Help-Is 9ias a necessity even for client server deployment of forms6i

Hi
Is 9Ias a necessity even for client server deployment of forms6i using developerSuite. I have been told that Oracle no longer markets Forms Server?
Ganesh.

No for client server deployment you don't need iAS.
On the second issue Forms server (the bit of forms used to web deploy) is no longer sold stand-alone - it is part of the iAS suite.

Need Help for client - server - client question [Sockets]

Hi
I have read the http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/index.html tutorial and made this Knock Knock Application.
But now, I want that one client can view all the other clients which are connected to the server, and interract with a selected cleint over the server (client - server - client).
But I have no idea how to build such a registration concept?
A concrete hint (or link) how to realise this would be very helpful. I searched all the internet for examples, but I dont found a simple example.
Thanks in advance
greeds

wSam,
It appears that Sun considers RMI to be simpler, although less efficient than the alternative:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/ALT/sockets/
This article also talks about object serialization, which I am a fan of. Suppose that you want to send a data structure containing lots of information (like all connected users). You can actually pass an object (rather than text) across the network using ObjectOutputStream and receive it on the other end with ObjectInputStream. You might create your own Command class for passing objects between the client and server instead of using RMI. The Command class might hold flags that indicate which method should take place on the remote machine (i.e. send chess move command).

Use of servlet http tunneling for client server communication

Hello I am having a problem connecting a simple client applet to a server application. I can connect the two directly using sockets. However, when I try to connect the two via a servlet the input stream cannot be accessed. The application is purely for demonstration. Here is some of the source code
A servlet for http tunneling

Hi,
In your client you are trying to open OutputStream even though you are not using it.
So there are two solutions here.
1. If you dont need OutputStream your code shoud look like this
try {
// Step 1: Create a Socket to make connection.
display.setText( "Attempting connection\n" );
URL currentpage = getCodeBase();
String protocol = currentpage.getProtocol();
String host = currentpage.getHost();
int port = 8100;
String urlsuffix = "/servlet/SocketServlet";
URL dataurl = new URL( "http://localhost:8100/servlet/SocketServlet" );
connection = dataurl.openConnection();
//connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "application/octet-stream");
connection.setUseCaches( false );
display.append( "\nConnected to: " + host );
// Step 2: Get the output streams.
//output = new DataOutputStream(
//connection.getOutputStream() );
//display.append( "\n got output stream\n" );
display.append( "\n Not interested in output stream\n" );
//Step 3 Inpustream related
// Step 4: Close connection.
display.append( "Closing connection.\n" );
//output.close();
input.close();
1. If you need OutputStream, close your OutputStream before even trying to get InputStream, your code should like this
try {
// Step 1: Create a Socket to make connection.
display.setText( "Attempting connection\n" );
URL currentpage = getCodeBase();
String protocol = currentpage.getProtocol();
String host = currentpage.getHost();
int port = 8100;
String urlsuffix = "/servlet/SocketServlet";
URL dataurl = new URL( "http://localhost:8100/servlet/SocketServlet" );
connection = dataurl.openConnection();
//connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "application/octet-stream");
connection.setUseCaches( false );
display.append( "\nConnected to: " + host );
// Step 2: Get the output streams.
output = new DataOutputStream(
connection.getOutputStream() );
display.append( "\n got output stream\n" );
//I'll do whateve I've to do with outputstream
//done with output stream closing
output.close();
//Step 3 Inpustream related
// Step 4: Close connection.
display.append( "Closing connection.\n" );
//output.close();
input.close();
hope this works
all the best,
Raj

Tips for Client-Server project please...

I've written a few Java apps (some very simple, some not quite so simple) so far and I think I'm ready to begin tackling my big goal. I want to create a distributable client desktop application that will actually be very simple in functionality. I want the clients to be able to connect to a server (that I will also be creating) for authentication and then allow automated messages to be sent to other clients also connected to the network. I'd like any links to tutorials, libraries, and anything else that would help point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Actually, if you're on about clients sending messages to each other, then you're not really talking about client-server apps at all. You're veering off into JMS territory, maybe even ESB territory(but probably not). Have a butchers at ActiveMQ, and Camel, both from Apache, for that.
Either way, I wouldn't bother creating your own server, just use an existing one. Jetty's nice and lightweight, and easy to embed. You're about to say "I'd rather create my own" but it's a bothersome task that people far more skilled than you (and me, before you take offence) have already done much better than you ever will. Take advantage of that fact, and concentrate on the specifics of your own app.

Help needed on TCP/IP Multi-port Client-Server

Hi all, I am trying to develop a client-server application to stream some data over a few random port numbers (defined by myself) to stream data over to the TCP server (i.e another computer) in LabVIEW. So far, I have created my application using the NI examples for "Simple Data Client + Server" and it works fine. I also understand that the "TCP Listen" VI is only able to listen for 1 TCP connection only and a way around this is to use queueing idea to receive & process the incoming data.The downside to the idea is that the "base port" (i.e initial port) needs to be the same (on every TCP client) with the TCP Server and it is not fit for the purpose I intended.
Basically on the TCP server side, i need to chart/monitor the data on different port numbers that is being streamed real-time from the one TCP client computer. Is this possible in LabVIEW?
Can anyone (incl. NI gurus) advise and point me in the right direction?
*lost*
Solved!

Hi
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2739 Here you can download that component.But you can also use TCP icons which is available in Data Commmunications>Protocals>TCp for communication and to read and write data use variant to flattened string. I have attached a small example where i will transfer a constant string to the host PC to check the link between client and the server. Hope this helps you.

Framework for client-server Architecture in Java !!!! With swing

Hi,
Considering the scenario where we are having the Client-Server application and the rich clients at the client place , based on the frames.I have though of the logic as :
Client -----------> ClientComponentframeWorkObject(Genric Objects) ---------> reading the data from the configurable files to find where to take the user action ---------> will call the Servercomponetobject(Generic objects) can be Servlet or just a object which connects to the server(DB).I have been able to find the open-source frame work at the Apache ,all covering the server-side framework so i though of doing some work with the framework covering the client(swing) -server Archetect.Even I dont know how the existing server side framework support the swing client.
I would appericiate if someone who had worked on the client server requirement with java , could share the knowledge about the framework being used in the existing work.

Vicky

Hi,
GENERIC CLIENT COMPONENT:
package com.nst.clientcomp;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public abstract class ClientComp extends JFrame
protected JFrame currentframe;
protected JPanel panel;
public ClientComp()
     // To decide if the ClientComp to be Frame or the Panel.
    //panel=this;
    //currentframe=new JFrame();
    panel=new JPanel();
    currentframe=this;
// Just Concentrate on the GUI , look and feel here .......And the user action will generate
// generate the event which should call the callNextView()..The component developer have to
// concentrate on the writing the display() and the callNextView()..
public abstract void display() ;
// This is the Final action.Template Pattern being Called
public String action()
     readServerObj();
     processContent();
     display();
     return null;
   Reading of the value object which is being Passes from the Server.As per the Design it is
   called VOFS and will be read here.Here
   1) Connect to the Server
   2) Pass the VOFC through the socket connection
   3) Also obtain the VOFS(Value object from server)
   In certain application it can be implemented here
public Object readServerObj()
      System.out.println("Hello from ServerObj!!! Should be implemented ");
      return null;
   Processing the Sever Value Object, which is basically as VOFS.It is processed by the
   Client.And infact the Value object from Client(VOFC) should be generated here for next
   user interaction from the Client.
public void processContent()
      System.out.println("Hello from processContent !!! Should be implemented ");
// Clear the Frame
private void cleanUp()
     currentframe.dispose();
     Contains the place where next view takes.Before this is invoked the cache copy of the
     StateObject should be stored in the appropriate Data Structure......
public void callNextView(ClientComp com)
      panel.removeAll();
      com.action();
      cleanUp();
}   COMONENTS AS PER THE FRAMEWORK :
package com.nst.clientcomp;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Comp1 extends ClientComp implements ActionListener
JTextField t,t1;
//Default display , displaying the screen.This should be the abstract method
public void display()
    JLabel l=new JLabel("UserName");
    t=new JTextField(10);
    JLabel l1=new JLabel("Password");
    t1=new JPasswordField(10);
    t.setText("admin");
    t1.setText("admin");
    JButton b=new JButton("Login");
    b.addActionListener(this);
     panel.add(l);
     panel.add(t);
     panel.add(l1);
     panel.add(t1);
     panel.add(b);
     currentframe.getContentPane().add(panel);
     currentframe.setSize(400,400);
     currentframe.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String ar[]) throws Exception
     ClientComp c1 = (ClientComp)(Class.forName(ar[0])).newInstance();
     c1.action();
     System.out.println("Hello11");
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
     //Do someprocessing if required
     if(t.getText().equals("admin")&&t1.getText().equals("admin"))
     callNextView(new Comp2());
     else
      System.out.println("invalid login");
} Similarly you can develop the other components and you have to take care of the display() and the user action Event which eventually calls the callNextView.I hope there might be the cases where this has been implemented ..

Vicky

Best practice for client-server(Socket) application

I want to build a client-server application
1) On startup.. client creates connection to Server and keeps reading data from server
2) Server keeps on sending different messages
3) Based on messages(Async) from server client view has to be changed
I tried different cases ended up facing IllegalStateChangeException while updating GUI
So what is the best way to do this?
Please give a working example .
Thanks,
Vijay

        String[] ar = new String[changes.length];
        for(int i=0;i<changes.length;i++)
            if(changes!=null)
System.out.println(changes[i].getName());
ar[i] = changes[i].getName();
ol.addAll(ar);
ProxyServer.javaProxyServer
//Implements runnable
public void run()
     ......//code to read data from server
//make array of LobbyListModel[] ltm based on data from server
     fireLobbyModelChangeEvent(ltm);
void addLobbyModelChangeListener(LobbyModelsChangeListener aThis) {
this.lobbyModelsChangeListener = aThis;
     private void fireLobbyModelChangeEvent(LobbyListModel[] changes) {
LobbyModelsChangeListener listner

listner.updateLobby(changes);
Exception :
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not on FX application thread; currentThread = Thread-5
         at line         ol.addAll(ar);
But ListView is getting updated with new data...so not sure if its right way to proceed...

Pjc for client-server mode

hi,
i have been using pjc for customized text field and text area and have successfully implemented it on windows and sun solaris. we have used pjc for working in non english character set so that the user can directly type in the required character set without any supporting application to enable new keyboard mapping. but i have a serious problem.
these customized components work only on the webforms mode.i.e. on browser or applet. they dont work in the normal client server mode. is it possible that i can have them running in the normal runtime also. if yes then how and if not what is the work around for achieving the same without much effort.
awaiting a prompt reply.
thanks in advance,
regards,
Yousuf.
Delhi.

Dear Yousof,
I want to do the same thing that u'vve already acheived, I want to customize oracle forms texfields and instead of EXTENDING VTextfield I want to extend JTextfield and ofcourse implementing IView interface.
But I get problems, would u mind be kind enough to instruct me in doing that?
Best regrds,
Sasan

Can i use forms 9i or 10g for client/server applications

Right now, we are using oracle 9i DB and developer suite 10g. I have to build a client/server application. In one of the OTN articles, it says that from forms 9i onwards, it's not supporting client/server applications. Do i have to use 6i for this.
Thank You.
Sree.

That's right. Only web deployment is support from 9i onwards. Bad decision since Oracle seems to ignore their customer's view

Can i use forms 9i for client server applicaitons

Hi,
I have to build a client/server application.Right now, we are using oracle 9i and developer suite 10g. In one of the articles on OTN, it says that from forms 9i onwards, it's not supporting client/server model. Do i have to use 6i for this.
Thank you.
Sree.

The last Forms version that can be run in c/s mode is 6i.

JavaFX as a SaaS/ How good is it for Client-Server work?

I was under the impression that FX could be used to produce a Client-Server application as well as SaaS.
a member of another forum said "I'm sure you meant to say "Desktop". JavaFX will not be making inroads on the web as a client-side technology."
To which I said
There have been examples of FX used with EE
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/samples/index.html
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/overview/jfxpub-overview.htm
Sales Dashboard (DataApp)
DataApp is a client-server application for a fictional global automobile company called Henley Car Sales. Automobile sales are simulated on an EJB server using JavaDB, and the data is available via Derby and a RESTful web service. The client demonstrates a variety of data presentations by using a mix of FXML and JavaFX.
I thought originally that JavaFX was "Desktop" only also, until I found this example. I couldn't get it to run due to some weird Database line read issue that others also had. I'm not sure if this is now due to FX's integration, or if this was something new, but I believe I have seen another FX client-server app as well.
I'm not that familiar with the client-server side of Java yet, so if you have other Information I would like to know, because I am looking to design a Client-Server app with FX, and I don't see why it would be an issue, unless there are huge limitations."
He ended up saying "Those are still desktop apps. Sure, they are client-server in that they connect to a remote database. But they are still traditional fat-client apps rather than web-based thin-client SAAS web applications which, these days, most people will think of when you say "client".
My point is to be more precise when you use the word "client".
But if your point is just that JavaFX is taking over from Swing for the limited areas in which Swing is used, I have no insight into that area."
Now I don't really like attitudes when I get my question answered, but the high and mighty needs to stop. It clearly says Client-Server so I don't know why it's being denounced by this dude who thinks he obviously knows better.
Anyways he talks about it only being able to connect to a DB, to which it says it uses EE tech such as EBJ, Restful, and Derby, so that's more than just DB right(I don't know since I havent' learned that yet)?
It seems as if he's saying that only EE code can go up on a server? Or can SE code go up there as well?
I'm looking to design a SaaS software with FX, so if this isnt' possible I would like to know possible other options(or just having all of the gui work on the client, and the rest on the backend)???
Thanks!

This response is not a tutorial, I hope it gives you some verbiage to use in further searches.
SaaS to me means that the service is running on the server. If you have the server and permission to run java apps there then you can use Java FX by having the server shuttle requests to the Java FX app. But this is probably not the intent of Saas (it would be more appropriate to use a java implemented web service).
If you are using Netbeans then it is very easy to create demo projects; use "File/New Project" to run them on your local computer.
Example File/New Project/Java Web/Web Application will give you a hello world web site very quickly. This will 1) start either tomcat or glassfish as the server. 2) launch an html page with "hello world". then you can use java script to talk with the server via ajax. Using this approach you are going to need to study JSP or J2EE stuff.
After this is running you could start one of the Java Fx examples in Netbeans: File / New Project / Samples / WebViewBrowser. This will start a javaFX app that acts like a browser and runs on the client.
So, start the "hello world" app in netbeans by right clicking it in the project pain and selecting "debug". Then start the webviewBrowser app the same way to load that web page that has "hello world" in it as all browsers do. In the WebviewBrowser (which is java fx) you can get at the javascript in the web page and do all kinds of stuff. You'll need to search for webviewBrowser examples.
The above all assumes a Netbeans solution. But, as you probably know, there are no rules. The server can be in C++ and the client in C (or any other language). The server and client usally communicate via http or tcp. So you could have a server written in java (maybe J2ee or you can rewrite a http server from scratch which isn't that hard - search for "HttpServletRequest and HttpSession" ) and the client can be in Java FX (where the Java FX talks directly with the server via http (no javascript or web page in the middle) again there are probably hundreds of libraries to talk to a http server).
I use HttpServletRequest and HttpSession on the server side with MySQL and xml. On the client I use javaScript but I am moving to a strictly Java FX solution. This will give me close to 100% java on both sides and for my purposes this will work. (I may need a little html in the middle for drag and drop installation.) I am hoping that work continues with porting Java FX to most devices: Android, IOS, WinPhone. It is already on Linux, Windows Desktops and Mac.

MUDE for client-server configuration

I can easily connect from a client remotely to a server hosting OBIEE, by creating a ODBC system DSN that points to
the server, and choosing this DSN from the list of available DSN from Administration => file => open => online. works
perfectly
When I configure projects at OBIEE server as a Multiuser Development Environment, I can not connect from a client remotely to a server. Administration => file => nultiuser => checkout does not give me an option to choose the system DSN for remote server
Can someone clarify steps to configure MUDE in a client-server environment
Thanks

Amrita,
In the article by Venkat, that you referred to in your response , I read the article, I have a few questions
1. When I install OBIEE, the Master Repository automatically created at the c:\OracleBi\server\Repository directory
When you create projects, they are created in the Master Repository.
Do I then copy the master repository to Shared Network directory, ex. N:\SharedRepository
2. When i start the AdminTool from the client m/c, how will the client knows to connect the remote server
I have not gotten to this part yet, just want to clarify, if any configuration necessary on the client side,
before file => Multiuser => checkout
Thanks

Client - Server Deployment

Good day everyone!
I've got this scenario hoping some kind souls will spend some time explaining in details the steps for achieving it.
1) I've got a J2EE server running in Machine A. (Server)
2) Machine B, C, D does NOT have j2ee installed, they only runs on jdk. (Clients)
3) I've created 3 different application clients for use with the 3 machines
4) I've successfully ran the 3 different application clients on the (Server) locally using runclient.bat
5) Now I need to provide, a direct and simple deployment for all the clients that does not have j2ee installed.
Question:
1) How do I create a .bat or .sh file for the clients to execute the application?
2) What are ALL the necessary .jar files to be included, eg. SimpleAppClient.jar returned after server deployment, j2ee.jar and what else??????
3) What are the necessary config files to be transferred?
Thanks.

A relevant answer stolen from the [email protected] mailing list:

From: Kenneth Saks <[email protected]>
Subject: Re: connecting to a remote EJB
Ron, "have I got a deal for you!!! ..." It's a new component type called an
Application Client that was created specifically to address j2ee CLIENT
portability. You can get details on it in the J2EE and EJB specs. (
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/docs.html )
Basically, it's similar to a normal client except that your "public static
void main(String args[])" method is invoked from a container. The application
client container is similar to the containers for ejb components and web
components, but has fewer responsibilities. It performs authorization and
sets up the client's environment. So, all the environment types you know and
love ( environment entries, ejb-links, resource references ) are accessed from
an application client in EXACTLY the same way as in ejbs or web components.
This means the container must support the no-arg InitialContext constructor.
Furthermore, you use the java:comp/env namespace to look up the Home interface.
E.g.
import hello*;
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.rmi.*;
public static void main(String args[]) {
Context ic = new InitialContext();
// create EJB using factory from container
// java.lang.Object objref = ic.lookup("helloApp/Hello"); // old way
java.lang.Object objref = ic.lookup("java:comp/env/MyEjbReference");
HelloHome home = (HelloHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(
objref, HelloHome.class);
// do something ...
So, according to the official J2EE spec, there is no such thing as a
stand-alone client. All clients are Application Clients that do Home lookups
via the ejb-link mechanism, which insulates the code from vendor-specific
differences.
Now the bad news... as far as I know, only the J2EE reference
implementation supports application clients right now. So until then, you
need to have code in your client that handles any vendor-specific
InitialContext setup. You also need to roll your own mechanism to avoid
hard-coding the JNDI names. Most j2ee products will probably still support
"stand-alone" clients in some way. However, the J2EE will not address
stand-alone client issues since it recommends Application Clients.
Hope that helps a bit. The Application Client was a relatively late
addition to J2EE. Lots of people don't know about it yet. Hope this helps.
