To be clear, I just need to provide the form so that the Java API can intercept it and not actually process it?

David,

    1. a parameter indicating that the website should provide 'Install' buttons wherever possible
    2. a parameter containing the MPC wizard state, an opaque value to be passed back to the MPC wizard via the 'Install' button

Everything looks good, when you have declared these variable names can you let me know what I should be looking for.                                           

 

Ø       Pressing the 'Install' button will cause a form submission that includes the selected solution's node id in a parameter and the original MPC wizard state in a second parameter.

Is there a particular reason your doing a form submission here?  Would a _javascript_ call be just as good?

The MPC is going to intercept calls using Java APIs, so a form submission is needed.  I'm not sure if it requires GET or POST, I'll let you know.

I can send JSON or XML in an ajax response if you want as well.
