Uploading a form with document using resource template

Hi,
I'm moving a system from Portal to Apex. The system has a number of "procedure pairs", one procedure printing a form and the other being the "action" of the form. Mod_plsql would handle the file uploaded and the action procedure would be aclled with the file name and all meta data.
A resource template seem to be able to handle this.
So I have created a POST method, pl/sql type handler called upload (that's the whole template).
I have the :contentType and :body working, my problem is the meta data (other fileds in the form).
My form looks like this:
<form name="kr_form" action= "http://<server>/apex/upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<input name="p_filename" type="file" size="20"><br>
<input name="p_title" id="p_title" type="text" size="20"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>
How am I to access p_title in my handler?
I've tried adding a parameter without success. My form is much like the image gallery sample but I cant get it to work.
I tried setting enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" in the form but that got me Internal Server Error.
I would also like to get the file name of the submitted file (like "cat.gif"). Is this possible?
Kind regards
Tomas

Hi Colm,
unfortunately the server is not available today (Friday). The upload template is much like the image gallery sample. From my memory:
URI: upload
Method: Post
Type: pl/sql
Parameters: just the two header params, status and location, as in image gallery
:body (the blob) and :contentType work. Form fields above/before the type="file" field work. Fields below/after give me null values in the block.
Setting :status or :location gives me a web page with just "Not found". I tried :location := 'http://www.google.com'.
I have an exception handler in my block and it's not caught there. I don't know where to look for details.
This is the only template I intend to have. I'm assuming it doesn't matter how the form is created, as long as it's "correct".
After the file is saved in my table (and this part works) I just want to redirect to an Apex page that confirms the upload.
I'm only trying to use a resource template because having a pl/sql procedure as the action of a form (with a file) under the Apex Listener does not seem to work.
It seems the problem is that the listener doesn't have an application id in that case. As I said yesterday, if I could somehow specify an app id to the listener my problems would be solved.
Kind regards
Tomas

Merge LiveCycle Form with XML using JAVA

Hello.
I am trying to find out how to merge non-interactive form with XML (using JAVA) so the users can see the final output form with the data filled in.
What are my choices..?
So far, I have created the interactive forms as template using LiveCycle 8 and wrote ASP.NET code to extract data and store it in SQL database when the user fill out and submit the form.
It works great but another agency wants to access the form as well.
They told us that they will create the XML themselves from the database, so they just need to combine the form with XML to display it (non-interactive form).
They want to use JAVA but I am not sure how to do that...
Any suggestion?

Assuming that you start with XML in an org.w3c.dom.Document that stores the XML data. Before you can merge it into a form, you have to convert it to a com.adobe.idp.Document object. TO convert a org.w3c.dom.Document to a com.adobe.idp.Document object -- use the following Java code:
private Document convertDataSource(org.w3c.dom.Document myDOM)
byte[] mybytes = null;
try
//Create a Java Transformer object
TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transForm = transFact.newTransformer();
//Create a Java ByteArrayOutputStream object
ByteArrayOutputStream myOutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
//Create a Java Source object
javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource myInput = new DOMSource(myDOM);
//Create a Java Result object
javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult myOutput = new StreamResult(myOutStream);
//Populate the Java ByteArrayOutputStream object
transForm.transform(myInput,myOutput);
// Get the size of the ByteArrayOutputStream buffer
int myByteSize = myOutStream.size();
//Allocate myByteSize to the byte array
mybytes = new byte[myByteSize];
//Copy the content to the byte array
mybytes = myOutStream.toByteArray();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("The following exception occurred: "+e.getMessage());
//Create a com.adobe.idp.Document object and copy the
//contents of the byte array
Document myDocument = new Document(mybytes);
return myDocument;
THen you can merge myDocument into the Form using renderPDFFOrm:
FormsResult formOut = formsClient.renderPDFForm(
formName, //formQuery
myDocument, //inDataDoc
pdfFormRenderSpec, //PDFFormRenderSpec
uriValues, //urlSpec
fileAttachments //attachments
Hope this helps!

If you need to control height and width of your uploaded images, then you must use the APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC function. Please refer to this documentation:

Populate object form with already provsioned resource object's data

OIM Version:
9102 BP19
Scenario:
We have to pre-populate resource object (ModifyObject) form fields with already provisioned resource object (ProvisionedObject) form fields which can be multi-instance resource.
This provided data will be used modify the already Provisioned resource object data (same ProvisionedObject). And this needs to be handled with approval workflow.
Approach:
We will use selected ProvisionedObject’s process instance key on web page in resource object pre-populate adapters. And using that process instance key we will fetch already provisioned resource (ProvisionedObject) object’s data.
Issue:
Not sure how can we pass the process instance key from WEB_PAGE to OIM_RESOURCE_OBJECT’s pre-populate adapter.
Any pointers towards the solution will be appreciated.

My suggestion is...
At the time of raising the request, use userKey and in the code use getObjects() to retrieve the provisioned resource object information. Here you can retrieve Process Instance Key of the Provisioned resource and then retrieve the process data. So at this point you will have all the required data of the provisioned resource which can be returned to the object form field.
This is one approach. Experts may throw more pointers.

Using iPlanet Web Server 6.0 (with ASP or JSP), is it possible to create a StarOffice, Word or Acrobat document using a template and merging it with data from a database (say Oracle)?

Hi,
It is possible, But it has to be done through codes and iPlanet Web Server has nothing to do with it. But if you want to create the word document by ASP you have to install ASP plugin like ChilliASP (from Chilisoft) with iPlanet Web Server.Merging with database can be done through your code.

Multiple file upload in jsp with out using �FILE� type filed.

I have an applet that is used for multiple file selection, It allows drag and drop functionality also. The problem is once the user selects multiple files it has to get uploaded to the server. Since it�s not part of a file type component while submitting the form we won�t get the file contents.
We can use multipart api for uploading files, but if the file selected by the user is not by the file type filed the file contents won�t come as part in the jsp submission and I can�t assign the file names selected by the user through the applet to any FILE (hidden ) type in jsp .
Please give a solution�

We can use multipart api for uploading files, but if the file selected by the user is not by the file type filed the file contents wont come as part in the jsp submission and I cant assign the file names selected by the user through the applet to any FILE (hidden ) type in jsp .Well i think thats a wrong notion which you have...
you can very well get non-file type field data & file item data from a multipart form.
Anyways,Letz checkout a simple example(refer to the below Code-snippet down below) which can do that task for us and it uses commons-fileupload & commons-io libraries.

NOTE:* Do not forget to add latest versions of commons-fileupload.jar & commons-io.jar in your classpath.You might get few warings due some issues with regards to generics please neglect them.
and it is not certain that you ought to use commons libraries for this there are many other alternative solutions available by which you can implement a similar functionality.
Hope this might help !!! if that does do not forget to assign/share duke dollars which you have promised :)

Fill a pdf form with data using Java code

Hi,
Modern formats of Acrobat ".pdf" files allows to define form fields.
I have a datasource, let's say in a database.
I want to fill my ".pdf" with my database-stored data automatically, and want to write Java code for that.
1. What is the best way to achieve this ?
2. Is it necessary to install Acrobat Distiller server and if so what web services should I invoke ? Where is the doc ?
3. Are there efficient Java libraries to do so ?
Thank you for helping... As ever, this is kind of an emergency case
Have a good day.
Phil

Take a look at the FDF Toolkit for Java:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/fdftoolkit.html
That will allow you to, through Java, construct an FDF that contains all your form data. You then add a reference to your "template" PDF file in the FDF as well and send the FDF to the client. Acrobat will open the FDF, see the reference to the PDF, open the PDF and then merge any data contained in the FDF with the PDF.

How to Embed HTML into a Infopath form with out using the custom code???

Hi ,
This my first post in MSDN, so kindly ignore if there is any faults/mistakes.
scenario:
I am updating a HyperLink(url) to an infopath Field (Such as Rich text box /Label) from a third party workflow(Nintex),it is not able to embed the html data .is it possible to embed html controls like <a> and <Br> tags in the infopath form?????

The InfoPath form can be configured to export some of the fields as columns... by doing so, the workflow can simply update the list item's metadata, and the value is pushed into the InfoPath form data.

Material BOMs with document items using RCSBI010

Has anyone uploaded material BOMs with document items using RCSBI010? I set the item category to D, but receive an error in LSMW when I attempt to convert the data. The error specifies that the document items are not valid material numbers. They are not material numbers. They are document info records.

Found the problem. The document number was being mapped to BOM Component IDNRK instead of document number DOKNR.

Could not parse well-formed HTML 4.01/XHTML 1.0 document using JDOM

Hi All,
I am having difficulty reading two well-formed HTML document using JDOM when running offline (not on the Internet). The first few lines of these documents are listed below:

The Java snippets that references these documents (local files) is as follows:
1      public static void main(String[] argv)
2       {
3            File zipcodefile = new File("C:\\TEMP\\Zipcodes Listing for California.txt"); // former
4            //                                                     or
5            File zipcodefile = new File("C:\\TEMP\\Zipcodes Listing for California - 93545 - Los Angeles, CA.txt"); // later
6            try
7            {
8                SAXBuilder saxBuilder=new SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
9                // saxBuilder.setValidation(false);
10              org.jdom.Document doc = saxBuilder.build(zipcodefile);
11              System.out.println(doc.getContent());
12              System.out.println(doc.getDocType());
13              ....( i ) This program would does not work even while it was running on-line (has Internet access). The execution process would exit on line 10 but not sure whether it completes it or not. Don't understand why though?
( ii ) What is the difference between the two files as far as the format goes? I thought HTML 4.01 is equivalent to XHTML 1.0? In other word, they are already well-formatted and so they can be parse directly by an XML parser such as Xerces. In other word, it is not necessary to use tool such as Tidy to convert to clean up missing tags?
( iii ) why are the tags in the former file in capital? Do parsers in general distinguish tags in capital compared to lower case?
I am very new to XML parsing and would appreciate some guidances.
Thanks a lot,
Jack

34             System.out.println(document.getContent());
35             System.out.println(document.getDocType());
The output from running ZipcodeTidy2JDomParser is:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Zipcodes Listing for California.txt. (The system cannot find the file specified)

Could any see where this issue is coming from?
The author of the same thread suggest that line 5 should add an extra parameter (SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder(false, "http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"). However, the SAXBuilder constructor does not accept the second paramter. Any ideas?

How do I use infopath 2013 with visual studio 2013 to modify forms with code?

Dear all,
I am using sharepoint online and infopath 2013, I wonder how do I edit infopath 2013 forms with visual studio? When I try to edit form code it says I need visual studio 2012 and some other tools, I installed them and visual studio 2013, I wonder how
do I get rid of the message and start coding? Can someone provide a detailed procedure of doing so? I am having trouble with creating multiple items with single infopath form with repeating table on sharepoint online. Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create InfoPath form with code using Visual Studio.
More information about develop InfoPath form with Visual Studio:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee526362(v=office.15).aspx

For the second question, I suggest you can create another post , it will be easier for others to focus on one question in one thread.
Best regards

Adobe Muse form with 3rd party host is not working

I have uploaded a form with Adobe Muse to a 3rd party host. Upon testing the link scripts/form_check.php, I see 3 green checkmarks. Upon testing the form, the form appears to submit successfully, however I never receive the email.
I checked with the hosting company and this is what they said:
...this form is using localhost smtp of webserver which was stopped due to spamming issues...actually, localhost doesn't have proper rDNS record and the return path for all mails is the server itself, so whenever a client uses its domain for spamming the server's mail queue gets choked and creates issues for others. So we generally do not open localhost smtp and recommend users to use proper SMTP Authentication so that each mail will be delivered and won't create issues for server even if someone does spamming because in that case all mails will bounce back to the mailbox. So, we recommend you to use smtp authentication in the form and use proper smtp details to send mail.
Please provide a recommendation on what I should do to resolve this? Is there a way to modify the form so that it uses proper SMTP Authentication instead of Localhost?
