Quick Start (EJB mode): Creating a PDF document based on an application XDP file using the Java API

The following Java code example creates a PDF document named Loan.pdf. This PDF document is based on a form design named Loan.xdp and an XML data file named Loan.xml. The XDP file is deployed as part of a LiveCycle application named Applications/FormsApplication. Notice that the URI path is repository:///Applications/FormsApplication/1.0/FormsFolder/. The Loan.pdf is written to the C:\Adobe folder located on the J2EE application server hosting LiveCycle, not the client computer. (See Creating PDF Documents.)

Before running this quick start, ensure that you create a LiveCycle application named Applications/FormsApplication. Create a folder within the application named FormsFolder and place the XDP file in the folder. For more information, see Generate a PDF document.
/* 
    * This Java Quick Start uses the EJB 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. adobe-utilities.jar 
    * 5. jbossall-client.jar (use a different JAR file if LiveCycle ES2 is not deployed 
    * on JBoss) 
    *  
    *  These JAR files are located in the following path: 
    * <install directory>/Adobe/Adobe LiveCycle ES2/LiveCycle_ES_SDK/client-libs/common 
    *  
    * The adobe-utilities.jar file is located in the following path: 
    * <install directory>/Adobe/Adobe LiveCycle ES2/LiveCycle_ES_SDK/client-libs/jboss 
    *  
    * The jbossall-client.jar file is located in the following path: 
    * <install directory>/Adobe/Adobe LiveCycle ES2/jboss/client 
    *  
    * If you want to invoke a remote LiveCycle ES2 instance and there is a 
    * firewall between the client application and LiveCycle ES2, then it is  
    * recommended that you use the SOAP mode. When using the SOAP mode,  
    * you have to include additional JAR files located in the following  
    * path 
    * <install directory>/Adobe/Adobe LiveCycle ES2/LiveCycle_ES_SDK/client-libs/thirdparty 
    *  
    * For information about the SOAP  
    * mode and the additional JAR files that need to be included,  
    * see "Setting connection properties" in Programming  
    * with LiveCycle ES2 
    *  
    * For complete details about the location of the LiveCycle ES2 JAR files,  
    * see "Including LiveCycle ES2 library files" in Programming  
    * with LiveCycle ES2
