Exeperience in using Web Form

After using and developing Web Form for a few months, the
following are my experience. Hope that someone can help me to
sort out the problem.
1. Start up time is extremely slow.
Referring to some document, it can be solved by customizing the
jar file (but I don't know how to do that) but I just think that
I am developing my application in high speed intranet, is it
useful ?
2. Percentage of successful browse up the web form is 50/50.
I am now using Jinitiator with ie5, sometimes it can browse up
and sometimes it can't. In addition, since the startup time is
very very slow, I don't know if it has fail or it is still
loading up the form. I try to use the debug function of Jinit,
but the result must be "fail to browse up the form". Can anyone
teach me how to monitor the whole process of browsing up the
form ?
Rgds,
Edward

See if you have 'enable ad-hoc mode' option available in your dataform design other options(it depends on the version you are in)?
If yes, users can select the attributes and filter the base membrs associated.

Lost Page on when you should use MVC vs when you should use web forms

I read a page last week. I think it was on MSDN. It was talking about the relative merits of MVC and web forms. However, unlike the page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd381412.aspx,
which merely states the advantages and disadvantages of each format, this page went on to state something like:
You should use MVC:
when building web apps that do this
when you web app needs that
when you are doing the other
You should use web forms:
when building these other kinds of web app
when your web app does this other thing
when your web app does this.
Does anyone know the page to which I am referring?
(Oh and since when did it become impossible to paste anything into a question or reply block in MSDN forums. This makes it very difficult to paste in page links.)
Also I am not seeing an appropiate forum in my forums dropdown list. So if a moderator wants to move it to the right forum I would appreciate it.

@Darnie Graceline Selvamary Thangalazar
The first link is not what I was looking for as it tells the difference between MVC and Web Forms but not which is better for what.
The second link does get more into which is better in certain situations but doesn't really analyze each type of project and specify that this is good for web forms and this is good for MVC. However, it does provide some ways to analyze if your
"situation" would be best served by using web forms and which would be best served by using MVC.
It specified that if reaction time is an issue then MVC is the answer. This is good because with our excruciatingly slow network we need apps that take inherantly as little time as possible to load.
I took another look at the link provided by gaurav. Turns out that link has a link to an article by Dino Espisito which actually has the statement that I referred to above i.e. if your app has a lot of busines data. After two years, that
is as much as I remember of that page. So in fact indirectly gaurav found the page I was looking for.
Too bad I did not re-read this link when I started the current project, though. One thing each of them says is that if your team (in this case me) has not had much experience in handling html elements directly then MVC is not a good fix for them.
For the last 6 months theis has been a major learning process in using JQuery, AJAX, and MVC to accomplish tasks which I've could have done using server controls and web forms with my eyes closed. Too bad they don't make MVC so that you can use server
controls with it.
However since this thread is so old and unlike "Whose Line is it Anyway?" the points
do matter. I am going to award the answer to gaurav. Thanks everyone for providing some very interesting links on MVC.

Import external text file into table in database using web form

I whant to import data from text delimited file located in os
into oracle table using web form.
I am using ORACLE DATABASE 8i, APPLICATION SERVER 9i
and ORACLE FORMS DEVELOPER AND FORMS SERVER 6i (Patch 2)
Is there anybody who know how can i do this?
Thank you!

WebUtil uploads the files as Binary - so yes you could have some issues if you have a Unix host - however, that would only mean that there is an extra character to trim off of the end of the line read by Text_io.

Simple calculator in html5 using web form elements

Hello
I would like to make an educational miniwebsite with my son who is getting interested in internet programming.
I was wondering if html5 could be used to do simple math in html5 using the input of web form elements, such as radio button (for the choice of math operation: add/sub/mult/div) and two numbers in input fields.
Then a submit equivalent would generate the output result, preferrably in a field still on the same page (without going to another page, as it is the case with submit).

I think that you might be looking for something like this:

Anybody able to use Web Forms on Godaddy?

I created an empty ASP.NET application by using the VS wizard, first in Visual Studio 2013 (for this one the only setting I changed from the default values was to choose no user authentication so a DB is not needed), then in Visual Studio 2012. I didn't
change a single line of code compared to what the Wizard generated and used FTP to upload to GoDaddy.
Both applications work locally on the dev machine, but neither one works (on any type of browsers) once deployed to GoDaddy. I didn't change anything in the web.config, but the one generated by VS 2103 is almost empty) .Chrome shows error ERR_CONNECTION_RESET,
and enabling detailed errors doesn't work.
GoDaddy support said the problem is with the global.asax but are not able to explain further. From info found on the web and on their site it seems global.asax should be supported. After removing global.asax, the VS 2012 app starts working (but in my app
I need a global.asax!), while the VS 2013 app still doesn't work, throwing an exception about a missing 'respond' resource in System.Web.Extensions.
Has anyone been able to successfully create a Web Forms ASP.NET application with Visual Studio 2012 or 2013 and run it on GoDaddy?

Hi zoorroo,
Glad you've found your solution. If you have any further questions about ASP.NET, please post in
ASP.NET forums where you could get more help.
Thanks very much.

Is there a way to create a web form for a user to take himself off paid membership subscription?

I know there is a way to add a user to a paid membership subcription using the web form. There is a video on BCGuru that shows how to do it. Is there also a way to use web form for the user to terminate his paid membership? Or does it always have to be done manually by the Admin?
Thanks

It’s not a failing at all. It’s just the way it is.

Copy and paste cell content of web form of Hyperion Planning

Our end users encountered performance issues in using the web forms of Hyperion Planning. We have some large web form with 60 columns and 100 rows i.e. around 6000 cells. When end user move around the cell they feel a slow response in the web form especially when copy and paste some cell content from one row to another, or a few cells from one position to other position.
Anyone got similar experience in using web form? Also we understand that Hyperion design will check the cell content of each cell and generate a SQL query to the backend metadata database. It is quite time consuming and waste CPU resource because most of the time our end user will not keep the text information under each cell. We have consulted Oracle team and understand that we cannot disable the cell content checking via SQL query.
Any workaround solution exists to reduce or remove the performance issue in cell content copy and paste?
Thanks!

Hi,
We had faced the same issue a few years ago. One of our geeks had done a change in either Enterdata.js or Enterdata.jsp which disabled form cell validation. I don't currently have the code with me but it wasn't a big change really, remarking a function could be doing the trick.
I don't think this is officially recommended by Oracle though.
AlpThanks for your advice. We will try to locate the enterdata.jsp and enterdata.js and found out where the SQL being executed.We found out the Enterdata.js under the deployment directory of Weblogic. However it is over 400KB size and many many lines of codes. We think that it is very difficult to locate where should be customized to remove the SQL checking on cell content.

Oracle UCM 11G missing Web Form Editor

Hello All,
Oracle 10G UCM provided a WebForm Editor. After installation of newer version Oracle UCM 11G we found the feature is missing.
Is there a substitute provided by Oracle in 11G version for the same?
We need to provide functionality to end users where they could go and create some forms on their own. We were thinking to use Web-Form Editor for the same, but to our surprise we found the feature is missing.
Can anyone suggest if we are missing something. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Kent,
You're correct that the general UCM docs don't include that detail, but the FormEditor component readme.txt does include that info. I didn't open the readme.doc, but the readme says that there's more info in there.
From the component readme:
<snip>
Updated 2010-02-16
The HTML editor UI is now only enabled if the configuration parameter HasWebFormEditorUI is set
to true. See BUG 9218712

WEB Forms do not display properly with windows 95 LARGE fonts desktop setting

Hi,
We are using WEB forms 6.0 patch level 6 (We tried 6i but had too many bugs with it, we prefer to wait until at least a couple of patches are out, installation was a VERY painful experience for us)
We still have the following problem with WEB FORMS deployed on win95 desktops with LARGE FONTS destktop settings: The forms are not displayed correctly, sometimes there are no scroll bars, resizing a window gives weird results, part of the forms become inaccesible, some forms are blank, etc...
Can you verify or confirm that you have the same kind of problems ? We use jinitiator 1.1.18.
Is it fixed with 6i ? Is it fixed wit jinit 1.1.27 ?
We develop in smal fonts on win95 and recompile under solaris before deploying.
Thanks

Thank you all for your fast asnwers. The "Use hardware acceleration when available" was the problem, I disabled it and I will post a message on my site about this.
The site is on-line in the same aspect since 2005, modifiyng the whole site to fit with Firefox11's default setting is not a good option. At that moment, placing a tabel (alligned to the center of the page) and puting in it the thumbnails with links generated by ExpressThumbnailCreator, than manually adding the description in the HTML view of FrontPage was the simplyest way possible to make the site appear properly on my 800*600 px resolution I used then. Of course, I upgraded my hardware and software since then, but the site remained mostly unchanged (except the index and a few files). I know it's time for a new version of the site but... my web-design knowledges are limited to basic HTML.

Host for Web Forms

Can anyone tell me how to provide a "HOST" type function that will run on local client, rather than on the server when using web forms?

You can achieve this with a signed Javabean in your Form that can call programs on your client (there is a metalink note on this).
We are currently working on such a bean that we will offer on OTN in the next couple of weeks probably.

Getting client printer list on Web Forms

I need to get a list of client printers using web forms to
insert into database columns. I used to use ORA_FFI to get the
print dialog on client server but it doesn't work on web forms.
I have contacted Oracle support who say it can't be done but I
suspect that it may need some sort of Java bean. Has anyone got
any ideas on the subject (maybe a solution to the problem)
Thanks

You might get better responses in the first place if you don't join the who can post the shortest requirement contest which seems to be active for quite some time now (don't know who the winner is and when the contest is finished though).
In addition to dbms_application_info you might want to look at sys_context :

Email form Web Forms?

Can anyone suggest how to invoke the default mail application on the client machine using Oracle web forms.
For Example, Press a button on the web form. A new message in Outlook is opened, and pre-filled with say the to address, the subject and a number of ATTACHMENTS.
The complication is that I would like to insert a number of attachments into the email. (Meaning I don't think I can use mailto:)
I understand that this would have been possible using OLE2 with client server forms. But, we are using web forms and the middle tier is Unix, so I don't think it is possible.
Hope you can help. Thanks.

Hi, Liam. Thanks for the prompt response.
The support document says:
"Note: The email address that will be receiving the form submission must exist in either your sites CRM (customer database) or be a admin/email user of the site."
As noted in my post, I did create a BC user with the required email address: [email protected] I gave it the username PureTemp Inquiry and assigned it to the Administrators group.
Am missing some detail about setting up a user?

How do I use the vector web forms??

I'm new to using vector graphics and need to know how to go about using these web forms using Illistrator to make it functional on a web site. I tried opening it with the Illustrator, Fireworks, but not sure how to get the white fields to actually work like a text field. Hotpot will only link to another page which I don't want. I want the user to be able to enter their email address or whatever info is required then be able to submit. Please help!

That graphic is for making a wireframe/design. It cannot offer any real form functionality.
To create a form with that appearance, you will need to wrestle with HTML, CSS, and your choice of scripting languages to process the input.

Web Dynpro as Callable object in GP using PDF Forms

Hi All,
I somehow want to integrate a user filling out a pdf form within a Guided Procedure. So far I have created a local web dynpro DC and I want to make it a Web Dynpro Callable Object (GP Interface). The problem is, I want the user to be able to see the PDF form when filling out the form. For example, if they had a role in the portal where they can invoke the Web Dynpro application with the pdf form, then when they click submit on the pdf they invoke the guided procedure...is this possible? This is so, I can use the web dynpro to do some data validation and call some bapis to get info, then submit this all to the GP. Is this achievable? I know how to do most things, I just want to know things like when is the "execute" and "getDescription" methods called? I want my execute( com.sap.caf.eu.gp.co.api.IGPExecutionContext executionContext ) method to call a bapi also. Is that possible? How do I automate a GP process when I click submit on the pdf form?
Thanks in advanced
TM

Hi,
You can integrate a PDF control in a Web Dynpro view. Refer the following links for that:

Refering the above links you'll get a fairly good idea how to integrate Adobe forms in WDP and how to start GP process programitically. My suggestion for your requirement would be if always you need to start the process after the user submits the Adobe form, then consider having the Adobe form as the first step for the process. In that case you don't need to start the process programitically. Whenever the user starts filling up the Adobe form the GP process will start. You can refer <a href="/people/dipankar.saha3/blog/2007/03/02/how-to-present-your-gp-processes-to-the-end-user">this blog</a> on how to start a GP process as an iview link in portal.
Otherwise if based on certain conditions you need to start the process then you can either use the Java API or the web service to start the process from Web Dynpro. You should have the Adobe form embedded in Web Dynpro and on submit event you can check the conditions and start the process if required.
Thanks,
Dipankar
