AEM forms XDP Text Field with Rich Data and html data in XML datasource.
Hello all,
I have a datasource which supplies an xml to the XDP ( created with AEM forms 6.5 designer)
In the XDP I have configured the text field to use the rich text property and provided a binding to the field in the incoming XML which has the html tags.
I would like the text to be formatted based on the <b> and<br /> tags that are present in the XML string.
Below is the XML string:
<orderperson>Sample Text <br /> First Line <br /> <b> Bold Text </b></orderperson>
When i preview the document , i get a Sample ouput like below which just displays the html tags as plain text
I am looking to get the output to be formatted like shown below.
Can any one help me with ways to achieve this?
Regards,

hi radzmar,
i tried the following and faced the below issue. Can you pls advise ?
1. I created an xml containing the line from your above message.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p style="text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in">Sample Text</p><p style="text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in">First Line</p><p style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in">Bold Text</p></body>
2. I created a schema out of the xml to use as data connection.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="body">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="p">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:string">
<xs:attribute name="style" type="xs:string" use="required" />
</xs:extension>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
3. When i import the schema into the data connection , it gives me the below error.
Can you please let me know how to import this into the data connection.
Would it be possible for you to share a small sample file with this working?
Hi,
you don't have to define any fancy XSD, just keep it simple like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Mit XMLSpy v2014 sp1 (http://www.altova.com) von Detlef Rösner-Katt (TA Triumph-Adler) bearbeitet --> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> <xs:element name="form"> <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation>Comment describing your root element</xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="Text" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="Text" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="Text" type="xs:string"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema>
This sample gives you a data connection to 3 potential fields named "Text".
Those that are defined to accept Rich Text will display formatted texts and also save the formatting details as simple string into an element <Text> when exporting data.
Here's the XML whre the first Text field accepts Rich Text and the others only plain text.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xfa:data xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
<form>
<Text><body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p style="text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in">Sample Text 1</p><p style="text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in">First Line</p><p style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in">Bold Text</p></body></Text>
<Text>Sample Text 2</Text>
<Text>Sample Text 3</Text>
</form>
</xfa:data>
