Hi Guys,

we have one requirement details are below, kindly give us some suggestions on implementation part.

I have to create one Compound or Document types in HIPPO, which should be ability to call REST api’s on demand to fetch list of values).

When USER adding above Compound or Document types to specific document USER should be able to select or search the String from the above list.

Hi Ganesh

Coming to point1  
you have to create one Compound or Document types in HIPPO, which should be ability to call REST api’s on demand to fetch list of values).  
using tools you can create rest call use bean writer it will create controller as well and use REST config to create rest  
example: [http://localhost:8080/site/rest/documents](http://localhost:8080/site/rest/documents) …  
inside controller add as per your need search feature.
