Creating XForms

This topic provides information about creating XForms in Process Platform.

You can use Process Platform XForms to build the user interface of your application. Process Platform XForms offers varied functionality with which you can easily create application interfaces using the Process Platform Web Service Operations that are available with the application. You can also use Java API to create XForms dynamically or use XML Schema Fragments to create XForms and make them available for mapping in the message map.

Note:
If the authentication Web service operation for the Cordys website is set as Anonymous Access in Microsoft IIS or Apache ), the Authentication Details dialog box appears when you try to access Process Platform or use URLs to access standalone XForms or their translations. To access Process Platform, you must specify your Process Platform application username and password.

All XForms, once created, automatically participate in application level logging, as part of the composite application logging functionality. To enable application level logging, an XForm is first registered to the logging framework. The complete path of the XForm is used for registration. For example, to registerfile 1.caf the complete path used can be /cordys/folder1/folder2/file1.caf, which includes the XForm name.

In case of errors involving an XForm, a log is saved along with corresponding registration information of the XForm. This makes it easier for an administrator to search for the log related to an XForm. You can identify the log by the XForm name in the complete path. For details, see the Composite Application Logging and Logger Context.
