Maybe someone might have a few ideas on how I can approach my problem so.My web application maintains session info of any logged in users. One of the attributes of the session is a "securityToken".When the user clicks a button on the PDF within my web application, a Web Service call is made. However...

I don't have LiveCycle server on my server-side. It's a Java based server-side where my processing will be performed.Presently, when I decode my base64-encoded String it's not in XDP format. Can see some text but a lot of it is not readable. Any ideas what method I should be looking for in Java?

OK, but how do you go about specifying a "source" for this datadom? I know it'll be an XML file that matches the defined schema but how do you about configuring the source of this XML or where do you configure it?I can understand that the "WSDL" or "OLEDB Database" and "Sample XML Data" Data Connect...

Sorry for the bump but can someone please provide some (high level) info on how this is done .If I use an XML schema as my "Data Connection" in LiveCycle Desiger (client application) how is the actual data source configured? Is this done via the server side components?Thanks again.

No worries...but I am a bit confused now. Do your replies (numbers 13 and 15) above apply for the client or just the server?If not, is there any way around this for the Adobe LiveCycle Designer client?Thanks.

OK, I presume so XPath is supported as a method for binding fields to XML elements etc? I didn't see any mention of it in the SOM Specification.

I've had a look now at the SOM Expression Specification.If I return all workItemIDs say is it possible to use an expression to select the workItemID that I am interested in?As far as I can see the array notation must be numeric, so you'd need to know what order the Work Items have been returned in.I...

Thanks for your explanation. In this case, just to clarify, would the Data Connection in this case be an XML file or are you suggesting to say return an array as part of the Web Service incorporating all Work Items? (not too sure if the latter works)

Yes, that's it. The workItemID is indeed unique.So I want to have 2 "firstName" fields on the same form that are effectively populated with data from 2 separate web service calls.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure I'm grasping this fully.I see if I drag on 2 firstName fields onto the form that one has an instance number of 0 and the other an instance number of 1.But as these fields both belong to the same Web Service operation then surely they will contain the same values on populat...
