Imitating FormAPI behaviour when using the Java UI

Hi,
we have a datacapture.cfg that uses FormAPI to interrogate the "name" field on Save and save the DCR with that name. I would like to mimic the same behaviour in the java/servlet templating UI, and can't use FormAPI for that. Is there an API for the templating client?
I've had a look at OpenAPI, but it seems to be more for client apps accessing Teamsite through RMI.
Should I be utilising the <inline> tag? or a java callout maybe?

On a slightly unrelated note, I'm using <inline> to populate a hidden field in the same DCR from a database (using Perl DBI). This also works through the browser UI, but _not_ the Java UI, even though http://devnet.interwoven.com/site.fcgi/techlib/002152 states (at the bottom) that <inline can _only_ be used with the java UI or the servlet UI.

Any help on the above problems would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Dave

Please be aware that the Java-templating (not the servlet one, but the one you download onto the client machine) is in EOL. You can read the EOL notification here:

Hi Lissa,
Yes, I was aware that the Java UI was being EOLed. The problem is, we're developing on the current release, and our client prefers using the Java UI.
I didn't realise that the servlet and java based UIs were different. I'd presumed that they were interchangeable terms for the same thing. How is servlet based templating activated?

Cheers
