31. How can you configure a Service to perform PUT operations in AEM Adaptive Forms?

To configure a Service to perform PUT operations in AEM Adaptive Forms, you need to:

  1. Create a new Service by navigating to the AEM Forms section, clicking on "Services" in the sidebar, and selecting "Create".
  2. Choose the type of service you want to create (e.g., Java Service, JavaScript Service, etc.).
  3. Configure the service to use a script or class that performs the PUT operation. This could involve making an HTTP request to a REST API or updating data in a database.
  4. Define any required parameters for the PUT operation, such as the endpoint URL, authentication details, and the data to be updated.
  5. Save the service and configure it to be invoked from the form's submit actions or other events.


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

Configuring a Form Data Model to perform UPDATE operations in AEM Adaptive Forms typically involves using a Service that is triggered by the form submission. The steps are as follows:

  1. Define the structure of the data model as usual, including fields for the data to be updated.
  2. Create a Service that performs the UPDATE operation. This could involve making an HTTP request to a REST API or updating data in a database.
  3. Configure the Service to use the data from the form submission as input for the UPDATE operation.
  4. In the form's submit action, configure it to invoke the Service. This will trigger the UPDATE operation when the form is submitted.

33. What is a Form Data Model (FDM)?

A Form Data Model (FDM) in AEM Adaptive Forms is a predefined structure that defines how form data is organized and stored. It specifies 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. The FDM can be based on XML or JSON schemas, which define the structure of the form data.

34. What Are Schemas in AEM Forms?

Schemas in AEM Forms are XML or JSON structures that define the structure of form data. They specify the fields that a form will contain, the data types of these fields, and any validation rules that should be applied to the data entered into these fields. Schemas are used to ensure that the data collected through forms is consistent, accurate, and adheres to predefined standards or business rules.

35. What is a Document of Record (DoR) in the context of AEM Adaptive Forms?

A Document of Record (DoR) is a PDF document generated from an Adaptive Form that captures the data entered by the user. It is designed to provide a reliable and consistent record of the form data, which can be used for various purposes such as record-keeping, compliance, or analysis.

36. How can you create a Document of Record for a non-XFA-based Adaptive Form in AEM?

To create a Document of Record for a non-XFA-based Adaptive Form in AEM, you need to:

  1. Open the Adaptive Form in edit mode.
  2. Navigate to the "Submit" action configuration.
  3. Select "Generate Document of Record" as the submit action.
  4. Configure the Document of Record settings, such as the PDF template and the data fields to include in the document.
  5. Save the form and test the form submission to generate a Document of Record.


37. What are the benefits of using a Document of Record in AEM Adaptive Forms?

Using a Document of Record in AEM Adaptive Forms offers several benefits:

  1. Reliability: The Document of Record provides a reliable and consistent record of the form data, ensuring that the data is captured accurately and consistently.
  2. Compliance: It helps in meeting compliance requirements by providing a verifiable record of the data entered into the form.
  3. Analysis: The Document of Record can be used for data analysis, allowing for the extraction and analysis of form data for insights and reporting.


38. What is the purpose of XML in AEM Forms?

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is used in AEM Forms to define the structure and data of forms. It allows for the creation of complex forms with various fields, layouts, and data types. XML is also used to store form data, making it easy to process and manipulate.

39. How does Schema.json contribute to form development in AEM Forms?

Schema.json is a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file that defines the structure and validation rules for form data in AEM Forms. It is used to ensure that the data entered into the form adheres to the expected format and meets the specified criteria. Schema.json is particularly useful for validating complex data structures and ensuring data integrity.

40. How do you convert an XML form to an FDM in AEM Forms?

Converting an XML form to an FDM in AEM Forms involves several steps:

  1. First, ensure that the XML form is well-structured and valid.
  2. Use the AEM Forms Designer to open the XML form.
  3. In the Form Designer, select the form and choose the option to convert it to an FDM. This process involves mapping the XML elements to the corresponding FDM fields and data types.
  4. Validate the FDM to ensure that the conversion is accurate and that the form data structure is correctly defined.
  5. Save the FDM and use it to create or update forms in AEM Forms.


41. What is the significance of XDP in AEM Forms?

XDP (XML Data Package) is a format used in AEM Forms for designing and managing forms. It is an XML-based format that encapsulates the form's layout, data model, and presentation logic. XDP files are used to create interactive forms that can be filled out by users, and they can also be used to generate PDF documents. XDP is essential for creating dynamic and interactive forms in AEM Forms.

42. What is a Document Fragment in AEM Forms?

A Document Fragment in AEM Forms is a reusable piece of content that can be used across multiple documents or forms. It allows for the creation of modular content that can be easily updated and reused, ensuring consistency and reducing the time and effort required to manage content.

43. Why would you use a Document Fragment in AEM Forms?

Document Fragments are used in AEM Forms to create modular and reusable content. They are particularly useful for:

  1. Consistency: Ensuring that the same content is used consistently across multiple forms or documents.
  2. Efficiency: Reducing the time and effort required to update content, as changes made to a Document Fragment are automatically reflected in all instances where it is used.
  3. Flexibility: Allowing for the easy addition or removal of content without affecting the overall structure of the document.

44. What is Interactive Communications in AEM Forms?

Interactive Communications in AEM Forms is a feature that enables the creation of dynamic, interactive forms. These forms can be personalized and customized based on user input, allowing for the generation of highly personalized documents such as letters, contracts, and reports.

45. What are Forms Portal Components in AEM, and how do you enable them for use in an AEM site?

Forms Portal Components in AEM are reusable components that allow users to create and customize forms portals on AEM websites. To enable Forms Portal Components, you must create proxy components and enable them for your site using the Core Components.
