Configuring Forms with Java Back End

As an SAP NetWeaver administrator you need the following configuration if you implement SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe with a Java system back end:

• You create and configure a Web service destination where you specify a system with Adobe Document Services (ADS) installed and running.
• You set up basic authentication to access the ADS provider. For this purpose, you should first create the relevant ADS user.

You have access to a system where Adobe Document Services (ADS) are installed, configured, and running.

1. Open the SAP NetWeaver Administrator using the following URL: http://<host>:<port>/nwa, where <host> and <port> are the relevant host name and port of your Application Server (AS) Java system.
2. Navigate to SOA Management → Technical Configuration → Destination Template Management.
3. To create a new destination choose New.
4. Choose WSIL as Destination Type: WSIL.
5. Enter ConfigPort_Document in the field Destination Name.
   Caution

   Enter the name exactly as given here, case sensitive.

6. In the field URL enter  http://<host>:<port>/inspection.wsil
   Note

   <host> is the AS Java where the Adobe document services are installed, and <port> is the HTTP port of the AS Java.

7. Click Next and chose HTTP Authentication  in the Authentication group box and select the User ID/Password (Basic) indicator.
8. Click on the Details button. Enter ADSUser in the field User ID and the password in the Password and Confirm Password fields. You must specify the same password as you did in the task Creating a User in AS Java for Basic Authentication
9. Click Finish to save your entries.

To test the destination you have created, you may instantiate a form in GP design time by generating a URL on the Test tab page.
