Application logic that uses the Forms service API is implemented as Java servlets. LiveCycle operations are organized into the following Quick Start categories:

Java API (EJB) - Demonstrates using the LiveCycle strongly-typed API and the connection mode is set to EJB. All of these quick starts are implemented as Java servlets. (See Setting connection properties.)
Web service API (Base64) - Demonstrates using Java proxy classes and Base64. These Java proxy classes are separate from the LiveCycle strongly-typed API. All of these quick starts are implemented as Java servlets.(See Invoking LiveCycle using Base64 encoding.)
Web service API (MTOM) - Demonstrates using a .NET client proxy and MTOM. These quick starts are implemented as .NET console applications. (See Invoking LiveCycle using MTOM.)

Remarque : Quick starts located in Programming with v are based on the LiveCycle Server being deployed on JBoss and the Windows operating system. However, if you are using another operating system, such as Unix, replace windows specific paths with paths supported by the applicable operating system. Likewise, if you are using another J2EE application server, then ensure that you specify valid connection properties. (See Setting connection properties.)

The Adobe Developer web site contains the following article that discusses how to create a ASP.NET application that invokes the Forms service and renders forms. See Creating form rendering ASP.NET applications.
