Hey guys,

Im stumped. I have 2 installations of AEM Forms with different configurations and both of them error out with the same error message ( please see below). The binaries were downloaded directly from Adobe and are the latest ones. Please note that the rest of the AEM components work without any issues. Its only the components that use FormService that are the issue here ( Output and Forms).Here are the details:

Server 1:

OS: Windows 2012 R2

Application Server: WebLogic 12c

Components

  1. Output 
  2. PDFG 
  3. Reader extensions

Server 2:

OS: Windows 2012 R2

Application Server: WebLogic 12c

Components

  1. Process Management 
  2. Forms 

ERROR Message on both configurations:

<ALC-OUT-002-004: Unable to find service: XMLFormService, error: Service XMLFormService: error locating native and persistent directories.

Can anyone provide any insight into this ?

Thanks,

Armaghan

Fixed the issue.

Even though its not documented anywhere and the configuration manager doesn't tell you, you MUST install CRX-Repository in-order to use Output or Forms.

Seems like the "XMLFormService" has been packaged as an OSGI bundle. It used to be in the deployed EAR files before. 

Thanks,

Armaghan.
