  4. Save the rule.

17. How can you configure a submit action in an Adaptive Form in AEM?

Configuring a Submit Action in AEM Adaptive Forms

  1. Open the Adaptive Form: Go to the AEM Forms editor to edit your form.
  2. Find the Form Container: Look for the form container component in your form. This is where you'll set up the submit action.
  3. Go to Submit Settings: With the form container selected, find the "Submit" settings. This is where you'll add or change the submit action.
  4. Add or Edit the Submit Action:
  5. If no action is set, click "Add Action" and choose the action you need (like sending data to a server or redirecting).
  6. Save Your Changes: Make sure to save your form after setting up the submit action. This applies your changes, and the form container will now trigger the action when submitted.
  7. If an action is already set, you can change its settings here.
  8. Set Up the Action: Choose what the action should do. For sending data, you'll need the server's URL. For a redirect, you'll need the page to go to.

18. What are the default submit actions available with AEM Adaptive Forms?

The default submit actions available with AEM Adaptive Forms include:

  1. Submit to REST endpoint
  2. Send Email
  3. Send PDF via Email
  4. Invoke a Forms Workflow
  5. Submit using Form Data Model
  6. Forms Portal Submit Action
  7. Invoke an AEM Workflow
  8. Submit to Power Automate

19. What are some common use cases for configuring submit actions in Adaptive Forms?

  1. Sending form data to a backend service for processing or storage.
  2. Redirecting the user to a confirmation page or another relevant page after form submission.
  3. Triggering workflows or other business processes based on the form data.
  4. Performing client-side validation or additional processing before the form data is submitted.

20. What is the difference between "Invoke a Forms Workflow" and "Invoke an AEM Workflow"?

  • "Invoke an AEM Workflow" is a more general submit action that triggers an AEM Workflow, which can be used for a wide range of automation tasks beyond just form data processing. It can be used for content management, asset processing, and other business processes within AEM.
  • "Invoke a Forms Workflow" is a submit action that triggers a workflow defined within AEM Forms, which is specifically designed for processing form data. It allows for complex business logic and automation based on the form data.

21. What is the purpose of the "Submit to REST endpoint" action?

The "Submit to REST endpoint" action is used to send the form data to a specified REST API endpoint. This allows for integration with external systems or services that can process the form data, such as CRM systems, payment gateways, or custom backend services.

22. Can you create your own custom submit action in AEM Adaptive Forms?

Yes, you can create your own custom submit action in AEM Adaptive Forms by extending the existing submit actions or implementing a new one. This requires knowledge of AEM development and Java, and involves creating a custom OSGi service that implements the com.adobe.aemds.guide.adaptiveforms.submit.actions.SubmitAction interface. This allows for complete customization of the submit action behaviour, including the ability to integrate with external systems or services.

23. What is the AEM LiveCycle Connector?

The AEM LiveCycle Connector is a component of Adobe Experience Manager that facilitates integration between AEM and Adobe LiveCycle. It allows AEM to interact with LiveCycle services, enabling functionalities such as form processing, workflow automation, and document management directly within AEM. This integration enhances the capabilities of AEM by leveraging the advanced features of Adobe LiveCycle.

24. What are the benefits of integrating AEM with Adobe LiveCycle?

  1. Enhanced Content Management: Provides advanced content management capabilities, including dynamic form generation and document management.
  2. Improved Workflow Automation: Offers powerful workflow automation features, enabling more efficient and streamlined business processes.
  3. Increased Flexibility: Allows for greater flexibility in how content is managed and processed, catering to a wide range of business needs.
  4. Improved User Experience: Enhances the user experience by providing dynamic, interactive forms and seamless workflows.


25. What functionalities of Adobe LiveCycle ES4 are leveraged by AEM Forms through the AEM-LiveCycle Connector?

Through the AEM-LiveCycle Connector, AEM Forms leverages key functionalities of Adobe LiveCycle ES4, such as:

  • PDF Generation: Converts documents from various formats to PDF, ensuring high-quality print forms.
  • Rights Management: Secures PDF documents with dynamic security policies.
  • Document Output: Merges XML data into templates to create personalized document outputs.
  • Data Integration: Streamlines complex data capture and processing tasks.

26. What is a Data Source in AEM Adaptive Forms?

A Data Source in AEM Adaptive Forms is a mechanism that allows you to bind form fields to data from various sources, such as databases, REST APIs, or other external systems. This enables dynamic population of form fields based on the data source, and submission of form data back to these sources.

27. What is the difference between a Form Data Model and a RESTful Web Service Data Source?

  • A Form Data Model is a predefined structure that defines how form data is organized and stored. It can be used to bind form fields to specific parts of the form data, enabling dynamic population and submission of form data.
  • A RESTful Web Service DataSource, on the other hand, allows you to bind form fields to data retrieved from a RESTful web service. This is useful for integrating with external systems or services that expose their data through REST APIs.

28. Can you explain the role of JDBC in AEM Forms data source configurations?

JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) plays a critical role in AEM Forms data source configurations as it provides a way for the application to connect to a relational database. By configuring a JDBC data source, AEM Forms can execute SQL queries to insert, update, retrieve, and delete data, thereby interacting with database-stored information efficiently.

29. What is a Form Data Model in AEM Adaptive Forms?

A Form Data Model in AEM Adaptive Forms is a predefined structure that defines how form data is organized and stored. It acts as a blueprint for the form data, specifying the fields, their types, and how they are related. This allows for dynamic population of form fields based on the data model, and submission of form data back to the data model.

30. How can you configure a Form Data Model to perform GET operations in AEM Adaptive Forms?

To configure a Form Data Model to perform GET operations in AEM Adaptive Forms, you need to:

  • Define the structure of the data model by adding fields and specifying their types and properties.
  • Configure the data model to bind to an external data source, such as a REST API or a database, by specifying the endpoint URL and any required authentication details.
  • Use the "GET" method in the data model configuration to retrieve data from the external source.
  • Map the retrieved data to the fields in the data model, allowing the form to be dynamically populated with the external data.
