web api

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 19:01:49 GMT

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone has tried to get LiveCycle Designer to work with webAPI instead of web services. If you do, can you please share your experience? Thanks in advance.

DirectoryManagerServiceClient updateLocalUser Error

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 19 Aug 2014 15:35:10 GMT

ALC Version: ALC ES2.5

The class DirectoryManager has a method called uploadLocalUser. I created a DSC in java and deployed into ALC. There were no error or warnings.

The class is defined here:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/11.0/ProgramLC/javadoc/com/adobe/idp/um/api/Director yManager.html#updateLocalUser(com.adobe.idp.um.api.infomodel.User, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

The method is defined this way:

void updateLocalUser(User updatedUser,

                     java.lang.String oldPassword,

                     java.lang.String newPassword)

                     throws UMException

This is the code I'm using:

public boolean ChangePassword(java.lang.String userOID,java.lang.String oldPassword,java.lang.String newPassword){

try

{

ServiceClientFactory myFactory = ServiceClientFactory.createInstance();

DirectoryManagerServiceClient dmClient = new DirectoryManagerServiceClient(myFactory);

PrincipalSearchFilter psf = new PrincipalSearchFilter();

psf.setPrincipalOid(userOID);

List<User> principalList = dmClient.findPrincipals(psf);

Iterator<User> pit = principalList.iterator();

if(pit.hasNext()){

User theUser = pit.next();

dmClient.updateLocalUser(theUser,oldPassword,newPassword);

return true;

}

return false;

}

catch(Exception e)

{

e.printStackTrace();

return false;

}

When executed, the code gives the following error:

2014-08-18 17:55:38,973 ERROR [org.jboss.ejb.plugins.LogInterceptor] TransactionRolledbackLocalException in method: public abstract void com.adobe.idp.um.businesslogic.directoryservices.DirectoryServicesManager.updateLocalUser (com.adobe.idp.um.api.infomodel.impl.UserImpl,java.lang.String) throws com.adobe.idp.common.errors.exception.IDPException,com.adobe.idp.common.errors.exception.

Can you tell us where is the problem with this API function? is it the code?...

Thank you very much.

StreamServe: xdp + --> pdf

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 19:58:24 GMT

We have on the Adobe LiveCycle LCPP product installed. We want to use .NET to merge an xdp and xml file to create a pdf. This URL makes us wonder if we can do this with our existing software.The URL shows this service call

outputClient.Endpoint.Address =

new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress("http://172.20.148.143:8080/soap/services/OutputService?blob=mtom");

The question is what Adobe product exposes this "Outputservice"?

Soap, submit formdata

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 26 Jun 2014 16:14:10 GMT

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to submit a task and the related data to ALC using Soap, from an external application, to implement HTML/Angular Forms in ALC ES3, but can not find any doc nor any info about what service to invoke...

I've tried to use ProcessManagementTaskService, which seems to be the one invoked when a Flex form is submitted in the workspace, but can not get it work (I get a nullpointerexception on backend side, which, after some decompiling, seems to be caused by a lack of flex session... see ProcessManagementTaskServiceImpl on line 1090, it invokes FlexContext.getHttpRequest, which I bet is null at this point (but that may be the session as well)).

See that decompiled code:

  private TaskItemResult callSubmitService(String taskId, int formIndex, com.adobe.idp.Document doc)
    throws ProcessManagementException
  {
    if (doc == null) {
      return null;
    }
    long start = ProcessManagementUtils.getCurrentTime();
    try
    {
      long tid = Long.parseLong(taskId);


      HttpServletRequest request = FlexContext.getHttpRequest();






      request.getSession().setAttribute("prepared_taskId", ""); // ******* line 1090 -> NPE


      Map inputMap = new HashMap();
      Map httpHeaders = new HashMap();




      String environmentBuffer = (String)doc.getAttribute("environment");
      String userAgent = (String)doc.getAttribute("userAgent");
      inputMap.put("targetUrl", getTargetUrl());
      inputMap.put("relativeTargetUrl", "/rest/services/ProcessManagementDocumentHandlingService.submit");
      inputMap.put("environmentBuffer", environmentBuffer);
      inputMap.put("userAgent", userAgent);
      inputMap.put("acrobatVersion", (String)request.getSession().getAttribute("acrobatVersion"));
      inputMap.put("acroClientType", (String)request.getSession().getAttribute("acroClientType"));
      inputMap.put("pm:callingApplication", "pm:workspace");


      Enumeration headerNames = request.getHeaderNames();
      while (headerNames.hasMoreElements()) {
        String headerName = (String)headerNames.nextElement();
        httpHeaders.put(headerName, request.getHeader(headerName));
      }


      httpHeaders.put("accept-language", (String)request.getSession().getAttribute("Accept-Language"));
      inputMap.put("httpHeaders", httpHeaders);


      TaskManager tm = TaskManagerClientFactory.getTaskManager(ProcessManagementUtils.getServiceClientFactory());


      FormServiceInvokeResponse response = null;
      long innerStart = ProcessManagementUtils.getCurrentTime();
      try
      {
        response = tm.callSubmitService(tid, 0L, doc, inputMap);
      }
      catch (TaskManagerException e) {
        String msg = ProcessManagementUtils.formatMessage("ALC-WKS-005-029", new Object[] { taskId });
        throw new ProcessManagementException(msg, e);
      }
      catch (RuntimeException e) {
        String msg = ProcessManagementUtils.formatMessage("ALC-WKS-005-029", new Object[] { taskId });
        throw new ProcessManagementException(msg, e);
      }


      ProcessManagementUtils.traceTime(this, timeLogger, "submit.tm.callSubmitService", innerStart, Level.FINER);


      TaskItemResult results = new TaskItemResult();
      populateTaskItemResult(results, response);
      FormInstance _formInstanceReturned = tm.getEmptyForm();


      _formInstanceReturned.setDocument(response.getResultingDocument());


      innerStart = ProcessManagementUtils.getCurrentTime();
      try
      {
        Object successSubmit = results.getMap().get("success");
        Object renderAgain = results.getMap().get("newRender");


        tm.setParticipantIPAddress(ProcessManagementUtils.getClientIPAddress(request));


        if ((successSubmit != null) && (renderAgain != null)) {
          if ((renderAgain.toString().compareTo("false") == 0) && (successSubmit.toString().compareTo("true") == 0)) {
            tm.save(tid, _formInstanceReturned);
          }
        }
        else
          tm.save(tid, _formInstanceReturned);
      }
      catch (TaskManagerException e) {
        String msg = ProcessManagementUtils.formatMessage("ALC-WKS-005-029", new Object[] { taskId });
        throw new ProcessManagementException(msg, e);
      }
      catch (RuntimeException e) {
        String msg = ProcessManagementUtils.formatMessage("ALC-WKS-005-029", new Object[] { taskId });
        throw new ProcessManagementException(msg, e);
      }
      finally
      {
        jsr 6; } ProcessManagementUtils.traceTime(this, timeLogger, "submit.tm.save", innerStart, Level.FINER); ret;




      return results;
    }
    finally
    {
      ProcessManagementUtils.traceTime(this, timeLogger, "submit", start, Level.FINER);
    }
  }

Then, I tried to invoke TaskManagerService, but I can't get it work too / doesn't seem to be the right service...

Can anybody shed some light on this?

Thanks you very much in advance!

Image not displayed in pdf generated using Java API for Forms service

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 18 Apr 2014 09:52:15 GMT

Hi,

I am creating a pdf document using Java API for Forms Service.

I am able to generate the pdf but the images are not visible in the generated pdf.

The image relative path is coming in the xml as defined below. The images are stored dynamically in the Livecycle repository each time a request is fired with unique name before the xml is generated.

<imageURI xfa:contentType="image/png" href="../Images/logo.png"></imageURI>

Not sure if I need to specify specify specific URI values that are required to render a form with image.

The same thing is working when I generate pdf document using Java API for Output Service.

As, I need to generate interactive form, I have to use Forms service to generate pdfs.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Is there an SOAP API for the ProcessManagementDocumentHandlingService?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 30 Apr 2014 17:31:19 GMT

Looking at the build-in Adobe services, this one only appears to have a rest API.

It it possible to enable/add SOAP for this service?

Is there an SOAP API for the forms manager?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 19:53:04 GMT

How to get PDF and Signature from submitted xdp form?

I created a form in Designer with a Signature field and a 'Submit XDP' button. I invoke the FormsServiceClient.processformSubmission() method to process the submitted form into a FormsResult object. Then I'm able to call getOutputContent() to get the xml data. I see that there is a getAttachments() method also in FormsResult. Is this what I use to get the PDF object and the digital signature? If so, can someone tell me what exactly to do after calling getAttachments to get the signature and the PDF?

Unable to get renderPDFForm() function on FormsService - Rendering on ASP.NET Applications

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 07:31:08 GMT

Hello,

We are trying to acheive the following(Attached full PDF)

A user requests that the loan application be rendered to the web browser.
The ASP.NET application invokes the Forms ES service using a web service and renders an interactive form to the client web browser.
After the user fills the loan form and clicks the submit button, data is submitted back to the ASP.NET application. The ASP.NET application processes the form submission and retrieves form data (the data that the user entered into the form).
A confirmation form is rendered back to the web browser. Data such as the user’s first and last name is merged with the form before it is rendered.

We have installed

1. Adobe LiveCycle designer ES 4.

2. Also we have installed Adobe LiveCycle work bench.

But we are unable to create the Formservice.cs Also we dont have the methods and properties such as renderPDFForm(parameters) etc..

can anyone help us on getting this done?

UserManagement / Authorization API: Create role => Missing role id in database

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 15:51:59 GMT

Hello all,

As part of LiveCycle evaluation, I am trying to create roles automatically via the API. On the first invocation, the role gets created. For subsequent runs, I want to check that the role does not exist prior to creating it and thus I use the findRoles() api with a RoleSearchFilter:

RoleSearchFilter rsf = new RoleSearchFilter();

// rsf.setMatchExactCriteria(false);

rsf.setRoleId(roleName);

// rsf.setRoleName(roleName);

// rsf.setRoleType(RoleSearchFilter.ROLE_TYPE_ALL);

// rsf.setResultsMax(1000);

List<RoleImpl> foundRoles = amClient.findRoles(rsf); // amClient = AuthorizationManagerServiceClient instance

But the filter run never returns anything. Also, I have to force the roleId criteria otherwise LiveCycle complains: 'key must not be null'. Inspecting the database (EDCPRINCIPALENTITY table), I see that the created role has a null value for the canonical_name field (which apparently maps the role id in the principal's table).

If I update this field for testing, then the filter works.

So now: What can I do to fix this ? I would like to forcefully update the created role by setting the canonical name (via the principal api) but there's no such "update" API.

Any idea? The issue is that any call to role / permissions lookup APIs fails (I guess because of not finding the role in the first place). For example: amClient.getAllRolePermissions(roleId)

Exclude some pages from numbering in DDX

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:06:09 GMT

Hi,

I have a need to exclude certain pages/documents from displaying the page number in an assembled document.

For example, if there are 10 documents that i'm assembling together, a few documents in between should not have the Page numbers in the Footer.

i.e. if these 10 documents contribute to a total of 20 pages, currently it displays as Page 1 of 20, Page 2 of 20 etc.

If i do not want say about 5 pages to display the number, it should display as Page 1 of 15, Page 2 of 15, followed by the 5 pages that do not have the page numbers, and then remaining pages like Page 3 of 15 etc.

Currently we use DDX Footer tags like "<_PageNumber/> of <_LastPageNumber/>".

Below is a sample DDX that we use.

Please assist me on this.

Sample DDX:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

<Right>

</p>

</StyledText>

</Right>

</Footer>

<p>

<b>DRAFT</b>

</p>

</StyledText>

</Watermark>

</PDF>

</DDX>

We are using the Rights management service successfully when working with policies etc but when we try to return data by consuming the 'searchForEvents' method using the sample code which matches yours - all we get returned is an empty object. We can use the same criteria to export a test file by consuming the service 'exportevents' and the contents of the text file are as expected.

Its a bit strange and I'd be interested to know if anyone has used this successfully.

What is Corresponding Java API Object for Task Result Collection?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 17 May 2013 15:44:32 GMT

Hello,

I have been creating junit test cases for adobe livecycle services, for both short and long lived processes. (Yes, I have automated an entire complex workflow from start to finish).

There seems to be an object in the adobe livecycle java api that corresponds to the data type in the workflows (e.g. document -> java Document, User -> java User)

Is there a corresponding object available in the adobe livecycle java api for the Task Result Collection datatype?

Thanks,

Check-In, Check-Out, Deploy APIs

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 14 May 2013 13:48:56 GMT

Hi,

In our application, when moving from development over to QA and then over to prod, we keep having to update IPs in our forms in order for them to be able to call the web services in their respective environments. I'm hoping to create a LiveCycle process that will automate all that. My idea is to have an execute script which would check-out the resources, update their IPs (I have this part already), check-in the files and redeploy the application. I can't seem to find how to do this programmatically. There must be some web service or API on the server since workbench is able to do all of this.

Perhaps this is not the best solution for what I am trying to accomplish, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Dear All,

Could you please let me know

I’ve installed LiveCycle data service for Java (v 4.7 windows) and Flex builder(Trial version). After I installed this I don’t find lcd.war file which is supposed to be under Tomcat data service installation directory. I can see dataservice-samples.war, ds-consol.war etc under TomcatàWebapps. Is it because of trial version? If yes, can you please send via email ?

Custom DSC can't find exception class, error about export-packages

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 13 May 2013 21:34:33 GMT

I've got a DSC which has a method that can throw two custom exceptions. It all works, and the exceptions show up available for handling in a process in Workbench, but the issue here is that the server.log has this error:

2013-05-13 16:59:35,353 WARN [com.adobe.workflow.AWS] An exception has been thrown for which the class information has not been exported in the service's export-packages, it is essential for the clients of the service to have the class information via export-packages to handle the exception.

Yet I have added the exceptions' package to the export packages. And I also made a DataTypes entry for each of the two exceptions as well.

Does anyone have an idea how I can get rid of this warning?

Thanks,

Getting a LiveCycle Application using the Java API

Hi,

I found an example of getting a LC application using the Java API at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/ProgramLC/WS98f05ad7ea54cfa45d20bd73139c3c669e5 -7ffa.html.

It works and I am able to get the appliation. However, I am not able to write it to a LAN location. Can anyone help me with this?

When the application is retrieved using getApplication() method, is it retrieved as an LCA or is it a complete application? In either case, what are the next steps as in can I write it to a file?

Thanks,

Merge dynamic PDFs into one

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 20:45:59 GMT

Hi.

I am aware that similar questions have been asked in the past but I am not able to find any definite answer. And, I may have a slightly different (easier) requirement, so I thought of raising this question again.

I have a Dynamic XFA form created using LiveCycle Designer. I have used XSD binding and at runtime, in Java, using some third party utility I fill in the XML data adhering to the XSD in this Dynamic form. So the result is a filled PDF document (pretty much static) which looks like any other read only PDF document. But, as at the core it is a XFA document, I am not able to concatenate it with other such resulting PDF document. No third party library is able to handle it and the reason may be the fact that they are internally dealing with XML rather than a standard PDF.

So to be specific : I need to find some Java based solution as I do not have a way to do it using LiveCycle or any Desktop based tool. And I need to concatenate two Dynamic XFA documents which have been filled out and saved as x.pdf and y.pdf on a disk. They look and feel like any standard PDF documents.

What are my options? Does Adobe have any Java APIs for this purpose? I am looking for some cost effective solution though as we can not afford to buy a full enterprise suite for this purpose.

Any help or pointers are much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Livecycle Javascript

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:57:40 GMT

I built a XFA based dynamic form template using livecycle. I heavily use javascript to look through the xml bound to a page and add rows to tables dynamically.

Example below:

var locationTotal = xfa.resolveNodes("Page1.dataNode.Location[*]").length;

var locationArray = new Array();

var i=0;

for (i=0; i<locationTotal; i++)

{

locationArray[i] = xfa.resolveNode("Page1.dataNode.Location[" + i + "]");

var buildingTotal = xfa.resolveNodes("Page1.dataNode.Location[" + i + "].Building[*]").length;

var buildingArray = new Array();

var j=0;

for (j=0; j<buildingTotal ; j++)

{

buildingArray[j] = xfa.resolveNode("Page1.dataNode.Location[" + i + "].Building[" + j + "]");

var buildingRow = BOPPolicyDocumentData.Page1.PropertyTableSubform.LocationSubform.AddressTable._Row1.addIn stance(1);

buildingRow.LocNo.rawValue = locationArray[i].unitNumber.value;

}

I use iText to merge the template and the xml. But from what I understand, iText does not run the javascript. The javascript needs to run at the client when the form is opened using acrobat reader.

This means the form cannot be viewed using other PDF readers which do not support javascript in them.

Also since the layout of such a form is determined when the form is opened rather than at the server, I cannot merge it with other dynamic PDFs to combine them all into one PDF.

Any advice on how I can eliminate javscript to run on the client side?

Thanks in advance!

Render dynamic PDF Form with attachments

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:40:07 GMT

Hello,

I try to render en PDF Form based on an XDP document (dynamic form) with ES3 Forms Service Client java API (using renderPDFForm method).

A problem occures with attachments.

When plain/text (or an application/xml) files are attached, it's OK: the PDF form is rendered and.txt and .xml attachments are added (renderer by acrobat reader).

But when i try to render a pdf form with multiple attachment types like pdf and msword files: it does not work even if I change the file extension or content type (from application/pdf to application/octet-stream or plain/text) of the "attached" Document.

The rendered pdf form is corrupted and cannot be rendered by Acrobat Reader.

Adobe reader says that the file is damaged and cannot be repaired.

Thanks !

Is it possible to use javascript to print a static pdf from dynamic when you click a button?

Hi,

I'm not sure how to explain it, and not sure if i'm posting in the right forum. But I want to make it possible to make a form that you fill and when you click a button this will print to a static pdf, where the name and directory is determined by the script and everything happens in the background and closes the form. I've been reading for a few weeks now but can't figure this out. Anyone have a solution? Please ask if anything is unclear.
