Configuration problem running webutil demo form WU_TEST_106

Question

Hi,
I am running the web util demo form from OTN, it works ok till I access the OLE tab and try to write some text to a *.doc file.
The java console spits out this text:

I followed the steps layed out for configuring webutil in the users guide, I suspect the problem is related to signing the jacob.jar file.
I signed jacob.jar using $ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil/sign_webutil.bat, I made sure ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin was in PATH.
I received these warning/errors at this point
Generating a self signing certificate for key=webutil2...
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Key pair not generated, alias <webutil2> already exists
There were warnings or errors while generating a self signing certificate. Please review them.

jarsigner: attempt to rename d:\oracle\Product\dev10gR2suite\forms\java\jacob.jar to d:\oracle\Product\dev10gR2suite\forms\java\jacob.jar.orig failed
I am running forms 10.1.2. How do I resolve this problem.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Well, I think the problem is a permission issue or there is a problem finding the correct files. Let me explain:
1. The first error is expected. Read it carefully and consider what you did to this point.
Generating a self signing certificate for key=webutil2...
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Key pair not generated, alias <webutil2> already exists
This is expected because the alias was already created when signing frmwebutil.jar. Since the alias only needs to be created one time, this is expected and can be ignored.
2. The second error is your real issue:
jarsigner: attempt to rename d:\oracle\Product\dev10gR2suite\forms\java\jacob.jar to d:\oracle\Product\dev10gR2suite\forms\java\jacob.jar.orig failed
My suggestion:
1. Delete all jacob files including any which may have been renamed.
2. Re-download the correct Jacob version as noted in the WebUtil and Forms documentation. Do NOT attempt to use a newer version as it will cause a failure.
3. Copy the jacob.jar file in the same directory which contains the cortousy signing script (batch) Oracle provides.
4. Ensure that you have (Windows) Administrative permissions on the machine.
5. Open a DOS shell and change directories (cd) to the directory which contains the signer script.
6. Set the PATH to include the JDK\bin. For example:
SET PATH=d:\oracle\Product\dev10gR2suite\jdk\bin;%PATH%
7. Execute the jarsigner script.
sign_webutil jacob.jar
As already mentioned you can ignore messages which suggest that the alias already exists. However, pay attention to any others.
8. Assuming it works correctly, copy jacob.jar to ..\forms\java
9. Clear the JAR cache from whichever JRE (Jinitiator) you are using.
10. Retest
