Sample for integrating drafts & submissions component with database

אתה מציג תוכן עזרה עבור גרסה:

AEM Forms portal drafts and submissions component allows users to save their forms as drafts and submit later from any device. Also, users can view their submitted forms on portal. To enable this functionality, AEM Forms provides data and metadata services to store the data filled in by a user in the form and the form metadata associated with drafts and submitted forms. This data is stored in the CRX repository, by default. However, as users interact with forms through AEM publish instance, which is generally outside the enterprise firewall, organizations may want to customize data storage for it to be more secure and reliable.

The sample, discussed in this document, is a reference implementation of customized data and metadata services to integrate drafts and submissions component with a database. The database used in the sample implementation is MySQL 5.6.24. However, you can integrate the drafts and submissions component with any database of your choice.

הערה:

The examples and configurations explained in this document are according to MySQL 5.6.24 and you must substitute them appropriately for your database system.
Ensure that you have installed latest version of AEM Forms add-on package. For the list of available packages, see the AEM Forms releases article.

Perform the following steps, on all the author and publish instances, to install and configure the sample :

Download the following aem-fp-db-integration-sample-pkg-6.1.2.zip package to your file system.

Forms Portal Pending Sign Data Service	Identifier for Pending Sign data service	formsportal.sampledataservice
Forms Portal Pending Sign Metadata Service	Identifier for Pending Sign metadata service	formsportal.samplemetadataservice

הערה:

The services are resolved by their names mentioned as value for the aem.formsportal.impl.prop key as follows:

@Service(value = {SubmitDataService.class, DraftDataService.class})
@Property(name = "aem.formsportal.impl.prop", value = "formsportal.sampledataservice")
@Service(value = { SubmitMetadataService.class, DraftMetadataService.class })
@Property(name = "aem.formsportal.impl.prop", value = "formsportal.samplemetadataservice")

You can change names of the data and metadata tables.

To provide a different name for the metadata table:

In the Web Console Configuration, find and click Forms Portal Metadata Service Sample Implementation. You can change the values of data source, metadata/additional metadata table name.

To provide a different name for the data table:

In the Web Console Configuration, find and click Forms Portal Data Service Sample Implementation. You can change the values of data source and data table name.

Note: If you change the table names, provide them in the Form Portal configuration.

Leave other configurations as is and click Save.

The database connection can be done via Apache Sling Connection Pooled Data Source.

For Apache Sling connection, find and click to open Apache Sling Connection Pooled DataSource in edit mode in the Web Console Configuration. Specify the values for properties as described in the following table:

הערה:

The JDBC driver for MySQL is not provided with the sample. Ensure that you have provisioned for it and provide the required information to configure the JDBC connection pool.
Point your author and publish instances to use same database. Value of the JDBC connection URI field must be same for all the author and publish instances.

Leave other configurations as is and click Save.

If you already have a table in the database schema, skip to the next step.

Otherwise, if you do not already have a table in the database schema, execute the following SQL statements to create separate tables for data, metadata, and additional metadata in the database schema:

הערה:

You do not require different databases for author and publish instances. Use same database on all the author and publish instances.

SQL statement for data table

CREATE TABLE `data` (
`owner` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`data` longblob,
`metadataId` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,
`id` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

SQL statement for metadata table

CREATE TABLE `metadata` ( 
`formPath` varchar(1000) DEFAULT NULL,

Sample_Package.zip

Database implementation of Forms Portal uses additional metadata table. The table has a composite primary key based on Key and id columns of the table. MySQL allows primary keys up to the length of 255 characters. You can use the following client-side validation script to verify the length of filename attached to the file widget. The validation is run when a file is attached. The script provided in the following procedure displays a message, when the filename is larger than 150 (including extension). You can modify the script to check it for a different number of characters.

Perform the following steps to create a client library and use the script:

Create a node of type cq:ClientLibraryFolder and provide name of the node. For example, validation.

Click Save All.

Right-click the node, click create new file, and create a file with extension .txt. For example, js.txt Add the following code to the newly created .txt file and click Save All.

#base=util
util.js

In the above code, util is the name of the folder and util.js name of the file in the util folder. The util folder and util.js file are created in suceeeding steps.

Right-click the cq:ClientLibraryFolder node created in step 2, select Create > Create Folder. Create a folder named util. Click Save All. Right-click the util folder, select Create > Create File. Create a file named util.js. Click Save All.

Add the following code to util.js file and click Save All. The code validate length of the file name.

הערה:

The script is for out of the box (OOTB) attachment widget component. If you have customized the OOTB attachment widget then change the above script to incorporate respective changes.

Add the following property to the folder created in step 2 and click Save All.

Name: categories

Type: String

Value: fp.validation

multi option: Enabled

Navigate to /etc/clientlibs/fd/af/guideRuntime and append the fp.validation value to the embed property.

Navigate to /etc/clientlibs/fd/af/guideRuntimewithXFA and append the fp.validation value to embed property.

הערה:

If you are using custom client libraries instead of of the guideRuntime and guideRuntimeWithXfa client libraries, use the category name to embed the client library created in this procedure to your custom libraries loaded at runtime.

Click Save All. Now, when the filename is larger than 150 (including extension) characters a message is displayed.
