Does iDocumaker retrieve the actual form or an HTML version of the form?

With iDocumaker version 11.x Shared Objects, MRL resources can be retrieved real-time via IDS. This means the need to build HTML pages and store them in a database is no longer required. See the information on iDocumaker’s global.xml file in Using Web-Enabled Solutions for configuration details. iDocumaker patch 3.1.23 and above include this capability.

The MRL resources can be in the newer 11.x format or the format used prior to 11.0. The MRL resources do not have to be in a database. The connection details to the MRL resources are left to IDS and IDS does not typically use the JDBC protocol when retrieving resources from a database.
