So you've decided to use the Data Java client library to have a deeper integration between your application and . Our aim with this tutorial is to quickly get you started in using the Java client library by guiding you through the implementation of a simple application.

We will first help you configure your development environment and then jump straight into the Java code. This tutorial assumes that you have already installed a recent version of the Java JDK (5.0 or 6.0) and that you have already downloaded Tomcat bundle from LiveForms web site. The Tomcat bundle contains all the required Java Client jars.

You can download the command line binaries and the sources.

Assuming that you have an installation of  up and running (e.g. http://localhost:8082) and a user account (e.g. admin) in a given tenant (e.g. tutorial), you can run the command-line app here:

Also make sure that your configure Sey earchable Fields. Searchable fields can be used for quick searches when using the API.

Here is how the view-xsd command is implemented using the API:

 Note
Note that the form that is rendered by the browser is now pre-populated with the data in the XML:
 

The API code we used to do this goes as follows:
...
We have used the API here anyway to get you comfortable with using it. However, the power of the API becomes more obvious when providing a more dynamic integration where you want to enable your users to create the forms themselves. One example of such integration is our Confluence plugin: you install the plugin on Confluence and you can create any number of forms, flows in addition to a few other things. In this plugin we are allowing the user to create new forms all seamlessly integrated into Atlassian's Confluence.
