Hi there Ramya.
It it possible to use the form component. If you read up on the documentation here http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/wcm/default_components/editmode.html#Form%20(component)

you will see that you can make use of the "Element Name" attribute (which will determine the location for that specific value) in the form together with the Store Data/Content Path to determine the location where to store the form data.

As you also pointed out it is possible to create you own post servlet to handle the form submission as well.
Some useful links on that topic:

• http://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet-servlets-post.html
• http://chanchal.wordpress.com/2013/01/25/cq5-and-sling-forms-options-and-gotchas/
• http://therealcq.blogspot.se/2013/01/how-to-write-custom-slingservlet.html

Hope that will get you going

Hi Johan,

Thanks for the replay.

i have to store the data in different nodes for each time form sumission with different data
Ex: under content/
                 Product1
                    subproduct1    
                    subproduct2
                    subproduct3
                Product2
                    subproduct1(related Product2)
                    subproduct2(related Product2)
                    subproduct3(related Product2)

In the link 

• http://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet-servlets-post.html we are trying to save the data in a single node.
• I have to give the customer a interface as a form,for example to enter the product1 detail in the form and on submit store that data in content/product1 and properites related to that. that will be used later to generate dynamic page content.
• Please suggest me any relavent way i can follow.

Thanks,

Ramya

Hi, this is a small example of how you could create a simple structure:
 

Node parentNode = resource.adaptTo(Node.class); Node firstProduct = JcrUtil.createPath(parentNode.getPath() + "/product1", "cq:Page", parentNode.getSession()); Node secondProduct = JcrUtil.createPath(parentNode.getPath() + "/product2", "cq:Page", parentNode.getSession()); Node firstSubProduct = JcrUtil.createPath(firstProduct.getPath() + "/subproduct1", "nt:unstructured", parentNode.getSession()); Node secondSubProduct = JcrUtil.createPath(firstProduct.getPath() + "/subproduct2", "nt:unstructured", parentNode.getSession()); Node thirdSubProduct = JcrUtil.createPath(secondProduct.getPath() + "/subproduct3", "nt:unstructured", parentNode.getSession()); Node fourthSubProduct = JcrUtil.createPath(secondProduct.getPath() + "/subproduct4", "nt:unstructured", parentNode.getSession()); firstSubProduct.setProperty("price", "100K"); secondSubProduct.setProperty("price", "200K"); thirdSubProduct.setProperty("price", "300K"); thirdSubProduct.setProperty("price", "400K"); parentNode.getSession().save();

Here we create 2 nodes (of type cq:Page). Each with 2 sub nodes as the sub products.
In this case there are of type nt:unstructured but you could have what you like there of course :)

Then we set some properties on these fur subproducts and finally we save it.
Hope it helps

Hi Johan,   

    Thanks for help with coding example,

But I am facing a issue with simple form submit.

Below in jsp which has HTML form.

<form action="savenode.jsp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="Product1" >
<input type="text" name="title" size="30">
<div>
<input type="submit" value="Send" onclick>
</div>
</form>

And in savenode.jsp i am trying to create the node with name Product one.

<%@page import="java.util.Properties"%>
<%@include file="/libs/foundation/global.jsp"%>
<%@page import="java.util.Iterator"%>
<%@ page import="org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.JcrUtils"%>
<%@ page import="com.day.cq.commons.jcr.JcrUtil"%>

<%
Node parentNode = resource.adaptTo(Node.class);
Node firstProduct = JcrUtil.createPath(parentNode.getPath() + request.getParameter("Product1"), "nt:unstructured", parentNode.getSession());
firstProduct.setProperty("title", request.getParameter("title"));
parentNode.getSession().save();
%>

But on submit of form I am getting the error as

Error while processing /content/optum/savenode.jsp

Status	500
Message	javax.jcr.nodetype.ConstraintViolationException: no matching property definition found for {}Product1

Hi. the code example that i was supplying was thought to be for a servlet/servlet filter that you would create yourself.
What needs to be done in that one is to change what that listen to. Either you can choose between a specific resourceType, a special selector
or even a path. Scott Macdonald has written a small guide of posting data to a search servlet here : http://scottsdigitalcommunity.blogspot.se/2013/06/posting-form-data-to-adobe-cq-using.html and even though that example only shows how to create a search servlet that listens to a specific path I'm quite sure that it will help you. Also this post will shed some more light on the topic https://blogs.adobe.com/aaa/2012/09/cq-tips-and-tricks-1-how-to-define-a-slingservlet-cq5-5-5-6.html

If you don't create your own servlet the thing that will happen is that the predefined POST handler will then intercept your post to "savenode.jsp". It will there try to add the property "Products1" on "savenode.jsp" which it's not allowed to do because of the constraint on property definitions. Once you have created you own servlet that handles a specific post e.g with your own selector or with an override on a specific resourceType you can use the code of your choice in that one and then be able to create your desired structure.

 

@SlingServlet(paths = "/path/to/resource", methods = "POST") public class MySafeMethodServlet extends SlingSafeMethodsServlet { //.. The logic here } or @SlingServlet(selectors = "MyCreationSelector", methods = "POST") public class MySafeMethodServlet extends SlingSafeMethodsServlet { //.. The logic here }

That will give you an idea to specify that servlet either on a specific path or for all posts that has the MyCreationSelector selector in it (like savenode.MyCreationSelector.jsp)
Good Luck
/Johan

You can also write an OSGi bundle that stores data submitted from a form to the JCR. See this walk through that teaches you how to do this task: http://scottsdigitalcommunity.blogspot.ca/2013/01/persisting-cq-data-in-java-content.html. 

Hi thank you

I have gone through http://scottsdigitalcommunity.blogspot.ca/2013/01/persisting-cq-data-in-java-content.html. its very good example but i implemented half of the part i am in progress.

But In my case we have  many fields need to added like name,Description ,image upload, vedio upload etc.

and we need to pick up the name field from the from and creat a node and add other fields as a propery to that node.

on each time form submit happens i need to create a new node by picking the name field.

If i use cq from it is creating ite one unique ID under that its storing the data.

to customize that what i need to change this is first time i am dealing with CQforms.need help.

Thanks

Ramya

Hi Johan,

If i use the form component which is available in cq where i will change the action attribute of the form to action="/apps/my/servlets/path/create ? so that onsubmit i can execute my servlet.

Thanks

Ramya

i have followed your code in that case i am getting some error i tried a lot but couldn't solve this problem if u put some light on my issue i would be greatful thank you in advance i.e com.day.cq.commons.jcr,version=[5.7,6) -- Cannot be resolved
