This article describes setting up the Salesforce Server instance, to be used with the JavaScript Apply Form.
This documentation is designed for people familiar with JavaScript and object-oriented programming concepts. You should also be familiar with application forms from a user's point of view. There are many Javascript tutorials available on the web.
This API is available in Connexys version 7 and later.
Pages
The Javascript Apply Form uses pages on the public site for generating JSON containing language-dependent data and for file uploads. Submitting the data is handled via a rest controller. Because of the Cross-Domain-Site-scripting nature, Salesforce must be set up to trust the Javascript hosting domain.
The following pages must be marked for public use:
- cxsApplyFormJson
- cxsApplyFormDocument
- As well as the following controller: cxsApplyFormRestController
Go to Setup > Develop > Sites. Click on the Site Label. Add pages 1 and 2 to the Site Visualforce Pages.
To add controller 3, press the button "Public Access Settings" and add 3 to the Enabled Apex Class Access
Additionally, the hosting site must be secure and added to the allowed Salesforce CORS domains. Go to Setup > Security Controls > CORS, and add your secure site.
Release 8 and up: These same domains added to the salesforce CORS, must also be added to the application setting "Javascript Form Origin Domains" (Connexys Setup > Application settings > All settings > Application form).
For more information on configuring your secure site, read Javascript Application Form API: Basic Setup.
