Requirements
·     Download Jacob 1.8 archive and webutil  1.06
(Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip 
   and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
webutil can be downloaded from http://otn.oracle.com )
Database  Setup
     Login as SYS
      create user webutil identified by webutil
              default tablespace users
                  temporary tablespace temp;
     grant connect, create session, create procedure, create public synonym to webutil;
     grant resource, connect to webutil;
     grant execute on dbms_lob to   webutil;
     login as webutl user  and  run
     create_webutil_db.sql
     create public synonym webutil_db for webutil.webutil_db;     
     grant execute on webutil_db to public;
          set serveroutput on
declare
    a  boolean;
begin
    a:=webutil_db.closeblob(1);
    If a then
        dbms_output.put_line('webutil/blob setup '||'TRUE');
    else
        dbms_output.put_line(' webutil/blob setup  '||'FALSE');
    end if;
end;
copy jacob.jar and copy  frmwebutil.jar  to ORACLE_HOME/forms/java directory.
    Make sure you can download these using the below
     http://machinename.com/forms/java/jacob.jar
     http://machinename.com/forms/java/frmwebutil.jar  
Create  directory webutil under [OraHome]/forms/webutil and .
       copy jacob.dll , JNIsharedstubs.dll, d2kwutil.dll
       Check the permissions. Read /Execute
Forms.conf   AliasMatch ^/forms/webutil/(..*)      
$ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil/$1"
          http://machinename.com/forms/webutil/jacob.dll 
          http://machinename.com/forms/webutil/JNIsharedstubs.dll
          http://machinename.com/forms/webutil/d2kwutil.dll  
In the  default.env update
     WEBUTIL_CONFIG=/opt/oracle/product/10gas/forms/server/webutil.cfg
       CLASSPATH=c:\temp\webutil\lib\frmwebutil.jar;c:\"Program      Files"\Java\j2re1.4.2_06\lib\rt.jar  (Include rt.jar)
     Also include  C:\Dev10g\forms\java\ frmall.jar

Sign jacob.jar ( Not mandatory )
   Open a DOS command prompt.
   Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
      set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
   Sign the file, and check the output for success:
      [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
[Previously this point stated that frmwebutil.jar also needed to be signed. This is no longer necessary and should not be done.]
Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
   Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
   If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
   full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
Create a new FMB.
       Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
        There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
        Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
         Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
               show_webutil_information (TRUE);
   in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
        Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
   Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
            the "Application Server URL" is empty.
   Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
     http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
Compile the webutil.pll and attach it to the fmb. Compile it
Debugging
Clear the browser cache and enable the jinitator / sun java plugin.
For Sun Java Plugin
Start ->Settings ->Control –Panel->Java->Advanced ->Show Java Console
Debugging  ->Select All
              Clear the plugin cache and once again access the URL. Make sure all the dlls,jar files
are getting downloaded.

Frm-40735 when-custom-item-event triger raised unhandled exception ora-06508
Cause
Ported webutil to Unix . The form appears , but when a call is made to webutil
functions, it resulted in the above error .The reason was PLL was not compiled
on unix .
Reference
Metalink Note 418970.1 ORA-06508 When Starting Webutil
Read / Write - image file
The code was not erroring out, but the image was not getting copied in the
image item .
Cause
transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot=<name of the temp directory >
transfer.appsrv.accessControl=TRUE was not specified in the webutil.cfg file
The root of the location in which WebUtil can store temporary files
uploaded from the client.
While Writing Image file ( remember its the client to which the image
is written to ).
Example
client_image.write_image_file('d:\myimg\','GIF','CTRL.MY_IMG',
maximize_compression,     original_depth);
Then ensure that on the thin client , there exist a directory  called as "myimg" in the D drive .
One should watch out for the error in the console or the log depending on how
the logging has been set to .In case if the directory does not exist on the
client message appears that cannot create a file ...
These are the steps that occurs -
1) WebUtil creates a working directory that is private to the user
  on the applciation server using the value of transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot
  This is that <ipaddress>\<ntuser name> directory
2) The basic forms Write Image file is used to extract a temporary copy
   of the image into that  directory.
3) The image is downloaded into the client machine and saved as the name
   that you specified as the filename in the write_image_file command.
4) The temporary copy of the image held in the workAreaRoot on the Appserver
   is cleaned up.
4) Client_host - The  command is supposed to run the executable on the client .
   But if you are trying to call an exe which is not in the path , you will not
   get any error.
Error Message while opening the fmb in the forms builder
Add jacob.jar and frmwebutil.jar  to CLASSPATH or FORMS_BUILDER_CLASSPATH ... otherwise there is an error message when opening the canvas in the new created fmb
{code}
hope this helps u.
