newbie question about livecycle data services es
1 Accepted Solution
1) In Workbench ES2 create a process to create a new user. If you need to create a group there is also a service to create group. Create a short-lived process using the Avoka service > Create User operation. The Create User operation has the inputs depicted below.
2) Create a process variable called 'newUserXml' of type 'xml' and declare the variable as input. Ideally, create a schema for the xml.
3) The Create User operation has a single output, a string containing the user ID. Create a process variable called 'userID' of type 'string' and declare the variable as output.
3) Save, check-in, and deploy the process.
4) To test the process, invoke the process from the Workbench. For the input variable, plug data into an xml structure such as this...
<NewUser>
<Login/>
<Password/>
<CommonName/>
<CanonicalName/>
<Description/>
<Email/>
<Initials/>
<OrgName/>
<Address/>
<Telephone/>
</NewUser>
5) If the test succeeds, you are ready to create the Flex application. If not, figure out why.
6) Build a Flex app. Once you deployed the process, the remoting endpoint is automatically created and can be accessed by Flex. Here is a stub.

Yes. When you create your Flex project specify the application server type as "J2EE", select "Use remote object access server", and select "LiveCycle Data Services".
Then point the server location to Tomcat. In my case the configuration is as follows....
