How to attach that object_library to a form using jdapi?

Question

Hi!
I am doing a migration process from Forms 6i to Forms 10g, and I need to attach an object_library object to a specific form using jdapi. The object_library that I want to attach is the web_util object_library.
How to attach that object_library to a form using jdapi?
Thanks.

I had never used JDAPI before reading your post, but the attached code creates a minimal WebUtil-enabled form from scratch -- adapting it to update an existing form should be fairly straightforward. I've only been coding in Java for about a year, so consider this only as a starting point -- there may be better, easier ways of doing this.
import oracle.forms.jdapi.*;
public class Driver {
  public Driver() {
    /* create a minimal form */
    FormModule frm = new FormModule("JDAPI_DEMO");
    Block dummyBlock = new Block(frm, "BLK_DUMMY");
    Canvas dummyCanvas = new Canvas(frm, "CVS_DUMMY");
    Item textItem = new Item(dummyBlock, "TXT_DUMMY");
    textItem.setCanvasObject(dummyCanvas);
    /* open WebUtil object library */
    ObjectLibrary olWebUtil = ObjectLibrary.open("c:/ora10g/forms/webutil.olb");
    /* attach WebUtil PL/SQL library */
    AttachedLibrary alWebUtil = new AttachedLibrary(frm, "c:/ora10g/forms/webutil.pll");
    /* loop through each tab in object library */
    for (JdapiIterator it=olWebUtil.getObjectLibraryTabs(); it.hasNext();) {
      ObjectLibraryTab olt = (ObjectLibraryTab) it.next();
      /* loop through each object in tab */
      for (JdapiIterator it2=olt.getOwnedObjects(); it2.hasNext();) {
        JdapiObject obj = (JdapiObject)(it2.next());
        String className = obj.getClassName();
        /* handle module parameters */
        if (className.equals("ModuleParameter")) {
          ModuleParameter mp =
            new ModuleParameter(frm, obj.getName(), (ModuleParameter) obj);
        /* handle object groups */
        if (className.equals("ObjectGroup")) {
          ObjectGroup og = new ObjectGroup(frm, obj.getName(), (ObjectGroup) obj);
    frm.compile();
    frm.save("c:/jdapi_demo.fmb");
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Driver drv = new Driver();
}
