I have a web application with database. Is it possible to map the forms in Joget to my database from my previous application ?
How do that ?

    Natively, Joget is handling the form and its data storage from end to end which means that when you create a new input element in your form, Joget will automatically create the hibernate mapping and the equivalent column in the database table as well.

    It is possible for you to override on how the data loading and storing behaves by using custom form load binder and form store binder.

    You may also consider using the external form feature since you would like to handle and store the form data externally.

    If you have just a couple of fields to be written to external database, you may consider using the database update process tool instead.

    Hope this helps.

      Hi,

      Thank's for your response.

      But to fill my custom form by using load binder and form store binder, i found only the "Bean shell form binder" to do this.

      is it possible to use an other plugin to fill my custom form, for exemple by using http url ?

      Thank's

        Hi Mohamed,

        I think that when you said that by using custom form, you will design the form by yourself from scratch up and handle the form data completely by yourself therefore, I don't see when/where will the load binder and the store binder come into the picture.

        And on how to fill up your form, it's out of Joget's scope already as it's up to your own implementation.

        Maybe you can read up on how to do Integration on the knowledge base.

        Hope this helps. Thank you.

    @Hugo Does this means that if i have an oracle database where the form data will be saved, then i can NOT use  Joget form builder an then map the forms to the activities ?

      Hi John,

      Joget can run in any database as long as it is supported by its persistance layer, Hibernate. In the form, you may load and store data from external databases of your choice as well. (Internal database being the working database Joget runs on, external being any other databases)

      Hope this helps.

      Hi gaurav,

      Can you clarify on what are you trying to achieve? Your statement does not suggest anything specific nor use case. Typically, you can use your respective standard database's command and tools to perform import/export.

      Thanks.
