Integrating Java webapps with Adobe Professional

[Steve]

I'm interested in learning what resources there are for integrating Java
and Adobe Professional, in general. If it helps, my projects already
use the Spring Framework. My boss is particularly interested in being
able to fill out a PDF form from within a Java webapp and have that data
go directly to our database. She mentioned that .net had a lot of
bridges to Adobe Professional. I would rather new projects be in Java
so I am eager to find if there are any easy bridges between Java and
Adobe Professional. Thanks in advance for any information.

So far a Google search on "Java Adobe Professional" didn't turn up
anything, so I thought I would ask here.

If you have snark or sarcasm please don't spend your valuable time
replying to me. I need help, not someone else giving me a problem.

Thanks much in advance for any information.

Snark is good for you. It builds character, and you learn things.

Usually when a web search doesn't work for me, I try a different one to
see if that will work. I changed your search to this: 'adobe
professional "web forms" java api'; and found this:

"FDFToolkit for Java will meet some of your needs. It is an API provided
free by Adobe and can be found here.

I've used this API, in conjunction with Adobe Illustrator, Acrobat
Professional, to create dynamic, web-based forms. As it existed in a web
environment, I used a Servlet to implement the libraries and control the
form processing, pdf generation, etc."

I don't know much about it other than it seems current and seems to be
what you are after. There's a help forum near the bottom right where
you can ask other Adobe developers questions, which might be a much
better bet for specific answers about Adobe products.
