Hi,
We have a workflow where a user fills a form (.xdp ) and submits it from the workspace.
In Livecycle 7, we have used the user action where the input form was mapped to a xdp variable and when the user submits it , the form is configured to be submitted as a pdf and the submitted pdf is stored in a document variable. This is done so that the attachments and digital signatures get propagated to the next stage and also so that the form data is written to a mssql server database using javascript in the form.
We are trying to recreate this workflow in Livecycle ES2. However, this approach does not seem to work. The input form is assigned to a xfaform variable (since there is no option in ES2 to assign it to xdp variable) and when user submits it , the form is configured to be submitted as a pdf and is stored in a document variable.
With this settings, when the user submits the form, the workflow stalls with the following error:
2010-05-10 07:06:02,175 ERROR [org.jboss.ejb.plugins.LogInterceptor] TransactionRolledbackLocalException in method: public abstract java.lang.Object com.adobe.idp.dsc.transaction.impl.ejb.adapter.EjbTransactionCMTAdapterLocal.doSupports(com.adobe.idp.dsc.transaction.TransactionDefinition,com.adobe.idp.dsc.transaction.TransactionCallback) throws com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCException, causedBy:
com.adobe.workflow.datatype.InvalidCoercionException: Cannot coerce object: com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.form.impl.xfa.XFARepositoryFormInstance@1cdddcf of type: com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.form.impl.xfa.XFARepositoryFormInstance to type: com.adobe.idp.Document
Since, the workflow errors out when trying to convert to the document datatype , we have also tried the following alternatives:
· Input form mapped to a document variable and submitted as pdf when user submits it. This does not give any error but the javascript (triggered when the user submits the form) which writes to a mssql server database using xpath expressions does not work.
· Input form mapped to a xfaform variable and submitted as xdp when user submits it. This also does not give any error but the attachments which the originator adds to the form are not visible at the next stage (at the next user assign task) . The “show attachments and notes” property checkbox in user assign task is also checked.
Can you please help us achieving the below requirement in Livecycle ES2 which we were able to implement in Livecycle 7:
· When the user fills and submits the form, a javascript in the form writes the form data to the mssql server database
· The attachments and the signatures added to the form propagates to the next user tasks
Thanks,
