Quick Start (SOAP mode): Creating search rules using the Java API

The following Java code example creates two text patterns that the Output service searches for. The first text pattern is Mortgage. If found, the Output service uses the form design named Mortgage.xdp . The second text pattern is Automobile. If found, the Output service uses the form design named AutomobileLoan.xdp . If neither text pattern is located, the Output service uses the default form design named Loan.xdp. The Loan.pdf is written to the C:\Adobe folder located on the J2EE application server hosting AEM Forms, not the client computer. (See Creating Search Rules.)

/* 
    * This Java Quick Start uses the SOAP mode and contains the following JAR files 
    * in the class path: 
    * 1. adobe-output-client.jar 
    * 2. adobe-livecycle-client.jar 
    * 3. adobe-usermanager-client.jar 
    * 4. activation.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 5. axis.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 6. axis.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 7. commons-codec-1.3.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 8. commons-collections-3.2.jar  (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 9. commons-discovery.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 10. commons-logging.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 11. dom3-xml-apis-2.5.0.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 12. jaxen-1.1-beta-9.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 13. jaxrpc.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 14. log4j.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 15. mail.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 16. saaj.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 17. wsdl4j.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 18. xalan.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 19. xbean.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 20. xercesImpl.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    *  These JAR files are located in the following path: 
    * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/common 
    *  
    *  
    * <install directory>/jboss/client 
    *  
    * SOAP required JAR files are located in the following path: 
    * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/thirdparty 
    *  
    * If you want to invoke a remote forms server instance and there is a 
    * firewall between the client application and the server, then it is  
    * recommended that you use the SOAP mode. When using the SOAP mode,  
    * you have to include these additional JAR files 
    *  
    * For information about the SOAP  
    * mode, see "Setting connection properties" in Programming  
    * with LiveCycle
