Core Form Container EndPoint value not submitted

[sssaadw]

Hi All,

As seen below I create a test core form container to POST Form Data to a external endpoint:

However when I go to preview the page I cannot see the external endpoint instead the only forms post visible is one directing to the page I sent it from:

Shouldn't this value show action="https://httpbin.org" ?

Hi @sssaadw,

This is correct behavior. In general every action run from Core From Container is handled in the background. So this means call to your custom endpoint will not be send directly but will be done on server side via HttpClient.

Please refer to following topics, I have described there in details flow how Core Form is working with reference to specific classes etc

• https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/aem-core-components-form-c...
• https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/form-container-post-form-d...

This should give you better understanding how Core Form has been designed.

Hi Lukasz,

Thanks for the explanation but do we have any official documentation or tutorial for creating a form using the core form container?

Thanks,

Sandeep

Hi @sssaadw, I am not aware about anything that will describe this in very detailed way to be included in official documentation.

I believe this is what you can find in official materials (I guess you probably know this):
