Submitting Adaptive Form Data to MySQL using a DataSourcePool

You can create an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.3 form and submit the data to a custom AEM service. The custom service uses the Java JDBC API to persist data into a relational database.  Although an Adaptive Form does let you configure a data model to submit data to a relational database, by creating a custom service, you can fully control how the data is submitted to MySQL. For example, you can peform additional operations by using Java logic prior to updating a database.

Te following form represents the form that is created in this article.

Extending Adobe Experience Manager Core Components

You can customize Adobe Experience Manager core components by extending them and modifying the Java logic. In this article, you are going to customize the Java object used by the Title component to add some static text to the end of the title. The way the Core Components are written, they reference back end Java objects, implemented using the Sling Models framework, by interface name. For example, the Title component’s HTML references an interface named com.adobe.cq.wcm.core.components.models.Title.

When the HTL script asks for an implementation of this interface, Sling Models uses the implementation class which is associated with the nearest resource type. So, to provide a custom backing Java object, you need to create a Sling Model class which uses a closer resource type than the default.

The following illustration shows the Title component that uses a custom Java class that extends the Title core component class.
