Data entry HTML form

[nikes]

Hello folks,

I want to integrate HTML form containing some fields, which user fills and data should be stored in database table(User created table).

How can I achieve this to integrate with Alfresco web client?

Do I need to create JSF pages and write any beans for this?

Thanks,
Nikesh

Guys, please provide some inputs on how to achieve this requirement.

Dear Alfresco members, please guide me for my requirements.

So you want to code your own JSFs and store the data in your own tables?    A Java Textbook will have examples.

Do you want to use Alfresco at all?   Normally you would persist data in Alfresco as node properties and there are a whold load of APIs for doing so and then retrieving the data once its saved.

So you want to code your own JSFs and store the data in your own tables? A Java Textbook will have examples.

I am very well aware of java database connectivity and no need for any Java textbook friend.

Microsoft sharepoint has feature called "LIST" and IBM Filenet can store properties without document upload.

I wanted to know whether similar feature is avaible in Alfresco?

I know if not then to integrate data entry form in Alfresco, JSF Hibernate is the last option to do the job.

Thanks,

Yes a node can have properties without having to have a file uploaded.     So your requirement then becomes to have some sort of UI storing data in a Node properties.  

Alfresco supports content modeling to allow you to define your custom types and aspects.    http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Beginner_Guide_-_Content_Modeling

Then the alfresco explorer interface (for one example) will allow you to define property sheets to display the properties of your custom types.        Or another approach would be to have  plain HTML form feeding a web script which sets node properties.

Thanks mrogers ,

Is there any sample available for adding propertysheet data (Without uploading document).
I have successfully added Type, Aspects to folder as a rule, as well as added custom property in Advanced search paramaters.

But I didn't get enough input for propertysheet generation.
Can anyone give reference link to achieve this?

Second requirement is to maintain audit trail (what, who, how etc….) of properties.  If I use custom table then to maintain audit trail would be very complex. What do u suggest?

I read little about custom wizard. Is it a good solution to use custom wizard in our requirements?

Thanks,
Nikesh
