J2EE and Oracle Forms

Hi,
I'm going to develop a Web Application, one of the requirements is to use a the Java Programming Language and Oracle Database Engine.
I have read a lot of OTN Documentation about the Oracle Forms Web capabilities, and I read about the collaboration between Oracle Forms and J2EE Applicatons.
Does anybody have a link (from a Third-Party Vendor different from Oracle) containing the pros and cons of Oracle Forms (Web enabled) and a really J2EE application?
Any comment is appreciated.

  • Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

    Hi,
    Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
    I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
    I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
    On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
    forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
    My configuration is:
    Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
    Formsbuilder 6
    If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
    With regards,

  • Java Middle Tire and Oracle Form

    Hi
    can I call some methods from Middle tire based on java/j2ee from Oracle form 10g or oracle form 9i?

    Suhaib,
    check the online help or otn.oracle.com/products/forms --> collateral for the JavaImporter feature. There also exist demos on OTN that show how to use this feature.
    Yes, it works.

    I am running vista, and have the latest version of the dev suite. Does anybody know how I can fix this problem?

    You cannot use Internet Explorer on Windows Vista to run Web Forms.
    <p>But you CAN run web forms through Netscape or Firefox. But you first need to disable Java in the browser.
    <p>And to run OC4J on Vista, you need to set its compatibility mode to Windows XP.
    <p>See my notes on OC4J and "Browser Settings" in this thread:<br>

  • How to add a new font into Report Builder and Oracle Forms/Reports Server?

    Hi,
    I've searched the forum and can't find this being discussed.
    My developers run Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on their XP laptops.
    Their reports run (in production) on Oracle Forms/Reports Server 10.1.2.0.2.
    This server runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
    They've got a client who wants reports using the "Garamond Western" font.
    So....how do I get this font onto the developer's Report Builder laptops, and onto the Oracle Forms/Reports Server?
    I've moved various 'Garamond' fonts into C:\WINDOWS\FONTS on both the laptops and the server, but neither seem to recognize it.
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks.
    This answers 1/2 of my question.
    The developer can now use Report Builder on his laptop, with the new fonts.
    But when he moves this new Report to the Oracle Application Server/Forms-Reports Server, it fails to use the new fonts.
    The Oracle App Server/Forms-Report Server is Version 10.1.2.0.2. It runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
    I have installed the exact same fonts on this server, into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
    I have used REGEDIT to change REPORTS_PATH....and placed C:\WINDOWS\Fonts; as the first value in this field.
    I have then stopped and restarted the Forms-Reports Server.

  • Bug in Oracle Outlook Connector 10,1,1,0,2 (1431) and Oracle Forms 6i Rel 2

    Hello,
    I installed Oracle Outlook Connector. 10,1,1,0,2 (1431)
    We are using Oracle Collaboration Suite on a 10g database.
    On the Desktop.
    I am using.
    a) MS/OFFICE Outlook 2003.
    b) Oracle Forms and Reports 6i Release 2.
    c) Oracle instance client 10.1
    d) Windows XP HOME SP2.
    What happens?
    1) Oracle Run Time Forms 6i and Oracle/MS Outlook 2003 run fine(Work) when I run them ONE AT A TIME!
    2) When I run them together(At the same time) I receive this error message. FRM-40735 ORA-06508.
    I have narrowed it down to an Oracle Connector 10g problem.
    How did I do that?
    In XP Home you can create multi-user accounts.
    I created a new user account this time I connected to Microsoft Exchange Server 2000.
    Results. Oracle runtime 6i works at the same time as MS Outlook 2003.
    I am able to use both Programs at the same time. Without any error messages.
    Next Step.
    I created a new user account and this time I used an Oracle Connector 10.1g for MS Outlook 2003.
    Results: Same error message as before. Ran the application(s) at the same time. FRM-40735 and ORA-06508
    Please help with any ideas.
    Thank you
    Dennis

    The product managers look through the forum threads periodically. Some more regularly than others. Since I only look at the forum about once a week, I'm probably the least regular of the PMs. Development also scans the forum, but less regularly.
    If you have urgent issues that requires action/response from Oracle, it is better to open an SR with Oracle Support.
    Hope that helps,

  • Oracle 9i and Oracle Forms 6i in 2 different Oracle-Homes

    My OS: Windows XP
    First I installed "Oracle9i Database 9.2.0.1.0" with Oracle-Home-Path "OraHome92".
    Then I wanted to install "Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release 2", because I need to use the Form Builder. I wasn't able to install this in the same Oracle-Home, so I installed it with a new one called "oradev". Now my Oracle Installation-Folder looks like this:
    -oracle
    ---admin
    ---ora92 (comment: HOME 0)
    ---oradata
    ---oradev (comment: HOME 1)
    Working with the database directly works fine, with Enterprise Manager I created a user, database and my first tables. No problems there.
    But now I do have a problem: When I try to connect to my database with Form Builder, I get the following error message:
    ORA-12154: TNS:Der Dienstname konnte nicht aufgelöst werden.
    In english it should be this:
    ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name.
    I guess the problem might be the two different oracle-homes?!??
    Does anybody have an idea how I can connect to my database with Form Builder?

    How can I do that?Use Oracle Net8 Easy Config utility (Windows menu).
    I try to connect with the user I created with
    Enterprise Manager.When you connect to DB you use a username, a password, and a connection string. The last one (a TNS alias) is necessary because you're working in a different Oracle Home, it's the same as you were on a different machine.

  • Doubt with Windows and Oracle Forms 10G and 11g

    Hi
    I have some doubts in installing Oracle Client on Windows.
    a)Can we install Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g client on Windows 7?
    b)Can we install Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g client on Windows XP?
    c)If we have an Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g, can it connect to a 10g Server?
    d)If we have an Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g Client, can it connect to an 11g Server?
    Please, Can any one help me in this????

    a)yes it can be installed on win7, may have some issues on 64bit systems but they're solvable
    b)11g had some problems with windows 2000, but didn't see mention of any problems on XP
    c)if you mean a database server then yes - i managed to connect 11g to an 8i database, so v10 should not be a problem. If you mean a forms/reports server..well newer forms/reports builder might not want to run old forms/reports and vice versa, but I don't see the point of operating on the same files from different versions. You can still load old form/report source files with a newer builder and recompile them to run on the new server.
    d) the "client" is effectively your web browser with a java plugin, unless I misunderstood your question. What version was a form/report compiled with should not be an issue.

  • Microsoft Access and Oracle Forms

    Hello All,
    I have a requirement pertaining to fetching data from Microsoft Access Tables from an Oracle Form and posting that data in an oracle Database 9i eventually.The exact entities from Access Databse needs to be replicated with data upload through Forms9i...
    Please send me the technology aspects of this and an insight how this can be achieved...
    Regards,
    Kapil Uppal

    Kapil,
    If I remember well, there exists a database migration assistant to turn Access databases to Oracle.
    However, Forms9i no longer has an Oracle Call Adapter (OCA)component which would be required to make Forms9i work with ODBC databases. Oracle's database connect strategy is to use gateways instead.
    Removing OCA could be a hot topic to discuss, but the decision made was based on the assumption that Forms9i is Web only and therefore no client side databases are used.
    Not sure if Microsoft Access allows you to perform JDBC connects, as this would be an option to get data into Oracle Forms (requires some coding though).

  • Best Practices for BI, ADF and Oracle Forms installations on Weblogic

    Hi, I'm researching options on upgrading to Oracle 11g Middleware. My company currently has Oracle Forms 10g running on Oracle Application Server.
    We are interested in using Oracle Forms 11g, ADF and Jdeveloper, and Business Intelligence with Oracle's Weblogic 10.3.5.
    Is there any whitepapers or documentation on best practices for installing alll of these components together?
    For instance, can ADF ( with JSF 2.x ) be installed in the same domain as Oracle Forms 11g but use different managed servers?
    Will Business Intelligence need to be in a seperate Oracle Home with it's own weblogic installation? I spend a lot of time trying to get the JSF upgraded to 2.x in the Business Intelligence installation and could not get it to work.
    I know it's a pretty broad question but thank you for any direction on this.

    Thanx for the reply! I read through the documents and they are very good at explaining how to install the different components individually. I still can't find much on installing them together. I hope it's not just going to be a trial and error thing.
    So far I've installed done the following successfully:
    Installed 10.3.5 weblogic
    Forms and Reports 11g on top of 10.3.5
    I've created an additional managed server for our ADF applications.
    My next step is upgrading the JSF to 2.x. I would have to stage patches 12917525 and 12979653. I'm afraid it will break the forms and reports though. Any ideas?

  • Integration of BIP and Oracle Forms

    Hi Gurus
    I have been referring to a whitepaper 'How to integrate Oracle BI Publisher via Web Services in Oracle Forms' version 2.2
    It mentions about using version Oracle Forms 10.1.2.3 and Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.3.4
    I am using Oracle Forms 10.1.2.0.2 and JDeveloper 10.1.2.1.0
    Do these versions support integration of BIP 10.1.3.4 with Oracle Forms 10.1.2.0.2 via Web Services?
    If yes, is there any document which details the steps?
    Thanks and kind regards,
    Aparna

    Hi,
    you do not have to go on ETL route, unless there are other initiative towards warehouse. you can check fusion intelligence implementation document to see how to configure instanceconfig.xml file and other implementation details to take advantage of BI with EBS.

  • Difference between Oracle Application Express and Oracle Forms/Reports

    hi guys,
    i have just use oracle apex to create some report generation tools through the web. know that this is what is known as html db in the past.
    however, i have not really touch oracle forms and reports before, neither have i really seen how they work.. but soemhow i feel oracle report/forms seems to be more.. then this oracle apex.
    it includes integration with web services, java and pl/sql .
    but i still cant really figure out what is the actual general main difference ?
    is it that for oracle forms there can be some programming logic inside , whereas for apex , it is just using what is available from what oracle provides ..
    i am read oracle form white paper, but seriously, i am not a very web guy. it has alot of components that i am not familiar with.
    so i hope you guys can just give me a more general rough idea.
    regards,
    Noob.

    Hi, my .05$
    ... most Forms & Reports users will tend to be old installed base customers using applications developed many years ago in F&R such as insurance company cores and even banking cores. Going from client/server F&R6 to "web" F&R10g is costly as you have to license an application server and most likely need to migrate to recent versions of the DB in case the customer is still on oracle 8 (common occurrence). So many customers opt. to not migrate or to simply invest in new web enabled solutions.
    Using the migration tool f&r installed base will have an easier job of migrating and at a price of whatever DB edition they are using and probably be able to do it with the same people who maintain their f&r systems provided they learn a bit about web technologies.
    what might be interesting to see is performance perception of users on f&r vs. apex...
