Hi all,
I'm wondering how to send the content of an XFA form into an Alfresco ECM instance. So far, I've been using "email submit buttons" by mail, but I think submitting the xml content directly into an Alfresco space could be feasible without too much trouble.
I'm trying to adapt the online script fromLiveCycle documentation
same in version 9 : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/programLC/help/index.htm?content=001303.html
which are about the same docs as the ones on Alfresco wiki (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts_Examples#File_Upload) although LiveCycle is only based on Alfresco AFAIK.
I don't want to use an HTML form, but directly send my form from my pdf xfa form. I made a small test using a fixed url on an HttpSubmitButton
On Alfresco, the document is created with the correct args values. But I still don't know how to send the real form content to the URL.
I checked on this document http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/livecycle/lc_understanding_submit_tip.pdf where I discovered I can use a custom submit button to send the datasets, but still cannot get my form xml data.
I hope someone will have a clue about LiveCycle/Alfresco communication.
Thx
Best regards,

Hi,
I'm answering to myself.
I've found that a "requestbody" object is available from javascript. This object has a property "content" which contains the xml content of the form.

Yes of course :
in Data Dictionary/Web Scripts (or Web Scripts extensions): create the 3 files
You may use spaces for package/subpackages:
- pdfform.post.desc.xml
<webscript>
<shortname>pdf form</shortname>
<description>processing pdf form</description>
<url>/pdfform</url>
<authentication>guest</authentication>
</webscript>
- pdfform.post.js :upload = companyhome.createFile("form." + companyhome.children.length + "." + args.fileName) ;
upload.properties.content.content = requestbody.content;
upload.properties.encoding = "UTF-8";
upload.properties.title = args.title;
upload.properties.description = args.description;
upload.save();
model.upload = upload
-pdfform.post.html.ftl (freemarker)
<html>
<head>
<title>Test pdf form</title>
</head>
<body>
done !
</body>
</html>
- Register the script by refreshing the page http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/index
or with curl -X POST "-uadmin:admin" -d "reset=on" http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/index (as mentioned by Jeff Potts)
- try it with from a pdf
use a plain button, select "Submit", Submit to URL = "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/pdfform?guest=true&fileName=myFileName.xml&title=myTitle&description=myDescription", Sumit As = XDP
Test done with Alfresco 3.3CE, LiveCycle 8.2.1/Adobe 9.3
Hope all this will is correct as I'm learning web scripts,
Regards,
jgrd
