again
You'd probably be walking on thin ice by trying that. Could be a loophole but maybe not.
>(3.)Do I need to purchase a license to save these form data?
Not if you stay within the limit that is stated in the EULA.
>(4.)How many forms can have enable usage rights in Adobe Reader per Adobe Acrobat professional?
Different forms? As far as I know there is no limit to the amount of different forms you use.
In my opinion, if you think you are going to go anywhere near the limitations of the EULA, consult with your attorney before proceeding. The form enabling function was never intended for large business use. Adobe has another, more costly, solution for that.

Reading form file data in servlet

Does anyone have any familiarity with reading data posted by a form such as the following in a servlet:
<form method="post" action="load_user_file">
Label: <input type="text" name="label" size="20"><br>
Data to be sent: <input type="file" enctype="multipart/form-data" size="50"><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit">
</form>
I would really prefer to get the label data in the "usual way," through the request parameters, but failing that, some way to parse the information "automatically" would be good.
Thanks in advance for any help!

the best resource will be to look at MultipartRequest class which can be found at

How to save form data as XML using Reader XI

Dear all,
I have designed a form using live cycle designer 9 and activated the form extensions using Acrobat X Pro.
The form includes an email send button.
Our clients uses the Reader X and XI.
Using Reader X the pressing of the button will open a dialog box asking the user to send the form/form data using the default email client
OR
one can save the form data as xml file on the local machine and attach it later.
However, using Reader XI there is no such possibility of saving the data as XML. One can just chose between the default email client or another email account.
I tried even a button using javascript xfa.host.exportData("",0); but nothing. In fact the button shows no function at all.
What do I wrong?
Does anybody has a hint please?
Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty impressed of Adobe and their stuff (I do NOT refer to the community), how helpful they are.
Perhaps I didn't understand the meaning on the offical customer support website, stating:

Even worst, their is a similar question from 25/09/2013 (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5711946#5711946) and no feedback form Adobe stuff at all.
Great service guys!
Thanks a lot!

Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover file?

Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover filled form with data from temp locations?
I was not aware that ctrl+s no longer works in reader and closed the PDF after savign it(with ctrl+s). However ,the data is lost and there seems to be no way to recover it.
I cannot find any temp files created by Reader on my system.
Also to my surprize(and shock), the reader did not even show a warning before closing the PDF. Does anybody know if/where can I recover the file from?
Guys, Please reply ASAP if you have got any sort of solution!

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

Reader 9 is not displaying existing form data.

Hello,
We have a series of files that were created using a form designed in Acrobat 7.0. When we open any of the files with Reader 7.0 we can see the form data that was entered, but when we open the same files with Reader 9 the data is not displayed.
Does anyone know how to correct this?

Reader 5.1 DOES save form data. But where??

I have used Reader 5.1 for the past couple of years to fill in some forms. It will save the filled-in data when the form is closed despite the fact that's it's apparently not supposed to be able to (and save as, email, etc. all indicate that the data would be lost because I'm not allowed to edit the file). I always assumed it was in the pdf, but this year, I noticed something odd: I had to fill in two copies of the form with different data. After filling it in once, I copied the pdf and overwrote all the data in the fields with the new data. Now, whenever either one is opened, the first data displays briefly and is then overwritten with the second data.
So...
The data is saved when it can't be.
This version of Reader doesn't even support saving the data, but it's saved anyway.
Data that was typed into one shows up in both.
Reader is not actually installed, but only extracted from the archive (works fine this way and doesn't muck my system up as much) so I can remove it when done (I use Foxit for all other pdfs).
Finally, the saved data will eventually disappear but the length of time appears to be volatile.
The form in question is an Alabama tax form if that helps (download link can be provided if you want it).
I want to separate the two lists of data and actually save it somewhere but I have no idea where it's saved. I believe the pdf got bigger after I added data but the modification date is unchanged, nothing obvious shows up when it's loaded into notepad and that doesn't explain how the second data showed up in the first file.
Help???

Thanks George. Unfortunatly, Enable Additional Features does not limit them to just editing form data. It also gives them the rights to use commenting and drawing tools. Looking to give people ONLY rights to edit and save form data. If that is possible. It'sa legal thing, we don't want them to be able to mark it up with comments.
Anybody know if this even can be done with Acrobat X Pro?

Importing XML form data, and reading a PDF form in Reader

The title pretty much says it all. My colleagues have the latest in Adobe Reader (9). They would like to import the form data that they receive in their email as an xml attachment. They would like to read the form as it is filled out in their reader.
Please tell me how.

I think they have to have Acrobat to import the data. Reader was not meant to keep data for the user unless Reader Right's are enabled (limited use of form for this typically). The US gov't has done this for years for tax forms at a substantial cost I am sure. The Reader Right's that comes in Acrobat is limited to the number of uses of the form, but the full rights can be negotiated with Adobe for more than 500 uses.
The answer used to be to buy your colleagues Acrobat, it would be cheaper than paying the additional enabling cost. With the limited use of the rights with the current versions, Adobe has made a compromise on there old policy. You might look at PlanetPDF to see if there are some third party applications that would meet your need.

Tabular Form Read Only Date Picker

Hello,
I have two or three Items with date pickers and do not want to implement
this code because it will be too many buttons on my form. I need to clear one item
at a time when the datepicker is readonly but, in a tabular form.
function f_clear_items()
    {$x('P1_ITEMA').value = ''};
    {$x('P1_ITEMB').value = ''};
    }Then once I create a url button and pass this function I can clear the datepicker's. But, I
was wondering is there a cleaner way to this.
I have other items on the page that are named the same but, in different tables. I only want
to clear each date picker item at a time. This code works fine for a regular form.
-Element Post Element Text for the Item to Clear
a href="javascript:setValue('P1_ITEMA','');">Clear Date</aThere is a thread named 'How to clear a read only page Item...?' that states how this code works but, does not
work for a tabular form in a Master Detail page. There is a link on side the Date Picker to clear item specified but, in a tabular form Item, there is no Element tab, any ideas on how to clear a readonly date picker item using a tabular form
and not using a button for each item, thanks in advance. I am using Application Express 3.2.0.00.27.

Dan,
I totally understand your point of view. So, this tabular form aspect was not tested once the Clear Date link was discovered to clear a Read Only date field. Yes, using a button to clear a date is great but, I do not want to clear every date or specified item with the click of one button for this application. It is very useful but, not for my needs at the moment.
Basically, if a date is selected and it needs to be cleared out you can just delete the value. But, if the date is readonly you can not clear/delete the date value unless you have the Clearing functionality for a particular item using the datepicker. It may not be worth the trouble Dan like you state by adding this extra code to the calender. If an invalid date is entered an error will appear anyway.
Thanks alot Dan for expanding my mind and showing me some JQuery and providing me with this link to do some further research if needed, thanks again.
