9iAS using 9iDS Forms servlet

On my single machine, I am not interested in installing the infrastructure. I have 9iDS installed and I can run my forms app through my 9iDS supplied OC4J, port 8888. No prob.
I want a simple way to run SSL with my forms app. My idea is install 9iAS (HTTP server, J2EE option) and have it front end my OC4J to more easily (than making OC4J do ssl) accomplish this.
Can this work? If so, what are my steps?
I tried modifying my oracle_apache file to point to my 9iDS forms servlet with a line like
#Forms Servlet
include "c:\oracle_9i\forms90\server\forms90.conf"
My 9iAS is in a separate oracle home.

Frank,
the Business Intelligence and Forms requires the 9iAS Infrastructure. As I indicated, I do not (gave up after trying for 2 weeks to install) have or want the infrastructure.
I understand that J2EE provides HTTP server capability, but the effort to configure SSL would be easier with 9iAS than dinking with the OC4J xml and configuring keys, etc.
So, I have 9iAS (no infrastructure) and 9iDS on the same machine. I noticed that 9iDS uses port 8888 and default 9iAS uses 7777 base. I am still trying. I am going to try a virtual host for my apache to 9iDS.
Oh, I did get 9iAS to create and manage my Oracle9iDS OC4J instance. Now the trick is actually executing through it. Then I will turn on SSL.
SUGGESTIONS STILL WELCOME!!

tt

9iAS and 9iDS Forms

Hi,
I've install Oracle 9iAS and 9iDS on one pc, both as default, just different home.
I've made simple Form, but I can't run it.
Browser show me next message : "The page cannot be displayed"
1. What I have to run and configure?
2. Is it good idea to use 9iAS and 9iDS on one pc?
Thank you

To start off, just work with iDS - so to run your form in that case you need to manually start OC4J - use the option in the Start menu for this -
Oracle 9i Developer Suite -> Forms Developer -> Start OC4J Instance
By default, that OC4J will be listening on port 8888,
so your url would be something like:
HTTP://<yourmachine>:8888/forms90/f90servlet?form=myform

9iDS Forms - Cannot Run Forms In Forms Builder

Attempting to run and test a form using 9iDS Forms Builder, only get a blank screen. Any suggestions ???

Kevin,
please check if the Jinitiator version that you have installed on your machine matches with the classid setting in the formsweb.cfg file (forms90/server/formsweb.cfg). Internet Explorer has zero tolerance.

How to use oracle forms(.fmx) in a servlet

Hi,
I am using tomcat application server for developing my web application.I have some forms which are designed in oracle-d2k(.fmx).
Clients wants that instead of designing new GUI, use .fmx form for displaying on the web. Can i use .fmx form inside a java servlet.
If it is possible, then plz tell me how to do it.
Thanks in advance

that solution is not working, Is there any other idea
to do it.How about posting what's not working in the other thread? I mean, completely regardless of the fact that you should be asking Oracle's support for your questions about their product.

Help - using Form Servlet (6i)

Hi All,
been trying to configure the forms listener servlet based on the white paper.
When I opened the http://myserver/servlet/f60servlet, it showed the following messages:
"Oracle Forms 6i Servlets
The Forms Listener servlet is up and running.
The servlet administration page has been moved to"f60servlet/admin", where "f60servlet" is the alias you defined for the Forms Servlet (class oracle.forms.servlet.FormsServlet) ... etc.."
Then, if I tried to open my simple application with only one form as follows:
http://myserver/servlet/f60servlet?config=test
the webpage still showed the above messages.
Previously I could run this app using forms CGI: http://myserver/cgi-bin/ifcgi60.exe?config=test
How to solve the problem?
Thanks

The code fragment below shows how to send a POST method to a servlet URL.
Write down this code in ur first servlet. to post data to some servlet in other application
// connect to the servlet
String location = "http://www.foo.com/servlet/servlet2";
URL testServlet = new URL( servletLocation );
URLConnection servletConnection = testServlet.openConnection();
// inform the connection that we will send output and accept input
servletConnection.setDoInput(true);
servletConnection.setDoOutput(true);
// Don't use a cached version of URL connection.
servletConnection.setUseCaches (false);
servletConnection.setDefaultUseCaches (false);
// Specify the content type that we will send binary data
servletConnection.setRequestProperty
("Content-Type", "<insert favorite mime type>");
// get input and output streams on servlet
// send your data to the servlet

9iDS forms 9i gif icons won't display

I have been on metalink and have yet to get a ggod answer on how to make my gif icons appear on my forms in 9iDS Forms 9i. I am on adevelopment machine and have modified my %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\j2ee\orion-web.xml by addidng the folling lines:
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/webicons"
real-path="d:\webicons" />
Then I modified %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\java\forms\registry\registry.dat file to read:
default.icons.iconpath=/webicons/
default.icons.iconextension=gif
and I've tried
default.icons.iconpath=/webicons
default.icons.iconextension=gif
and I've tried
default.icons.iconpath=webicons/
default.icons.iconextension=gif
My %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\server\formsweb.cfg reads:
imageBase=DocumentBase
I was told to remove imageBase=DocumentBase from %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\server\basejini.htm but I only found:
<PARAM NAME="imageBase" VALUE="%imageBase%">
imageBase="%imageBase%"
in that file. But, even commenting on or the other or both did not yield positive results.
After each modification to the above files I made sure that I closed the browser and stopped and re-started the OC4J Instance before opening the browser.
Once again, I am doing this on a development computer with all files on that computer and I am NOT deploying any of this to 9iAS.
What is wrong?
TIA,
Ed.

Ed,
You're right, there's no reason that you must use the jar file method. For testing, it makes sense to use your images "as is".
I think I see the problem with your config. You should always do this test to to verify that you can see your icons before running your Form: look at your icon in a browser.
You said that you modified %ORACLE_HOME%\forms90\j2ee\orion-web.xml and created the following virtual path:
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/webicons" real-path="d:\webicons" />Restart your OC4J listener, and see if you can see the icon in your browser:
http://host:port/[color=red]forms90[color]/webicons/someicon.gif
I bet you can. That's because you edited the orion-web.xml for Forms, which affects everything under the /forms90/ path. That is, host:port/forms90/ is the document root to that orion-web.xml. This is perfectly ok, but in your registry.dat, you need to put in the full thing:
default.icons.iconpath=/[color=red]forms90[/color]/webiconsIf you want to do it the "normal" way, modify the following:
%ORACLE_HOME%\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\application-deployments\default\defaultWebApp\orion-web.xml
This is the xml file for the base web listener. Now you can see the icon in your browser:
http://host:port/webicons/someicon.gif
which will let you use the following in your Registry.dat file:
default.icons.iconpath=/webiconsSee, I told you that you were close!

How do I get 9ias to recognize my servlets?

Hi,
How do I get my 9ias to recognize my servlets? I have modifed my jserv.properties to define the location of my properties file :
# Configuration file for each servlet zone (one per servlet zone)
# Syntax: [servlet zone name as on the zones list].properties=[full path to configFile] (String)
# Default: NONE
# Note: if the file could not be opened, try using absolute paths.
root.properties=/opt/app/oracle/product/9i/Apache/Jserv/etc/zone.properties
cmedia.properties=/opt/app/oracle/product/9i/Apache/Jserv/etc/cmedia.properties
Modified jserv.conf to mount my servlets:
ApJServMount /servlets /root
ApJServMount /servlet /root
ApJServMount /cmedia/servlets ajpv11://cmprod.md.essd.northgrum.com/cmedia
And created a zone properties file specifing the location of my repositories
repositories=/usr2/local/cmedia/servlets
What else do I have to do to get Apache/Jserv to recognize my servlets?
Is it necessary to stop/start apache/jserv for this to happen?
Art

If these are new Servlets, check to make sure they are Jservlet Spec 2.0 and below. Any servlet developed in Jdev 3.2 will not work on iAS 1.0.x. If your servlet sticks to spec 2.0 and you are using iAS 1.0.2.2, you must use ApJServGroupMount rather than *Mount as 1022 has some new jserv balancing built in.

Run same 9i forms servlet in different browser windows

Hi all,
I'm using Oracle9iAS Forms Service to deploy the forms. The problem that I have, is that I'm not able to run the same forms 9i servlet in two different browser windows.
I'm able to run the 9i test form with the following URL in browser window one: http://HOST:PORT/forms90/f90servlet
When I then try to run the same URL in a second browser window I get the following error:
FRM-92050: Failed to connect to the Server: /forms90/l90servlet:-1

Java Exception:
oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Connection from new browser window not supported
I'm using Jinitiator 1.3.1.9 to run the forms.

Should I use JSP,JSTL,SERVLETs without a framework?

Hi Guys
I'm making a multi player browser game. The game will have some forms to setup data into the database and the player will be able to check other players data.
I will load the players data from the DB into a Bean when the application starts and then just get the other players information from DB when and if asked.
I'm planing on doing it as MVC2 using JSP, JSTL, SERVLETs, BEANs
Would you recommend me to use Struts for example? should I just use it without any framework?
I read a lot about Struts and can't really see what it can bring to an application like mine. I can use the i18n easily with JSTL and for few validation of forms I don't know if it's worth it.
What do you think? (-:
Thanks in advance
(-:

If your going to use MVC2 then I would use a framework, otherwise where are you going to get your MVC from, were you planning on writing an MVC yourself?

Post without using a form.

Hello,
The below HTML would post the form data to the made up address:
"http://www.something.com/index.php" when the the user clicks the submit button that says "Log in". Assume that the above address is on another server.
<form method="post" action="http://www.something.com/index.php">
<input type="text" name="user" value="" size="10" maxlength="10" />
<input type="password" name="pass" value="" size="10" maxlength="10" />
<input type="submit" name="button" value="Log in" />
</form>
But if my JSP already knows the form data (usersname and password), how can my JSP post the info to another website e.g. "http://www.something.com/index.php" without having to bring up a form. Is there some code that I can just use to do post without using a form?
Cheers,
Lloyd.

forward forwards to the page, which has to be a JSP or servlet in the same server. It's internal to the server, the browser will have no idea it's happening.
URLConnection supports POST. There are examples around the forums. Yes, you'd have to parse the responding HTML to know what happened.
URLConnection urlConn = new URL("...").openConnection();
if(urlConn instanceof HttpURLConnection) {
HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection)urlConn;
httpConn.setRequestMethod("POST");
urlConn.setDoInput(true);
urlConn.setDoOutput(true);
urlConn.setUseCaches(false);
urlConn.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(urlConn.getOutputStream(), "UTF-8"));
out.println("name=value&name=value&...");
out.flush();
out.close();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConn.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));
// read from in.

9iDS Forms/Reports Help

Hi All,
Can some one help me out ...
I installed 9iDS on my Windows 2000 PC and able to run my FORMS .
But I'm not able to run my Reports from the FORM . I used RUN_REPORT_OBJECT
to run reports and it works fine in Forms6i and shows report in another window .
Is there any configuration needs to be done in order to Run reports
from FORMS in 9iDS ?.
Also I'm able to access my FORMS remotely in my network with the browser using 9iDS
machine URL (Which is my PC).Can I do the same and run my Reports from FORM remotley too ?
Cause we need to do a demo for our managers to get approval for Oracle Software .
Thanks in advance,
Sampath

Steven,
just for a test: put the Report module into the <IDS Home>\Reports\samples\demo directory and reference it in teh Forms Reports node by its name only (no path information). If you run this then the Reports Server should find teh module because the path mentioned above by default is set in theReports_Path variable.
Does your physical path to the Reports rdf file contain blanks like in c:\program files\reports ?
Is there a reason why you execute the Reports twice
rep := RUNREPORT_OBJECT(repid);
report_job_id := run_report_object(repid);

Host a custom form on E-Business Suite Forms Servlet

Hi.
Is it possible to host my own form using the Forms engine integrated with E-Business Suite?. is this a good idea? or do i have to setup another forms servlet?
I'm trying it with one form with a menu. I just Copied the mmx files and fmx files where all the fmx files of EBS suite reside. or do i need to recompile it inside linux forms compiler (adadmin) using .pll plx, fmb files?
I manually type the url "domainname.com:8000/dev60cgi/f60cgi?formname.mmx?user=username?password=password"
where user, password = database user (not apps user)
when i did this, it still launched the applet but still goes to the main form of EBS? and the custom form doesn't get called..
regards,
anton

I think you can do it.
Should look in appsweb.cfg configuration file. usaually in $COMMON_TOP/html/bin
; 1) Runform Arguments
; The module argument defines the first form to be started.
; It is composed from parameters %prodTop%/forms/%lang%/%formName%
; The default looks like $APPL_TOP/fnd/<version>/forms/US/FNDSCSGN
; Following parameters and prodTop are used for composing module.
; Note: Personal Home Page modifies the lang setting automatically.
formName=FNDSCSGN
lang=US
Forms servlet is just a mechanism to start the f60webmx processes on the application server (which also has the Forms listener servlet). So you will not need a seperate servlet in your case.
