AEM Forms - Using AssemblerService - how to configure insertionPoint in LiveCycle designer and use it via DDX

[nitin_seth]

Env. AEM Form 6.5 SP-12 On Prem, Document Manager version [1].

Question - Using AssemblerService - how to configure insertionPoint in LiveCycle designer and use it via DDX

Scenario - We are trying to configure insertionPoint (DDX [2]) as explained here -

https://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/11.0/dynamic_assembly_guidelines.pdf but it does not work.

Question is:

• Does AssemblerService (as mentioned above in Env.) still supports insertionPoint or not?
• Is there any alternate feature available or not OOTB in AEM Forms?

Did you name the insertion point correctly in the xdp?

I am following the steps to create insertion point from this Adobe doc : Guidelines for Dynamically Assembling Customized Forms and Documents (adobe.com)

i am attaching screen short for your reference. 

Questions :

1. Do you have any working example of insertion point.
2. Is there any reference/doc that we can refer.

I am not using workbench.

live cycle designer 11 to design XDP and AEM 6.5.

Thanks.

@workflowuser thanks for your response. 

I am requesting can you please provide clear solution or any source Along with designer DDX intervention to work with Document Services of AEM 6.5.

 So that I will understand the limitation and improvements for the solution which mentioned above.

Thanks.

Do you have any AEM Forms Designer solution here? Its on prem AEM Forms 6.5 setup. Details were given in the first post.

[workflowuser]

I will send a sample 

[hrai]

Sure, thanks for taking this up.

However we followed this doc - https://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/11.0/dynamic_assembly_guidelines.pdf and this is the exception we are getting on AssemblerService.

PDFAssemlerServlet_InsertionPoint InsertionPoint Catch block e= com.adobe.internal.pdfm.xfa.XFAServiceException: PDFM_S28003: XFA Assembly unable to assemble required XFA Fragment "subPatientContact" from document "tuc018_contact.xdp". 

[workflowuser]

add the following entry 

/content/AemFormsSamples/assemblerservice

in using http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr

one of the links has the sample ddx and xdp. Please use those to test. The package has jsp code that you need to deploy using package manager

Then using postman make a POST request to the endpoint as shown in the screen shot using the sample xdp and ddx

[hrai]

Sure, highly appreciate you taking time to provide a sample. We will test and verify what is different, thanks.

When the Assembler service interprets the following DDX expression, it creates an XML form that contains
another XML form. The myFragment subform from the myFragmentSource document is inserted at the
myInsertionPoint in the myFormSource document.
