Quick Start: Rendering an interactive PDF form using the Java API

The following code example renders an interactive PDF form named Loan.xdp to a client web browser. A file is attached to the form. Notice that the form design is stored in the repository.

import java.io.FileInputStream;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.servlet.Servlet;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;

import javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import com.adobe.livecycle.formsservice.client.*;

import java.util.*;

import java.io.InputStream;

import com.adobe.idp.Document;

import com.adobe.idp.dsc.clientsdk.ServiceClientFactory;

public class RenderPDFForm extends HttpServlet implements Servlet {

	public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)

		throws ServletException, IOException {

			doPost(req,resp);

	}

	public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)

		throws ServletException, IOException {

			try{

			//Set connection properties required to invoke LiveCycle ES	

			Properties connectionProps = new Properties();

			connectionProps.setProperty("DSC_DEFAULT_EJB_ENDPOINT", "jnp://localhost:1099");

			connectionProps.setProperty("DSC_TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL","EJB");          

			connectionProps.setProperty("DSC_SERVER_TYPE", "JBoss");

			connectionProps.setProperty("DSC_CREDENTIAL_USERNAME", "administrator");

			connectionProps.setProperty("DSC_CREDENTIAL_PASSWORD", "password");

			//Create a ServiceClientFactory object

			ServiceClientFactory myFactory = ServiceClientFactory.createInstance(connectionProps);

			//Create a FormsServiceClient object

			FormsServiceClient formsClient = new FormsServiceClient(myFactory); 

			//Set the parameter values for the renderPDFForm method

			String formName = "/Loan.xdp";  

			byte[]	cData = "".getBytes();

			Document oInputData = new Document(cData);

			//Cache the PDF form

			PDFFormRenderSpec pdfFormRenderSpec = new PDFFormRenderSpec();

			pdfFormRenderSpec.setCacheEnabled(new Boolean(true));

			//Specify URI values that are required to render a form

			URLSpec uriValues = new URLSpec(); 

			uriValues.setApplicationWebRoot("http://localhost:8080/FormsServiceClientApp4");

			uriValues.setContentRootURI("repository://");

			uriValues.setTargetURL("http://localhost:8080/FormsServiceClientApp4/HandleData");

			//Specify file attachments to attach to the form

			FileInputStream fileAttachment = new FileInputStream("C:\\rideau1.jpg"); 

			Document attachment1 = new Document(fileAttachment);

			String fileName = "rideau1.jpg";

			Map fileAttachments = new HashMap();

			fileAttachments.put(fileName, attachment1); 

			//Invoke the renderPDFForm method and write the 

			//results to a client web browser

			FormsResult formOut = formsClient.renderPDFForm(

						formName,               //formQuery

						oInputData, 			//inDataDoc

						pdfFormRenderSpec,      //PDFFormRenderSpec

						uriValues,				//urlSpec

						fileAttachments			//attachments

						);

			//Create a Document object that stores form data

			Document myData = formOut.getOutputContent();

			//Get the content type of the response and

			//set the HttpServletResponse object’s content type

			String contentType = myData.getContentType(); 

			resp.setContentType(contentType);

			//Create a ServletOutputStream object

			ServletOutputStream oOutput = resp.getOutputStream();

			//Create an InputStream object

			InputStream inputStream = myData.getInputStream();

			//Get the size of the InputStream object

			int size = inputStream.available();

			//Create and populate a byte array	

			byte[] data = new byte[size];

			inputStream.read(data);

			//Write the data stream to the web browser		

			oOutput.write(data);

			}catch (Exception e) {

				 System.out.println("The following exception occurred: "+e.getMessage());

			  }

		}
