Invoking LiveCycle using SwaRef

To invoke the MyApplication/EncryptDocument process by using Java proxy files created using JAX-WS and SwaRef, perform the following steps:

1. Create Java proxy classes using JAX-WS that consumes the MyApplication/EncryptDocument service WSDL. Use the following WSDL endpoint:

   http://hiro-xp:8080/soap/services/MyApplication/EncryptDocument?WSDL&lc_version=9.0.1

   For information, see Creating Java proxy classes using JAX-WS .

   Note: Replace hiro-xp with the IP address of the J2EE application server hosting LiveCycle.

2. Package the Java proxy classes created using using JAX-WS into a JAR file.

3. Include the Java proxy JAR file and the JAR files located in the following path:

   <Install Directory>\Adobe\Adobe_Experience_Manager_forms\sdk\client-libs\thirdparty

   into your Java client project’s class path.

4. Create a MyApplicationEncryptDocumentService object by using its constructor.

5. Create a MyApplicationEncryptDocument object by invoking the MyApplicationEncryptDocumentService object’s getEncryptDocument method.

6. Set the connection values required to invoke LiveCycle by assigning values to the following data members:

   • Assign the WSDL endpoint and the encoding type to the javax.xml.ws.BindingProvider object’s ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY field. To invoke the MyApplication/EncryptDocument service using SwaRef encoding, specify the following URL value:

     http://hiro-xp:8080/soap/services/MyApplication/EncryptDocument?blob=swaref

   • Assign the AEM forms user to the javax.xml.ws.BindingProvider object’s USERNAME_PROPERTY field.

   • Assign the corresponding password value to the javax.xml.ws.BindingProvider object’s PASSWORD_PROPERTY field.

   The following code example shows this application logic:

   //Set connection values required to invoke LiveCycle 
   String url = "http://hiro-xp:8080/soap/services/MyApplication/EncryptDocument?blob=swaref"; 
   String username = "administrator"; 
   String password = "password"; 
   ((BindingProvider) encryptDocClient).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, url); 
   ((BindingProvider) encryptDocClient).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, username); 
   ((BindingProvider) encryptDocClient).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, password);

7. Retrieve the PDF document to send to the MyApplication/EncryptDocument process by creating a java.io.File object by using its constructor. Pass a string value that specifies the location of the PDF document.

8. Create a javax.activation.DataSource object by using the FileDataSource constructor. Pass the java.io.File object.

9. Create a javax.activation.DataHandler object by using its constructor and passing the javax.activation.DataSource object.

10. Create a BLOB object by using its constructor.

11. Populate the BLOB object by invoking its setSwaRef method and passing the javax.activation.DataHandler object.

12. Invoke the MyApplication/EncryptDocument process by invoking the MyApplicationEncryptDocument object’s invoke method and passing the BLOB object that contains the PDF document. The invoke method returns a BLOB object that contains an encrypted PDF document.

13. Populate a javax.activation.DataHandler object by invoking the BLOB object’s getSwaRef method.

14. Convert the javax.activation.DataHandler object to a java.io.InputSteam instance by invoking the javax.activation.DataHandler object’s getInputStream method.

15. Write the java.io.InputSteam instance to a PDF file that represents the encrypted PDF document.
