Quick Start (SwaRef): Creating search rules using the web service API

The following Java web service 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 LiveCycle, not the client computer. (See Creating Search Rules.)

    /** 
    * Ensure that you create Java proxy files that consume 
    * the Output services  WSDL. You can use JAX-WS to create 
    * the proxy Java files.   
    *  
    * For information, see "Invoking LiveCycle using SwaRef" in Programming with LiveCycle
