calling AEM servlet from form

[formuser1]

I have a rest endpoint that I want to invoke. I dont want to use fdm, how to invoke AEM servlet from form? can we set checkbox dynamically with servlet response?

you can use javascript to make the call. Create a client library and in that client library have your javascript make the call to the servlet. You can capture the response and display the value in the form using the guide bridge

@formuser1 

1. Create a client libs folder 

2. In the JS file create a function

function getPdf() {
var settings = {
"async": true,
"url": "URL will go here",
"method": "POST",
data: {
'data': result.data
}
}
$.ajax(settings).done(function(response) {
guideBridge.resolveNode("pdf").value = response;
})

}

3. Go to form, map your client libs.

4. Go to rule editor/code editor and map the function which is making ajax call as shown below:
