Code Block
FormsService fs = new FormsService("localhost", 8082);

Here is how you get the for a form entry (in fact any entry):<pre>

Code Block
FormTypeEntry ftEntry = ...;

...

String formId = ftEntry.getId();

...

And here is how you can use that id to find the corresponding form entry:

...

Code Block
String formId = ...;

...

FormsService fs = ...;

ApplicationEntry appEntry = ...;

...

FormTypeFeed ftFeed = appEntry.getFormTypeFeed();

...

FormTypeEntry newEntry = ftFeed.createEntry();

...

newEntry.setTitle(new PlainTextConstruct("MyForm"));

...

newEntry.setSummary(new PlainTextConstruct("MyForm Description"));

newEntry = ftFeed.insert(newEntry);

not

update it, but instead a new entry will be returned.

===== How do I create a new form using an existing one as a template? =====

The only difference between creating a new form and creating a new one based on an existing form is that instead of using the entry created by calling 'ftFeed.createEntry()' you will be using an existing form entry. Find an existing form entry, update its name and description and use that entry to insert into a feed. Do not override the entry id otherwise the insert will fail.
<pre>
FormsService fs = ...;
ApplicationEntry appEntry = ...; // find app entry
FormTypeEntry ftEntry = ...; // find template form entry
ftEntry.setTitle(new PlainTextConstruct("MyForm"));
ftEntry.setSummary(new PlainTextConstruct("MyForm Description"));
FormTypeFeed ftFeed = appEntry.getFormTypeFeed();
FormTypeEntry newEntry = ftFeed.insert(ftEntry);
</pre>
