Quick Start (SOAP mode): Creating PDF Documents with submitted XML data using the Java API

The following Java code example handles form data that is submitted as XML. Form data is retrieved from the Form submission using the Forms API and sent to the Output service. The form data and a form design are used to create a non-interactive PDF document. The non-interactive PDF document is stored in a Content Services (deprecated) node named /Company Home/Test Directory . The name of the form is dynamically created. That is, the user’s first and last name are used to name the PDF file. The resource identifier of the new content is written out to the client web browser. (See Creating PDF Documents with Submitted XML Data.)

/* 
    * This Java Quick Start uses the following JAR files 
    * 1. adobe-forms-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. commons-codec-1.3.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 7. commons-collections-3.2.jar  (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 8. commons-discovery.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 9. commons-logging.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 10. dom3-xml-apis-2.5.0.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 11. jaxen-1.1-beta-9.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 12. jaxrpc.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 13. log4j.jar (required for SOAP mode) 
    * 14. mail.jar (required for SOAP mode)

    * 20. adobe-output-client.jar 
    * 21. adobe-contentservices-client.jar 
    *  
    *  (Because Forms quick starts are implemented as Java servlets, it is  
    *  not necessary to include J2EE specific JAR files - the Java project 
    *  that contains this quick start is exported as a WAR file which 
    *  is deployed to the J2EE application server) 
    *   
    *  These JAR files are located in the following path: 
    * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/common 
    *
