Accessing a form using Java™

You can access existing forms in a database as follows:

• The Forms property of Database returns a vector of Form objects.
• The getForm method of Database returns a named Form object.

TheForm class provides access to properties through the following methods:

• getAliases returns a java.util.Vector of String values containing the aliases of the form.
• getFields returns a java.util.Vector of String values containing the names of all the fields on the form.
• getFormUsers returns a java.util.Vector of String values containing the $FormUsers field; setFormUsers sets the $FormUsers field to a java.util.Vector of String values.
• getHTTPURL returns a String value containing the HTTP URL of a form.

• isSubform returns true if the form is a subform.
• getName returns a String value containing the name of the form.
• isProtectReaders returns true if $Readers items are protected from being overwritten; protects $Readers items from being overwritten when set to true.
• isProtectUsers returns true if $FormUsers items are protected from being overwritten; setProtectUsers protects $FormUsers items from being overwritten when set to true.
• getNotesURL returns a String value containing the Notes® URL of a form.

• getReaders returns a java.util.Vector of String values containing the $Readers field; setReaders sets the $Readers field to a java.util.Vector of String values.
