Creating the User Interface
11. In the input binding id field, select the xpath where the input value is stored (/employee_id). When
you specify an input value, the adaptor returns database table values associated with that input value.
In the Output data field, select the xpath where the ouput is stored (for the ID field, this would be
/data/item/employee_id). This indicates the value in the database table that populates the field.
12. Repeat the configuration on the Special tab for the other fields you want to populate from this
adaptor. The settings are the same for each, except that the output data should match the field being
populated. For example, for the E-mail Address field, you would select /data/item/email_address
in the Output data field.
13. Add the properties file for this JDBC adaptor to the \WEB-INF\classes directory.
The properties file name corresponds to the adaptor name and in this case would be
jdbc_GetEmployeeInformation.properties. The properties file specifies the location of the data
source and standard JDBC configuration parameters, such as login credentials for the data source
and the path to the JDBC driver. The properties file for this adaptor would be similar to:
url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mysql
driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
user=root
password=forms (or password=pT9oeWTVuFI=)
To encrypt the password, you can use the DFC encryption method:
java com.documentum.fc.tools.RegistryPasswordUtils
You have finished configuring the data source adaptor to populate the employee information fields.
