protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest arg0, HttpServletResponse arg1) throws

}

}

There is no forms specific code except the DTK.initialize statement. It connects us to

Workplace Forms API of version 6.5.0. This will allow us to access the XFDL form in the code.

Now we are prepared to implement the doGet methods (operating in this stage only for

navigation), and later on, the doPost methods handling the submitted form.
