How do I call a 10g report from a jsp page securly?

How can I call a report from a jsp page securly? We are migrating from 10g forms to J2EE, and we want to keep using our reports. In forms we were able to do this using a cookie. How can I pass a users credentials to reports without the user having to connect to the database? Single Sign-on isn't an option either.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
If you want to pass the user credentials to the report dynamically, then SSO (Single Sign-On) is the only option I can think of.
If the user credentials can be hard-coded, then the following 2 solutions are possible:
1. Use cgicmd.dat file, and write the user credentials in the file.
2. In your report JSP itself, you could write the following:
<rw:report id="report" parameters="userid=scott/tiger@mydb">

How to call a report from a jsp page

Hi
1) Can anyone please tell me how can i view Discoverer report from a jsp page instead of opening it directly thru plus/viewer.
2) Please clarify do i need to install Infrastructure and OID for it.
Please advice.
Thanks

You need the AS infrastructure if you want to use connections. If you do not intend using connections, you do not require the infrastructure.
Note that you cannot pass in passwords in the URL any longer. You do not need to pass passwords if you pass in a Discoverer connection id (but then again - if you don't use connections, then you do need to still pass in the connection information - username, password, database, language, EUL)
I have a post on my blog that describes how to pass a password using an HTML Form submit - http://oraclebi.blogspot.com/2005/08/passing-password-to-viewer.html
Thanks

How can i pass the same parameter from 1 jsp page to many jsp page?

hello.....
how can i actually pass a parameter from 1 jsp file to many other jsp files? pls help......
thanx

Hi
Save the information which u want to pass to various JSP's inside Session Object.
There is an Object called HttpSession and u can store information inside which other jsp pages within the same domain and same browser instance can use it.
commands which are for ur interests are
<Session Object>.setAttribute("<object name>", <value>);
Example
HttpSession objsession =request.getSession(true); String strName="NEED_HELP":
objSession.setAttribute("Name", strName);
And then u can retreive that information in your n pages.
Read any JSP/Servlet Books and u will know about them
Bye.

How to call an exe program from the JSP page?

How to call and display the interface from a exe (residing on C: drive) on my JSP page. Our customers supplied us with an exe file and they want this to be incorporated on the JSP page that has other components also, like forms, etc. The interface of the program has to be displayed in specific co-ordinates on the JSP page. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Can't be done with JSP.
JSP runs java on the SERVER only.
All that gets to client is an HTML page. So all that
you can do at the client is what an HTML page can do.
Obviously that doesn't include running a file on the
client machine.
Take a look into Applets, or maybe ActiveX controls.Thanks for the reply.
Any idea on how to use the ActiveX controls in this regard?

The class could be something like this:

Tomcat 6 Calling a Java Servlet from a JSP Page

How to open a new browser window from a JSP page?

Hi,
I am picking up records from the database and displaying each record in a seperate text area field using the JSP code. I should be able to display the content ( available in the text area) in a seperate window if the user clicks on one icon.
Is it possible to open a new browser window using JSP? If yes, how can I write information on the new browser window?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to open a new browser window using JSP?a JSP page is also an HTML page, this is client side stuff, you can do it with JavaScript.

How can I pass a variable value from first jsp page to thired jsp page

In my program ,threr are three jsp pages . I want the first pages's variable value in to thired page .How can I acess.
I used the request.getparameter() ,but when I print the value , null value is getting .

request parameters only last for one request.
To save them longer than that you need to save them somewhere.
Couple of alternatives
1 - store them to session
session.setAttribute("username", request.getParameter("username");
2 - create a hidden field on page 2 and store the value from page 1 there. When you submit page2, you can get it on page3 with request.getParameter again.
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<%= request.getParameter("username") %>">

Call 10g report from 4.5 form

Hi everyone,
Can anyone please tell me, how can i call a 10g report from a 4.5 form? Which are the implications on both sides?
thanks in advance,
MC
Please, can anyone help me?

All of these suggestions are limited because of the forms engine and plsql engine within forms. You will have to try them. And none of these configurations are supported by oracle.
Use the old run_product. You will have to install reports runtime on every client
RUN_PRODUCT(product, document, commmode, execmode, location,
list, display);Try to make a call to a package in the database that calls utl_http, which makes a call to your reports server via a url.
Maybe an OLE or VBX call out to IE?
All of these are stabs in the dark.
Try upgrading forms!!!

How to Open an Oracle Report From a JSF Page

Hi there,
I would be really grateful if anyone would find me a solution to the following scenario:
In my company, we have a project where we have to convert Oracle Forms and Reports to Java Web Application. The conversion of forms is being done thourgh JSF/ADF technology but how can i open an Oracle Report from a JSF page after supplying it with parameters ? Or i have to do some type of conversion before ?
Once again i would be thankfull for your replies.

Tapash,
Thanks for reponding.
Here is the URL I am currently using :
https://gccss.glendale.edu:8001/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=rep60_crp3+userid=apps/pswd@crp3+report=/u07/oracle/crp3appl/gcccus/11.5.0/reports/US/GCC_ACCRUAL_BAL_0505.rdf+desformat=html+paramform=yes+destype=cache+p_accesscode=""
The p_accesscode is the parameter I need to pass to the Oracle report.
Currently, when I click the button, it invokes the above URL and takes me to the parameter form of the Oracle report and when I enter the Username, it runs the report and displays the desired output. But, what I need to achieve is, to pass the current user who has logged in behind the scene and to get rid of the parameter screen totally. Is this doable ? If yes, please help me !!!
Thanks
Hilal

Hi Raul
A better option would be to switch to Reports 9i because it natively supports Reports JSP tags. Your JSP then becomes seamless. And much more...
With 6i, you can look at using Reports Servlet.

How to call an OBIEE report from EBS

Hi,
I'm trying to call an OBIEE report from an EBS menu.
I have setup the following form function calling SSWA jsp type function
Web HTML
OracleOasis.jsp?mode=OBIEE&function=Go&Path=/shared/APA%20Real%20Time/AR/AR02%20Revenue%20by%20Account%20Report&Action=Prompt
When I click the menu item OBIEE returns the following;
No Columns
The request cannot be performed because it contains no columns.
Can anyone please enlighten me on how to do this correctly
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
I did some further investigation. The syntax to your Oracle BI Answers should be as follows;
OracleOasis.jsp?mode=OBIEE&function=Go&parameters=Path~/shared/APA%20Real%20Time/AR/AR02%20Revenue%20by%20Account%20Report

How to Call a jasper report from Oracle Forms 6i.

Hi
Can anybody tel me how to Call a jasper report from ORacle Forms 6i.
Thanks & Regards
Bango

Forms 6i client/server? Use the HOST command to call the report. Since a Jasper report is just a call to a url, it will be something like:
v_url := '<your url to the report>';
host ('cmd /c start '||v_url);If it's web Forms 6i it even easier. Just use web.show_document(<url>).
