Submit InfoPath form (XML) document to directory on network

[yevad76]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out the best solution to my problem. I have an
infopath web-enabled form that currently submits the data via email.
Now I need to add another data connection that submits the data from
this form in an XML document to a directory on my network so that
other applications can utilize the data. How should one go about
doing this? My first thought was web service but I'm not familiar
with it and wouldn't know where to start.



Thanks for your time,

Why not just submit it to the document library that your form template is
tied to? The other applications can access the forms from there.

The problem with this is the file will be generated and stored on a
sharepoint site that will be on a DMZ. We need get the file back into
our local area network and using this method will possibly breach our
network policy of pushing files back into our LAN from our DMZ.
However, if you still think this will work without breaching our
security policy, then please show/tell me how to do this.

Thanks in advanced,

In this situation I would use a seperate program to migrate documents.

I have used www.watchdirectory.net in the past.

On you LAN a server would run this service and it would monitor the library
out in the DMZ for new files and as they arrived would move or copy them. It
has quite a bit of functionalty.

Otherwise you would be violating the DMZ to have the client moving, even
unknowingly, inside the LAN.
