The java generated provides the following classes
hdrobjuser1 which is a structure consisting of string, string, decimal, string, date, string (the first parameter of the webservice call),
dtlobjuser1 which is a structure consisting of string, string, decimal, string, string, string, decimal
dtlobj1 which is an array of dtlobjuser1 (the second parameter of the webservice call)
The problem is that I have methods to generate and populate both the hdrobjuser1 and dtlobjuser1 classes, but there is no method that I can use to create array elements within the dtlobj1 array

  • From Forms Product Management - Success of Oracle Forms

    The Forms Product Management team are pleased to announce we have posted a new paper on OTN which tells you
    about the success of Oracle Forms.
    If you want to find out who is using Forms, the kind of applications that are best targetted by Forms, and what is the future
    of Oracle Forms then please go to:

    Oracle Forms is quit impressive as both a client/server and web-based solution. I have yet to see an application run over the web the way Oracle Forms does. It appears as a client/server application, except it's completely web-based.
    That's quite amazing, however, I have found that the rich interface and the sophistication of running Forms over the web comes with a big cost. The 8MB Jinitiator download turns a lot of people off.
    What I'm really wondering is if there is anyone out there who is using Oracle Forms as a web solution ?
    Thanks for your time.
    Best Regards,
    Bob Mazzo

  • Announcement from Forms Product Management

    We often get asked about "real" customers who are deploying "real" Forms applications. In order to give you some examples,
    we have a customer testimonials page which documents their success with Forms.
    For example, on the Forms OTN page we have highlighted Metro who have gone live with 4,000 concurrent Forms users.
    http://www.oracle.com/ip/develop/ids/customers/metro.html
    You can find our more if you visit

  • From Forms Product Management - New Reports Integration White Paper

    I've posted a new white paper on OTN which explains how to call Reports with a parameter from Forms Services using the Forms RUN_REPORT_OBJECT Built-in.
    We have also included a sample Java Bean which allows the userid parameter to be stored in a cookie.
    To download the paper, go to http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms , its the top news item.
    Regards
    Grant Ronald
    Forms Product Management

    Brian,
    there are four possible reasons why this could happen
    1. you didn't specify the correct domain. A wrong domain makes the cookie not accessible for the Reports Server
    2. The Reports Server is in another timezone than the Forms Client. This way the default validity of teh cookie is exceeded to the time you request the cookie. If this is the case, add the offset to the max age value
    3. You change dthe encryption key either on the Reports Server or the cookie client.Default value is reports9i for Oracle9i Reports.
    4. - unlikely - you try to run this solution iwth Forms and Reports 6i. This doesn't work.

  • From Forms Product Management - Daily Features  - Forms

    We have a feature running on the Front page of OTN which, each day, will talk about a feaure of iDS. We have a number which cover Forms; today there is a note on extending the Forms UI.
    http://otn/products/ids/daily/9iDS.html
    Its worth checking this out each day.
    Regards
    Grant Ronald
    Forms Product Management

    Thats great news that you have got this down to a more acceptable level. Now onto the question about the initial download. There is a file called f60all.jar which is about 1.4Mb which is all the class files you need. However, we do supply some other JAR files which hold a subset of the classes. What you can do is choose to download one of these first and as other classes are needed the other jar files are downloaded on demand. This means you are still downloading about 1.4Mb but its split over about 3 or four dounwloads.
    As I mentioned before in my posting, its these class files that give the application its rich Java UI. You can pre install them on each machine but to be honest that kind of defeats the purpose of a web deployed app (centrally managed). And anyway, these classes are cached so any time you run another forms application you use the cached version.
    Let me know if you need any more information. I know there are situations when a JSP/HTML maybe better suited than a Forms app but I want to make sure you can make a decision with knowledge of all the relevant facts.

  • From Forms Product Management - Free Forms Upgrade Workshops

    We are pleased to annouce more dates for the Forms upgrade to the web workshops. If you are considering moving your client/server application to the web come to these events and hear directly from Oracle's Product Management team about the benefits and the tips and techniques.

    I still get the 404 error.
    I go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/index.html then follow the link titled "Free Oracle Forms Upgrade Workshops" which leads to http://www.oracle.com/go/?&Src=3581382&Act=4
    That URL results in a 404 error :-(
    PS. I just tested it using MS Internet Explorer and then it seems to work (FireFox gives me the 404 error)

    I don't think you'll get too many replies. I expect most people here are either committed to using Web Forms already (and so don't need this functionality) or else are still in client-server mode (and so don't understand what you asking).
    We are just in the process of migrating from Forms4.5 to 9i (I'm in the WebUtil beta) and we are still finding out all sorts of non-obvious things about web-deployment - don't get me started on how awful the whole GIF thing is! So I'm not really qualified to have an opinion about Webstart. I only have the vaguest idea what it does and I'm not sure I want to read up about it just so I can tell you whether to go ahead with it.
    What I will say is this:
    (1) Anything that makes 9i Forms more like a client-server experience for the users would be a good thing, bceause it would minimise the shock of transition.
    (2) Choice is a good thing. Your recent experience of developers' spleen over the removal of client-server should tell you that people respond well to being given options and badly to having them removed.
    (3) If I've correctly understood Haris Peco in their second point we could get rid of O9iAS and that would be flipping marvellous for everybody (except possibly the VP in charge of O9iAS Sales :P).
    My tuppence ha'penny worth.

  • From Forms Product Management - Using Enterprise Manager

    I have just posted a new viewlet which shows the Enterprise Manager features in 10g. If you have not used EM before its a great high level demo which shows you how yuo can manage your Forms applications from a console. For those already familiar with EM you will be able to check out some of the new work we have done in integrating Forms and EM.
    If you go to http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms you can see the feature on the news list.

  • From Forms Product Management - Using WebStart with Forms

    I noticed a number of posts on this forum asking if you can run Forms as an application (using WebStart) rather than an applet in a browser.
    I would be interested to know the reasons why people want to do this. Is it so that there is no browser windows? Is it because it has more of a "desktop feel"...
    I would be interested to hear any of your reasons.
    Thanks in advance

  • From Forms Product Management - How many users can my Forms App run??

    A question we often receive on the OTN list is how may users can
    your Forms application cope with? - To help you plan and
    understand how a Forms application scales, we have completed a
    new white paper called "Oracle Forms Services Release 6i Capacity
    Planning Guide". Please go to
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/6iscalability.pdf.
    In this paper we discuss how you can load test your application,
    how to design realistic scenarios and documents Oracle's own
    scalability testing of Oracle Forms.
    This paper is a valuable source of information for those decision
    makers who need to deploy performant and scalable Forms
    applications.
