Forms builder & iPlanet Application Server

Is it posible to use files generated with Forms Builder (*.fmx) under the iPlanet Application Server (SUN)?.
Thanks,
Cristina.

Hi Ronald,
I have to do an application based in web forms to manage a data base stored in Oracle 9i.
First I thought to do it using the Forms Builder.
The company require standard J2EE and use only the iPlanet Application Server, although use Database Oracle 9i don't use the app Oracle.
Is there not any possibility to use the Forms Builder?
Since I can't use the forms generated with Forms Builder into the Sun App, I think a solucion is to do the forms with JSP.
What do you think about??.
Regards
Thanks
Cristina.

Iplanet application server 6.5 on windows xp

I'm trying to install iplanet application server 6.5 on windows xp. but for some reason it just hangs at the end of the install. Leaving my no choice but to quit the instalation. Has anyone sucessfully install 6.5 on xp? and could anyone help? would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

I've just spent a day or two mucking around with getting the iPlanet 6.5 Application Server install running with IIS on XP, and have got as far as having the "fortune" application running. I also encountered the "hanging installation" problem on my 5th or 6th reinstallation. Here is my checklist of things to do:
1. As has been pointed out earlier, you must have a static IP address assigned to the machine you are installing on.
2. You should set up IIS before installing iPlanet - during the install you'll be prompted to set up the Web Connector for IIS.
3. If you find that the install hangs at the end (seems to be in the middle of building the Start Menu shortcuts), then deinstall from the Control Panel | Add Remove Software and run the install in Windows 2000 compatibility mode - this article lays out how to start applications in compatibility mode:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/games/expert/durham_og.mspx
4. You need to switch IIS to run in-process as per these instructions:
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-5788-11/app1.html#14411
see the section "Registering the Plug-in on IIS 5.0 running on Windows 2000".
Note that in XP the tab is called "Directory" rather than "Virtual Directory" and ensure that you grant Execute Permission to both Scripts and Executables (default is just Scripts I think)
5. You need to grant security permissions to the registry key
\\local machine\\software\\iplanet\\Appserver\\6.0\\CCS0\\HTTPAPI
as per the post by Vaidyanathan Iyer :

Oracle Forms: Build Internet Applications correct configuration

I want to study for the Oracle Forms: Build Internet application exam (IZ0-141) is this exam specified by oracle versions? Forms for 9i looks a little different that forms for 10g. If it is for 9i the download for Oracle9i Application Server is no longer available, neither is the database version. I want the setup a practice lab for the exam and I want to make sure I am using the correct configuration and that the exam is not go to refer to items that is no longer available.
Thanks!

Thanks for reply yogesh.
Actually I am looking for some basic tutorial of Forms developer. I never use that before. I haven't found which tools/package I can use to create forms. where is OC4J located?
what can OTN help on the preparing of IZ0- 141 exam? I found a course on Oracle website for that, But its price is $4,000 CDN, which I can't afford. I really want a book related to the course.
Thanks,
Robert

There is a major security breach in authenticating
iPlanet Web Server 6.0 SP3 and SP4 using Sun ONE
Directory Server. Using a valid user id, any
password except null string would allow user access
the restricted resources. iPlanet Web Server 6.0 SP5
and 4.1 SP12 worked fine with similar configuration.Did you get an answer for this?
We are having the exact same problems with our iPlanet Web server 6.0 SP3.
thank you.

IPlanet Application Server 6.0 Service Pack 3 Test Drive

Hi,
We are trying to port an existing web-app (runs on WebLogic and JBoss)
to the iPlanet Application Server platform.
We can deploy our app, but cannot access it once it is deployed.
Is the iPlanet Application Server 6.0 Service Pack 3 Test Drive "cripple
ware" or is it a fully functioning trial which allows you deploy new
apps to it?
Thank You,
Eric Kahler

Hello,
If the issue is looking up the bean and you are looking up the bean as you
would with JBoss or BEA:
String beanName = "Bean";
ctx = InitialContext();
ctx.lookup( beanName );
then you might have the problem there. Atleast this is what we have found
with beans needing to be convered. Change the lookup to be ctx.lookup
("ejb/" + beanName ); and you might be better. I haven't tried it on JBoss
or Bean but ctx.lookup( "java:comp/env/ejb/" + beanName) might work on all
the different app servers

Deploying war file on iplanet application server 6.5

Hi ,
We are trying to deploy WebObjects application on Iplanet Application server server 6.5.
Steps we tried for deployment :
1) War file generated by WebObjects.
2) Started IPlanet Application server.
3) Opened the War file in the deployment tool.
4) Verified that the WAR file to be deployed using the verify option in the deployment tool(Verified successfully)
5) We tried to save the archive, then it throws an error saying "
"Invalid entry compressed size (expected 52 bytes but got 51 bytes)".
We ignored this message and proceeded further by clicking on OK.
6) Deployed the WAR file using the deploy option
7) In the deploy message box, it diplays that the application was deployed successfully.
Then we tried to access the application by trying the following url : " http://localhost/NASApp/<CONTEXT NAME>/WebObjects/<APPLICATION NAME>"
(eg : http://localhost/NASApp/SampleApplication/WebObjects/SampleApplication.woa>)
We are getting the error saying that " GXError". We are not sure whether the the above mentioned url is the correct way to access the application !
What we think the problem in deployment is
i) because of error while saving the WAR file (Invalid entry compressed size (expected 52 bytes but got 51 bytes)
ii) URL not appropriate
Other observations :
We tried to deploy to deploy sample application on Iplanet Application server. All these sample applications are deployed properly without the above mentioned error message. All these application are accessed by typing following url : " http:localhost/NASApp/<CONTEXT NAME>/<APPLICATION NAME>". IN all the sample application, url contains "NASApp" . We are not sure what this stand for and maps to. What we assumed is that it maps to the the iplanet app document root i.e "installedroot/ias6/ias/App"
The exception throw while saving the WAR file is " com.iplanet.ias.tools.buzz.util.ArchiveHandlerException"
Has any body who has tried this can help us?
Thanks,
Raju and Venkatesh

Hi,
First of all the application you are trying is from a WebObjects application server. I don't know how they package the modules and what is the format/file structure. I just went to their site, though they say that the WebObjects applications can be deploy on any J2EE Application server but still how they package and how they write the xml descriptors is not known.
Looking at your exception it seem that first it is something to do the war/jar archive file compression thing (as the deployment tool is not able to read the complete file) then comes the deployment descriptors.
I tried to get a few sample application from their site but I couldn't fine any, it will be great help if you can provide a WebObjects sample app to me (mail it to [email protected]).
Regarding the NASApp string in URL, it has nothing to do with document root of iAS and also installedroot/ias6/ias/APPS dir is not the document root of iPlanet app server, this is the place where it save/explodes all the archives (ear).
See iPlanet App server don't have any HTTP daemon to listen to the HTTP requests, so it needs a web server with a plugin (web connector) to forward the HTTP requests meant for iAS, and this NASApp string in the URL is the key to that.
All the URLs are first send to the iAS plugin (as configured in web server's obj.conf file) and plugin look for this NASApp string (configurable), if it is there in the URL then it converts the HTTP request and send it to iAS over a proprietary protocol (KCP), otherwise it gives the request as it is to web server to process it.
The NASApp string is a iAS registry parameter which you can change any time. And generally the context root part of the URL is the war file name (by default). So the typical URL for any web application (MyWeb.war) will be:
http://<host>:<port>/NASApp/MyWeb/<Servlet_name>.
I don't know why that extension "*.woa" is there. So if you send me a sample war file, I will be able to try it out.
Please feel free to ask further questions.

What is different between setup.exe and ezsetup.exe for iPlanet Application server 6.0 SP3?

iPlanet Application server 6.0 SP3 for windows versions.

Hi,
setup.exe has 3 types of installation modes, namely, express, typical and custom. But the ezsetup doesn't asks these questions. The difference between them are..
Setup.exe - Express - Asks fewer questions like, iAS username password, directory server username, password, product key etc
Setup.exe - Typical - Asks for same questions as of Express setup and few more additional questions and allows you to install iAS and use a directory server which is already installed.
Setup.exe - Custom - The most complicated and the highly interactive installation where it requiress 32-33 inputs from the user and fully customisable.
EzSetup.Exe - Doesn't have any sub option, doesn't allow you to use the existing directory server or web server, all it asks is 2 questions..., which directory to install and the product key.
Hope this helps.

Error when run form on Oracle Application Server

Hi al
I'm using Webutil Library to create browse button to open dialog box
When i run form in my computer,it run success and i can upload file do database and application server
But i upload form to Oracle application server and compile it no error (i compiled webutil library)
When i run form,and press button,it can't run and show error:
"Oracle.form.webutil.file.FileFunction bean not found.WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work"
Can you guide for me how can I run form on Oracle Application Server?
Thanks all!

Posting from another thread :-
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/76916/2/
i have resolved the problem
the solution is to :
-download jacob.jar and jacob.dll and frmwebutil.jar all directories (com and jini), you put them into the both directories ORACLE_HOME/forms/java and ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil.
-download webutil.pll and webutil.olb package , copy all files into ORACLE_HOME/forms/java and ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil.
-create a new user webutil on your data base and create the package webutil_db using � script create_webutil_db.sql
after that you compile again webutil.pll and you forms.
all this steps are described in this document:

URL Rewriting Session ID Length in iPlanet Application Server

Hi there,
Does anyone know what the maximum length of the session ID value is when
using URL rewriting/encoding for session tracking (i.e.: ";jessionid=1234"
appended to the end of the URL) with iPlanet Application Server 6.0's
servlet container (or any previous versions)?
Does the length vary or is it fixed? And does WebSphere encode server or
failover information into the ID? WebLogic for instance, encodes the
primary and secondary failover servers into the ID when running in a
cluster)?
And finally, is there any way to restrict or specify the maximum length of
the session ID?
I ask this due to a limitation with some WAP clients & gateways which
prevents the URL from exceeding 128 characters.
Any info on this issue from iPlanet staff or anyone else is much
appreciated.

I'm fairly certain that it is fixed. 18 for the attibute, 16 for the value, plus
1 for the equals. (Plus 1 for the ? if it didn't already exist.)
So 35 or 36 depending on how you count it. Someone needs to verify this and
check my counting though.

the ID. Because of the way session is propogated, no server information needs to
be embedded in the id.

Can I install iPlanet Application Server 6 on Solris on Intel

Can I install iPlanet Application Server 6 on "Solris on Intel".
Raj

Hi Raj, 
Sorry but unfortunately the short answer is no. 
The iPlanet Application Server is supported on 
UltraSPARC running Solaris 2.6 or Solaris 8 
or 
Windows NT 4.0 SP 5 
It's also available on HP-UX 11.0 and AIX 4.3.3 
but I don't know on which hardware 
You can check the documentation on http://docs.iplanet.com

Deploying Forms 10g in Application Server 10g

Hello Everyone,
I have downloaded the Forms 10g demo's from "http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/forms/index.html."
I want to deploy these forms in Oracle Application Server 10g.
Can anyone please send the steps on how to do the same.
The above URL gives steps for deploying iDS10g only.
Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh

Hi Tony,
Sorry for late reply. I got stuck into something..
I tried the steps mentioned in the Forms10g Demo Install Guide.
I did the following configurations from the "InstallGuide" document.
3 Modify the OC4J Configuration
3a Modify orion-web.xml
3b Modify web.xml
3c Verify the changes
So when i the run the following URL
http://<host>:<port>/forms/formsdemo/images/tick.gif
I get "Page cannot be found". I did look into the Forms Services Deployment Guide on how to deploy images when running forms on the web. But no luck.
I still haven't run the Database scripts. I am just testing if i can get the image displayed.
Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh

I want to know about the role of AS application binaries, remote filesystems, and local filesystems in building a development environment on the iplanet application server.

I think you need to be more specific in your question.
The typical development environment involves the developer having his own copy of the application server binaries, executing code off of the local filesystem, and developing on the local filesystem. (Using some version control system to sync his code with the team code.) The most common reason for this is that most people are using Windows as a development platform.
That said, it doesn't have to be that way. There is nothing preventing you from using a remote filesystem for the app server binaries. (Or even running your development server remotely.)
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
