Converting oracle forms into java forms

Hi all,,
would help me plz on how to convert oracle forms into java using any tool;
Is Jheadstart is the tool,, im having jeveloper version 10.1.2.1.0

There are at least two companies that are marketing Forms to Java conversion tools. I'm sure that a good Google search will locate them, and they are frequent exhibitors at Oracle-oriented conferences like Collaborate and ODTUG Kaleidoscope. But there are problems associated with doing this. I urge anyone who is considering such a project to read this article by Grant Ronald: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/formsmigration.pdf
You should carefully ask yourself and your clients and management, "Why do you want to do this?", "What benefits are you trying to realize?", "Does this make sense, and are there other options that we should be exploring?"
For instance, many people are trying to protect themselves because "Forms is going away". Oracle has stated again and again that Forms is NOT going away. In fact the recent Fusion Middleware 11g release included a new version of Forms with some significant enhancements. You may do very well just by upgrading to the latest version of Forms.
If you do decide that it still makes sense to convert, I suggest that rather that converting, you may want to redevelop from scratch. Keep the database if it is well designed - a well designed, stable database will outlast any front end that you may use against it. Then take full advantage of the capabilities of your new toolset, and leave behind the limitations and inapplicable methodologies of your old one. Oh, by the way, don't use JDeveloper 10.1.2. Use 11g if you can, or 10.1.3.5 if you must.

How to convert Oracle Data into Java Date

Hi there,
in JDev 3.2 oracle.jbo.domain.Date was derived from oracle.sql.DATE, which has a timestampValue() method to get a java.sql.Timestamp.
In Jdev 9.0.3 Date is not!! derived from oracle.sql.DATE, so my previous implementation fails.
So, How can I get a java.util.Date from oracle.jbo.Date?
( I think this is a bug !?)

Hi Dietmar,
this is documented in the help; see Reference - Business Components Oracle Domains; then choose 'Date'
using the dateValue() method on the oracle.jdo.domain.Date gives you a java.sql.Date which is a (subclass of) java.util.Date.
Cheers, Hans

Convert Oracle Forms into Java (swing & JSP's)

Dear All,
We are currently in the process of evaluating our upgrade of system, which is using forms 4.5. One of the options we are considering at this stage is converting all forms into Java program. I am currently doing some pilot work on this project. I am using FormsWizard, a product of InformatikAtelier Gmbh, along with Forms 6i and Jdeveloper 9i. Has any one done this before in this group? Your assistance is much appreciated.

Grant, Thanks for that mail. It was very useful article. The article has lots of brilliant points consider. I may have to discuss with our System Architect. With my experience in both forms and Java, it is hard to justify the business benefit out of this conversion. We are a strong Oracle house and have no intention of moving towards J2EE at this stage.. Thanks once again.

How to convert oracle timestamp to java timestamp

Hi,
I need to convert oracle timestamp that i got from oracle database to java timestamp.I tried to use getTimestamp() to get timestamp value from oracle, but am getting NumberFormatException.
Could any of suggest how to convert oracle timestamp to java timestamp.

Thanks jverd ,
then my code will be like:
String oracleTS="11-MAR-05 11.19.20.625 AM";
// am looking for yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss format
SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd
HH:mm:ss");
Timestamp javaTimestamp=Timestamp.valueOf(oracleTS);
System.out.println("javaTimestamp----->>
"+javaTimestamp);
ving java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input
string: "MAR"Well, the SimpleDateFormat has to actually match the format you're trying to parse, for one thing. Then you have to actually USE the SDF, which you didn't.
You really haven't made it clear what you're trying to do, and it doesn't appear that you bothered to study the links I provided.
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy HH.mm.ss.SSS aa");
Date date = df.parse(oracleTS);
Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(date.getTime());

How to convert csv files into java bean objects?

Hi,
I have a CSV file, I want to store the data availabale in that csv file into java bean, I am new to this csv files how can I convert CSV files into java beans.
Please help me.
Adavanced Thanks,
Mahendra

You can use the java.io API to read (and write) files. Use BufferedReader to read the CSV file line by line. Use String#split() to split each line into an array of parts which were separated by comma (or semicolon). If necessary run some escaping of quotes. Finally collect all parts in a two-dimensional List of Strings or a List of Javabeans.

Integrating mutiple forms into one form using tab canvas

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to Forms 6.0 and also to this discussion. Could somebody please explain the pros/cons while integrating 8 maintenance forms into one form(Each page in the tab canvas representing one form)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Aruna

If the maintenance forms are small, you can integrate them into a single form with a tab canvas, although 8 may prove difficult--try it and see what it looks like to have eight tab pages. Make sure the first block and field in the form navigator is the field you want to show at startup.
You would use multiple forms (1) to modularize largish chunks of complex code that don't interact with each other (2) to decouple logically separate applications (3) to decouple reusable modules that you can then pop into other applications (4) to create shareable components to share through an object library into base forms.
In your case, the main issue is the logical separation with reusability also raising its head. Each form is logically distinct for maintaining a specific set of tables, so putting it in a separate form makes sense. It would also allow you to reuse the maintenance forms in different applications without including everything. This might be a security issue, for example--some apps might need access to only some of the 8 forms.
Tab pages are also not as easily formatted as you might like, so check it out before assuming that tab page interfaces in Forms are your solution.

Is it possible to embed one form into another form?

I have two Oracle 6i forms - Form A and Form B.
Both forms are accessed independently at this time (from separate menu entries).
I would like to add a new tab on Form A that, when selected, opens Form B within Form A (e.g. I wish to embed Form B into Form A).
Is this feasible to do? I'm aware that it is possible to launch Form B from Form A (using a button) but we'd prefer to directly embed Form B into a tabbed window on Form A, if it is technically feasible to do.
Greatly appreciate any suggestions or insight anyone can provide as per whether or not this is feasible.
Kind Regards,
Jeremy

Thanks Andreas -- this is what I was assuming based on the research I've done so far.
Would you happen to know if it is possible to open Form B (in a new window) when a tab is clicked on Form A, or can this only be done when a button is pressed on Form A (when-button-pressed trigger)?
Regards,
Jeremy

How to convert Oracle Queries into SQLite Queries

Hi..
Is it possible to convert Oracle Sql queries into SQLite queries using java ?
Regards,
Ajay

>

>
No - assuming you mean automagically.
No - assuming you mean all possible queries.
Yes - assuming you mean queries where the syntax is compatible.
Not needed if you mean queries that have the same syntax.
Even queries that use the same supported syntax will likely perform quite differently.
There is no tool I am aware of that will do the conversion at an acceptable level.

How to convert Vb code into java?

Hi,
I want to know how to make conversion a visual basic source code into java. The conversion could be (1:1) scale.
Is there any compilers making the live easier (solving this problem) ?
Thank you all.
Abu_ramla

Use the JNI. VB doesent actually do anything on its own. Its just a series of calls on COM objects to performs all its work. You can call these same COM objects using the Java Native Interface or JNI. You wont have access to things designed in VB though like forms, you will have to redesign those.
This will take extensive knowledge of COM, VB, Java, and JNI. It will take you about 1 year to get up to speed. I would say to not do this.
