LiveCycle operations are organized into the following API Quick Start categories:

  • Java API (EJB) - Demonstrates using the LiveCycle strongly-typed API and the connection mode is set to EJB. (See Setting connection properties.)

  • Java API (SOAP) - Uses the LiveCycle strongly-typed API and the connection mode is set to SOAP.

  • Web service API (MTOM) - Demonstrates using a .NET client proxy and MTOM. (See Invoking LiveCycle using MTOM.)

  • Web service API (SwaRef) - Demonstrates using Java proxy classes and SwaRef. These Java proxy classes are separate from the LiveCycle strongly-typed API. (See Invoking LiveCycle using SwaRef.)

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