Problem Statement

1. The visitor would request a demo by submitting a form in the Joget app.
2. Upon submission of the form, fields will be validated to make sure that all mandatory fields are filled up.

3. Upon successful validation of data, the form data will be shared with an external system (i.e. CRM software) for further processing through the use of plugins (i.e. JSON Tool) or Bean Shell code. More on this later on.

4. The main objective is to ensure the successful delivery of data with the external system.

1. We can also write Bean Shell code. Here's a quick sample code to make HTTP get call.

   Code Block
   language java title Bean Shell code to make restful API calls sample linenumbers true
   import org.apache.http.HttpResponse; import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet; import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpRequestBase; import org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient; import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClients; import java.io.IOException; import org.joget.commons.util.LogUtil; CloseableHttpClient client = null; HttpRequestBase request = null; try{ String jsonUrl = "http://localhost:8080/jw/web/json/workflow/assignment/list/count?packageId=crm"; //sample url String name = "header1"; String value = "value1"; CloseableHttpClient client = null; CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.createDefault(); HttpRequestBase request = null; request = new HttpGet(jsonUrl); request.setHeader(name, value); HttpResponse response = client.execute(request); } catch (Exception ex) { LogUtil.error(getClass().getName(), ex, ""); } finally { try { if (request != null) { request.releaseConnection(); } if (client != null) { client.close(); } } catch (IOException ex) { LogUtil.error(getClass().getName(), ex, ""); } }

   We can execute this piece of code from various plugin types giving us the flexibility on where/when we want to invoke it. The only disadvantage compared to the former is that we need to maintain the custom coding ourselves instead of configuring through a plugin. These are the plugin types relevant to our solution to call the code from:-

   1. Bean Shell for Process Tool
   2. Bean Shell Validator
   3. Bean Shell Form Binder
