GUI Expression Builder Tool

We would like to have our customers/analysts to be able to create their own TOPLink query expression. I see the workbench has a SQL feature. However, does the TOPLink product have any GUI expression builder tool, for TOPLink query expression (not SQL)?

But no TOPLink query expression building in GUI instead of straight SQL or EJBQL.
I'm talking about "drag and drop" type of GUI features, allowing users to pick and choose the defined toplink persistent object/attributes to form the TOPLink query expression.

GUI Form Builder (Netbeans)

Hello!
I use the form builder to create and position 100 buttons.
To address these "builder formed" buttons in other code, I created an array .......
ArrayList<JButton> buttons = new ArrayList<JButton>();
The "Form Built" buttons are added to my array named "buttons" by adding this code snip in the "post creation" entry option within the Form Builder's code generation section like this ....
buttons.add(jButton1);
buttons.add(jButton2);
buttons.add(jButton3); //.....etc.
This all works fine, now I can address each of the 100 buttons (ie: change the background color) like this.....
JButton button = AddRFSwitchMain.buttons.get(but);
button.setBackground(new Color(a,b,c));
In reference to adding my "Form Built" buttons to my array, is there a way to add these buttons recursively? ie:
buttons.add(jButton(X)); // X = 1 to 100

This is how I add the "builder generated" buttons into my array now....
 buttons.add(jButton1);
 buttons.add(jButton2);
 buttons.add(jButton3);
 buttons.add(jButton4);
 buttons.add(jButton5);
 buttons.add(jButton6);
 buttons.add(jButton7);
 buttons.add(jButton8);
 buttons.add(jButton9);
 buttons.add(jButton10);
 buttons.add(jButton11);
 etc.....
 buttons.add(all the way out to button 100);
 Can the same thing be done recursivily like this:
 for ( int but=0; but<101; but++ ) {
 buttons.add(jButton(but));

Oracle Development Suite ( Form Builder + Report Builer ) vs Toad

Hi guys
I a beginner in oracle world and I would like to ask >>>
1- What is the difference between toad and Oracle development suite and which one is better?
2- Could toad be used to create .fmb files ? What is the extension format of toad forms if they exist ?
According to this thread >>>
Diff between Oracle Forms and Toad
Toad cannot be used to create input forms
on the other hand , my friend told me that Toad can be used to fully control your database and development >>> It involves
Objects Creation and management ( Tables -- Indexes ... etc)
Form Creation
Report Creation
all in one application
This thread posing is repeated three times !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how this happened !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for inconvenience
Edited by: user2393672 on Sep 10, 2011 4:47 PM

1) toad is only for querying/doing dml against the database
2) form is for having the screen; report for the output of the system. so toad is totally different from form & report
Thanks & Best Regards

Can anyone tell me how to manipulate Oracle9i Forms Builder JavaBeans

Hi,
I tried to include LWMenuBar java class as a javabean in a form. I found problems adding menus and menuitems in runtime to this javabean.
If someone knows how to complete this task please help me.
Bye

Hi,
Currently, you cannot rename the link to your fillable form to a custom name or the name of the form.
You may want to use third party url utility, such as tinyurl.com to construct an alternate URL to post on facebook comments/notes.
Thanks,

Why and How to develop XML forms?

Hi All,
I am creating a bulletin board . So I need to create XML forms . I m not clear as to why do I need to create it and also dont know to create the same . Is there any software installation required for its creation OR else I can do it without any software . Please tell me
1.its need
2.and how to create
and if u have any sample xml form please share the same.
Thanks in advance,
Jasmine

Hi Jasmine,
XML forms are suited to document types that always have an identical or a similar structure. For example, a news item always has a title, author, creation date, and body text.
It is just like an application form. The text given by the authors are got using these forms, so that there is some format or pattern followed.
XML forms are like Templates, using which data are entered. The data entered can be resrticted to suit some conditions, for example, date format.
You can find the How-To guide <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/90b49c90-0201-0010-8296-bb22a60b2b76">here</a>. This also contains two sample forms.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Shankar.

Form Builder crashes while saving .fmb file when connected to db

Hi,
I am getting error The instruction at "0x679c352c" referenced memory at "0x0000001c". The memory could not be "read".
Forms version is 6.0.8.11.3 and database version is 10.2.0.3.0
I am doing the following steps:
1) Open .fmb file in forms builder
2) Connecting to database
3) Making some changes in form
4) Compiling (Ctrl+Shift+K) and generating form (Ctrl+t)
5) Saving form <--- Here I am getting the error and form crashes
If I do not connect to database then builder is allowing me to save the file
1) Open .fmb file in forms builder
2) Making some changes in form
3) Saving form (Successful)
I did some exercise just as a guess that may some part of the form is causing this error. I full expanded all components of the form i.e. blocks, canvases, triggers etc.
This exercise produced that 3 program units were giving same error while full expending those. I deleted those 3 program units and re-created them. Now it is not showing me this memory error while full expanding all program units. I can now fully expand my full form.
But I am still getting this error while saving the changes when I am connected to database.
Please help.

Cann't open a *.fmb file (with the same version of Form Builder)

Hello everybody,
My Form Builder 6.0 cann't open a *.fmb file, created with the same version, even with the same Form Builder tool.
I worked for long time ago at this module, I saved it many times, I compiled it and it worked very well. But last time it didn't want to work(open). I couldn't open it (FRM-10043: Cannot open file). But the corresponding *.fmx file is working.
Here is some additional information:
When I try to rename or replace this file an Windows "There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use" error appear. But that file is not in use and it is not shared. Is this helpfull?
Is there something which can be done?
Thanks in advance,
Euge

Sure. I did that many times. I checked the volume for the errors. I interrupted any share connection. I tried to change the extension of the file and to change it again to *.fmb(I did this on a copy of that file).

XML Form Builder does not load

CONNECTION ERROR: couldn't read response code*
And sometimes the window gets freezed.

Someting really strange is happening because if i log to port 80 (http://...) it works, but when I log to port 50000 (https://...) it does not, and that error message pops up.
I have alredy run the Enviroment check Tool and results were OK in both urls, as follows:

Hello,
Immediately after opening the XML forms editor from the Content Manager page, you will get a link Start Environment Check Tool.... Click on that and proceed for a check. It will take some 5-10 mins based on your connection speed.If every thing is successful, clear the browser cache and restart the browser and open forms editor again. It will open the data schema and properties filed and project browser and all.
I was having this problem just now and i resolved it with the above steps.
My JRE version is 1.6 and portal is EP 7 SPS 21 patched.

Oracle forms builder - windows or unix?

Until recently we've been developing on Forms Builder 6i on our Sun/Solaris box. Now however, we want to move to developing using Forms 10g. We've already recompiled all our forms on the unix box, which has Application Server 10g and an 11g database. Do we stick to using the version of Form Builder on the unix box, or go with the Windows forms? I'm not keen on the unix version, never have been - it's rather clunky, but all our forms/libraries source code is on the server. What do people generally use? I've been ftp-ing files but this is no good longer term - is it best to go with a samba share?

Thanks Tony,
Yes we do still want to deploy on unix. Up until now we've been using unix source control to book modules in and out, as well as using the unix version of form builder. We don't have any other source control software so we'd still need to book in and out on unix. I'd still like to use the Windows forms builder, but we'd prefer to avoid having multiple copies of the source code on windows.
