Getting a FormBean from a HippoDocument

[Nils Zonneveld]

Does anyone know how do I get a FormBean from a HippoDocument object?

[Eray]

In hippo go green project there is a SimpleDocument class. It has form property and get it like that :

public FormBean getForm() {
        HippoMirror mirror = getBean(Constants.PROP_FORM);
        if (mirror == null) {
            return null;
        }
        return (FormBean) mirror.getDeref();
    }

Best Regards,
Eray.

You should use getReferencedBean() insteaf of getDeref() because in javadoc :

WARNING: A deref breaks out of the virtual context, and might return you a node structure, where you find published and unpublished nodes. Recommended to use is getReferencedBean(). Note that this might return you a handle containing both live and preview documents. You should not use this method to get a linked item. Use getReferencedBean().

Hi Neha,

It looks like the given code tries to get a form bean from a regular document's bean that has a link to a form document.
This is a pretty standard way of implementing Enterprise Forms but there is an easier way to do it:

public FormBean getForm() {
return this.getLinkedBean("relativePath", FormBean.class);
}

Next would be to use a component that extends EformComponent and overrides #getFormBean(HstRequest request) to call that
getForm() method from the document's bean.

Thanks.

Was able to resolve the issue by overriding the formbean and creating document like:

String formPath = request.getRequestContext().getAttribute("formPath").toString();
        final HippoBean document =  request.getRequestContext().getSiteContentBaseBean().getBean(fp);

where formPath is browsed form document path.

Thanks,
Neha
