Forms to JSP

Hi,
I know in 9i Forms, we can convert Forms to XML. Is there any utility using which I can convert a FMB file to a JSP file?
Thanks in advance.

Ok - lets see if I can clear up a few mistruths ;o) ...
Dan - "It's very disheartening to discover that the technology your organization has based it's solution upon is being dropped,"
I don't know if I can make this any clearer that the Statement of direction says - WE HAVE NO PLANS TO DROP FORMS. FORMS IS NOT BEING DROPPED - Lets look at the facts. Forms has a HUGE customer base, Oracles own Applications E-Biz suite is written in Forms (and deployed on the web).
This week at Oracle World Paris we had 3 Forms presentations which totalled over 500 delegates. We had 2 demo pods and a whole room of "hands on" Forms labs.
Oracle9i Forms has a huge number of new features including a brand new debugger, a new translations tool, new features to support internationalisation to name but a few.
The next release of Forms (10g) contains new features to maximize the features of the application server - new integration with Single SIgn on, new Forms features in Enterprise Manager, loads of performance improvements including runtime pre-starting of FOrms engines and JVM pool sharing.
Do you think Oracle would be putting all this effort into a tool it is dropping???
And let me be clear on one point. Just because we have a huge push in the J2EE market (and JDeveloper) does not back up this mis-information about Forms being dropped.
J2EE is a (relatively) new market and as such there is a lot of excitement and new things going on. People like to talk about the hot new topics and new technology. But we see Forms and J2EE broadening your choices. Just read
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/formsj2ee_business.pdf.

"1. Pricing ( the low cost thread says it all )"....When this comes up I always say the same thing - speak to your Account manager - there are different pricing options to different customers situations. You also need to look at the bigger picture of comparing the whole management, deployment and maintainance of your application and not just the cost of the application server. (in the same way when you buy a house, you don't just look at the cost of the house but how much money it will take to maintain it, "do it up" etc etc.) - a new house may be more expensive than an old place but you spend a fortune "doing it up" - (I should know, Ihave just moved house!!! ;o))
"2. Performance ( optimization for internet not considered)"
See my postings about the new features in 10g (pre-starting and pooling) I would also ask if you can be more specific - what issue do you see are "not being considered". (worth starting on a new thread)
"3. Compatibility ( Jinit vs Ms JVM vs Sun JVM )" - Not sure what you mean, we certify Jinit, we certify native JVMs we certify the Sun plug in, we certify IE, we certify NS, we certify Mac browsers - whats the issue (new thread please!)
And finally, Jatinder
"1. We execute forms on internet. That means, all of our users have to install JInitiator to their client machines."
Regardless if you run Forms or run a Java applet application - you need a JVM - you would have to install this even if you didn't use Forms (if you don't want this then you need to go to a thin client JSP but at the cost of losing the rich Java UI functionality you dont' have in JSP) - there are pros and cons in everything - A rich Java UI needs a JVM - a thin client does not.
"2. We have faced issues where forms, when executed for the first time, are cached on client machine and further update to the same record causes locking issues."
Please specify on a new thread...
Ok this is been a very long answer and I don't want to confuse the thread too much so please post new threads!
Anyway thanks for asking these questions, I would rather spend the time answering these questions and ensuring you have the right facts....

How to create a form with jsp

I want to create an HTML form using jsp.
It has a couple of selection boxes. The options for the selection box needs to be read from a file.
As I understand it can create the form in HTML. And somhow uses jsp to read a file on the server get, the data and create selection box. I can have a class on the server side that does the actual read - forexample
SelData.class.
Would appreciate it if some one can outline how this is done.
- thanks

* Pass the data used to populate the select options to the JSP page in the form of a bean.
* In the JSP page, iterate through the bean, using the data to "fill in" the attributes and body of the option tag.
This tutorial should help a great deal with these concepts: http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.1/tutorial/doc/JSPIntro.html#wp69778

Forms to JSP conversion

Hi all,
I have some forms developed in Oracle 9i forms builder.
I want to convert them in JSP.
Can I do this by using JHeadStart?
I have downloaded JHeadStart 10G.

What else can I use for converting 9i forms to JSP???
Thanks in advance.

SOAP XML Response in the form of JSP

Hi,
I am using a command in Websphere Commerce(WC) as "WebServices Provider " .For new users command is WC specific java program which takes input and throws back the result to the calling program.
when a client sends a SOAP xml request to WC WebService Command,it sends back the SOAP XML response in the form of JSP to client.The Client is in Microsoft .Net language.
My Question is:
1)How the client is interpreting the SOAP XML response in JSP.
2)Since the client being a .Net provider,to understand this response,he has to make any extra
configuration ???
Can somebody in the forum can help me in this regard.
Thanks
Mike

Can we call a workflow form a JSP and/or form a Java Class?

Is it possible to call a workflow form a JSP and/or form a Java Class?

Below is some xpress code I wrote once, used to dynamically lauch workflows from within a workflow. Since it basically uses java classes, you reuse these in your java program or jsp:
- create a new generic object
- call the setId, put, ... methods on it
- set the input variables for the workflow by putting them into the generic object
- call the checkinView method on a LighthouseContext object which launches your workflow.
If all you need is starting a workflow from a jsp, you might also want to take a look at the tasks/taskLaunch.jsp jsp. This is an out of the box jsp which allows launching of tasks. If I remember correctly you have to give an url parameter which specificies the name of task you want to start: tasks/taskLaunch.jsp?id=<workflow-name>

<input type="submit" value="submit">

How can I get the value of name on the test2.jsp ???
(I have tried many way , but they didn't work......)

Invoking Forms from JSP and Vice versa

Hi,
I am in to a requirement like invoking a screen developed using Oracle Forms 6i from JSP and vice versa.
1. Could you please anybody help to get the documents to be refered to get more idea on this?
2. Is it possible only by Oracle ADF?
Please help me on this.
Thanks & Regards
M Thiyagarajan

Hi All,
Thanks a lot for the clarifications.
Actually, integration should happen between forms and JSP. Parameters need to be passed to and forth. I will go through the specified link.
Also could you please clarify me where exactly, ADF comes into picture? or what are all the advantages when we go for ADF?
Thanks & Regards

FORM and JSP in the same page

Hello All
Is it possible to pass variable from a html textbox to a JSP? but they both are in the same page.
For this purpose, I have a created a index.html, which contain two frames, top.html and bottom.jsp. There is a textbox in the top.html, it collects 2 variables and use form action "POST" to call bottom.jsp to display a graph.
However after I run this page on Tomcat, it gave me error message in the bottom.html:
The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
Can anyone teach me how to solve this problem? Thanks a lot
Viola
index.html
===============================
(FRAME) top.html
<form action="bottom.jsp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="apple">
<input type="text" name="orange">
===============================
(FRAME) bottom.jsp
String apple = request.getParameter("apple");
String orange = request.getParameter("orange");
use those two variables to do something
and display a graph

The problem is that both pages are loaded @ the same time so when the getParameter gets executed the parameters are null and this is the probable cause of your error. Another problem is the action in form will cause the bottom to go into tops frame and not have anything to do with the other frame. If you want data to go from one frame to another while the user still sees them look @ DHTML, JavaScript and IFrames.

About Dynamic Form in JSP

Hi,
I want to create jsp page which can add/delete/modify and even move text boxes with label to one place to other.
i found partially solution like Xform and even thru java script. But still don't know how to do that.
Can any body have ever come across this type of form.
please give me your valuable comments may be from there i will get some trick.
Thanks,
Ankur

Your question is too general.
Learn HTML. Learn Java. Learn JSP/Servlets. Learn JavaScript -if necessary.
Then write code accordingly. Whenever you stucks while solving a technical coding problem, you're always welcome to ask it here.

Getting Date in the form in JSP

Hi,
I am working on a form created in JSP that gets the date from the user, just in case the user wants to modify the date (default is current date), i wish to provide an option for that. Is there any other way apart from using list boxes asking for day,month and year?
My doubt is about the part - alternate for listboxes with separate options for day, month and year.
Thanks and Regards,
Reshma

Other way is to let the user manually enter the date in desired format, e.g. yyyy-MM-dd, and use SimpleDateFormat to convert between String and Date.
Date date = new Date(); // Today's date.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String dateString = sdf.format(date); // 2007-05-24And the reversed way:String dateString = "2007-05-24";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date = sdf.parse(dateString); // Thu May 24 00:00:00 [zone] 2007Check the SimpleDateFormat API for several date format patterns.

Two select box in a form in JSP...Save me...Please

Hi,
My jsp page has one form with two different select/option. One select is fbox and another is tbox. tbox contains master values from db and fbox contanis some/few/no values from db.(It might be empty.) Now, I want to add a value from tbox to fbox. If that value is already in fbox then ALERT otherwise add in that value in fbox. Following is the code for that.
Would somebody help me out ? I don't know what's wrong with this code. It's not working............It's kind of serious and urgent.
function add(fbox,tbox) {
var i = 0;
if(fbox.value != "") {
var no = new Option();
for(var i=0; i < tbox.options.length; i++)
if((fbox.value == tbox.options.value) || (fbox.value == tbox.options[i].text))
alert("Value is already added. Select another item.");
break;
else
no.value = fbox.value;
no.text = fbox.value;
tbox.options[tbox.options.length] = no;
fbox.value = "";
else
alert("Please enter an item.");
