If you would like to get a list of existing Field ID's on a form you want to look to your ARServerUser object and use the method getListField. You would want to use the form and the constant Constants.AR_FIELD_TYPE_ALL leaving the 3rd parameter either non existent, or set it to 0

Be All: I'm using the 7.1 Java API to create a new field on a form. Before creating the field, I'd like to make sure a field with the same Field ID does not already exist. I found the isPresent() method of the Field object in the javadocs, but since a generic Field cannot be instantiated (must use CharacterField or IntegerField, etc), how do I use isPresent() to check for any type existing field with a given Field ID? Do I have to first check for an AttachmentField, then check for an AttachmentPoolField, then check for a CharacterField, etc? Sorry if this is a dumb question -- I'm new at this OO programming stuff.
