How to launching a forms SDI vice MDI?

By default, web deployed forms run in a MDI window by default.
How do you change this default to run the form in a single
document interface(SDI)?
I have found references to the HTML command "usesdi=yes" and
"separateFrame=False", but no documentation on how to use them.
Anyone have any idea? Or could you point me to the proper
documentation?
Thanx

How to setup a forms function in R12 to launch an URL?

Hi All,
In 11i we could create a forms function of the type "SSWA plsql function" to launch a html page from the menu.
How is that supposed to work in R12?
So my question is, how to setup a forms function to launch an URL like www.oracle.com in R12?
thanks,
thierry

Hi, first set the Profile 'Restricted Text Input' to 'No' for your User.
Then create a form function like below:
Functional Administrator > Core Services > Function > Create (button)
Name: XX_GOOGLE
Code: XX_GOOGLE
Type: SSWA jsp function
Maintenance Mode Support : none
Context Dependance: Responsibility
(press continue button)
HTML Call: javascript:void window.open("http://www.google.com")
Leave other fields blank
Add to HR_EMPLOYEE_DIRECT_ACCESS_V4.0 menu:
500 XX Google XX_GOOGLE
This will pop up your external webpage in a new window.
The issue is that it only works from the Navigator framework page (not from within Core Forms)

Mike

How to launch a local program from a Form running on Web

How to launch a program in local hard disk, say notepad, from a Form running on web?
I tried the HOST() function but it will launch notepad on the application server other than the client.
Thanks,

You can use the following code from a Pluggable Java Component (PJC) to invoke notepad
String cmd = "notepad.exe";
Process p1 = null;
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
int exitValue;
try
p1 = rt.exec(cmd);
exitValue = p1.exitValue();
System.out.println("Command returned status : " + exitValue);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Error : " + e);
Of course in reality the command to execute would be sent from the Forms Program as a Set_Custom_Property on the PJC
Note that the PJC to do this would have to be signed to allow access to run such commands

How to initialize insert form as empty instead of showing values

Hi All, i am new to ADF and Jdeveloper, maybe my question is easy for many of you, i searched the forum i could not find what i was looking for.
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0.
I want to create input form that starts as empty then on button click the user can add a row in the database.
I know how to do it with the form starting as an edit form, using the create button, but i want the form to start as empty.
I am not using taskflows, just a simple JSF page to create a record.
Thanks
Edited by: bgjocaj on Jan 15, 2013 8:12 AM

Hi,
the only way to do so is
1. Create a new row in the underlying ADF iterator when launching the form (or on button press)
or
2. bind the form fields value property to a managed bean that has setter/getter defined for each field. You can then - on submit - manually update the ADF binding layer. The easiest option for this is to drag and drop the form, let JDeveloper create the bindings and then change the value property references to point to a managed bean

How To Launch Servlet from Desktop App

Hello Everyone,
I recently started my programing in JavaEE. First lesson was Servlets.
My servlet takes the name and a number from a user using a html form and returns a wellcoming message to the user and calculates PI with "number" decimals.
Well it works using a html form but the next exercise is to launch the servlet from a desktop application. I searched like 2 hours on google and different sites for this. I saw a hint about creating a framework(code was writen in 2001).
I really really have no idea how to launch the Servlet from a desktop client application.

The exercise says:
PI Servlet
Write a servlet capable of calculating the PI number with a specified number of decimals. Access this servlet:
1. From a browser, using a HTML form
2. From a desktop application
For the calculation of PI use Machin formula PI/4 = 4 arctan(1/5) - arctan(1/239) or a similar one.
For the calculation of arctan function use Taylor series: arctan(x) = x - (x^3)/3 + (x^5)/5 - (x^7)/7 + (x^9)/9 ...
My servlet looks like this: without the Methods for calculating PI:
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
         try {
            int len = request.getContentLength();
            byte[] input = new byte[len];
            ServletInputStream sin = request.getInputStream();
            int c, count = 0 ;
            while ((c = sin.read(input, count, input.length-count)) != -1) {
                count +=c;
            sin.close();
            String inString = new String(input);
            int index = inString.indexOf("=");
            if (index == -1) {
                response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST);
                response.getWriter().print("Eroare la servlet");
                response.getWriter().close();
                return;
            String value = inString.substring(index + 1);
            //decode application/x-www-form-urlencoded string
            String decodedString = URLDecoder.decode(value, "UTF-8");
            int decc = Integer.parseInt(decodedString);
            String result = CalculatePI(decc).toString();
            PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
            try {
            out.println("<html>");
            out.println("<head>");
            out.println("<title>Pi Servlet</title>");
            out.println("</head>");
            out.println("<body>");
            out.println("<h1>Pi Servlet </h1>");
            out.println("<p> Wellcome <br /> PI cu "+ decodedString + "zecimale este: <p>");
            out.println("<br />" + result);
            out.println("</body>");
            out.println("</html>");
        } finally {
            out.close();
            // set the response code and write the response data
            response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);
            OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(response.getOutputStream());
            writer.write(decodedString);
            writer.write(result);
            writer.flush();
            writer.close();
        catch (IOException e) {
            try{
                response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST);
                response.getWriter().print(e.getMessage());
                response.getWriter().close();
            catch (IOException ioe) {
    } The Html form :
<form action="PiServlet" method ="POST">
    Give PI decimals <input type="text" name="PI" size="20"><br />
    <input type="submit" value ="Submit" >
    <input type ="reset" value="Reset" >
</form>And my desktop application :
public static void main( String [] args ) throws Exception {
           if (args.length != 1) {
         System.err.println("errrrr");
         System.exit(1);
     String piString = URLEncoder.encode(args[0], "UTF-8");
     URL url = new URL("http://localhost:8084/MySecondServlet/");
     URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
     connection.setDoOutput(true);
     OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(
                              connection.getOutputStream());
     out.write("string=" + piString);
         System.out.println(piString);
     out.close();
     BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(
                    connection.getInputStream()));
     String decodedString;
     while ((decodedString = in.readLine()) != null) {

How can launch an event in javascript?

Hi, i´m doing an app in jsp, but i´m using a framework in javascript, css... my problem is... how can launch an event in javascript?
I have a menu bar in javascript, and i want launch an event in each option, how?
Thanks,

Hi Victor,
well, onMouseUp("blablup");
I do not finally get your problem - do you want to send an event? So just add it to the URL and send the URL -or do you want to excut the form? Why then not add the "event" to a hiden field in the form and execut that form then?
In the handler you can ask for the details of the hidden field.
I think it is not exactly what you are fter - but it could be that this is anyay a solution.

Oliver

How to launch a dialog box programmatically

I'm working on my first ADF form and my first Java program (the backing bean) and I need some help with how to launch a dialog box from the backing bean instead of a button.
Here is the background of what I am doing: I created an ADF form whereby a user chooses an Excel spreadsheet from their local drive and submits it. The backing bean reads through the spread sheet fields, does some validations, etc. then writes out a fixed length file on the weblogic server. This part works fine. But I wanted to add a dialog in after the spreadsheet is read but before the file is written that displays the number of records that were read and give them the option to hit OK to continue or Cancel which will stop execution of the form and maybe display a cancelled msg. Not sure how to do this part. How can I invoke the dialog from the code? Do I still need to have a button to get an action listener, but just not display it on the form? I'm a bit confused on this part. Any advice or examples would be appreciated. Thanks.

here popup involves
http://subu-jdeveloper11gadf.blogspot.in/2012/06/checking-application-module-dirtiness.html
    public void DisqualifyListener(DialogEvent dialogEvent) {
        // Add event code here...
        DialogEvent.Outcome outcome = dialogEvent.getOutcome();
        if (outcome == DialogEvent.Outcome.ok)
           RichPopup popup = this.getPp1();
           RichPopup.PopupHints hints = new RichPopup.PopupHints(); //empty hints renders dialog in center of screen
            popup.show(hints);

How to put the forms on the WEB

Is this possible to create an HTML or JAVA file?
In forms you can launch the application in WEB mode OK, but how to launch in the browser?
Please give me all the task to do.
Thanks!

Hello!
Install Oracle Forms Server. If you use custom instalation you do not need WEB browser - Forms server instals the WEB DB listener which acts as browser, listening on port 80 and communicating with the Forms Server.
Download the PDF document "Forms Server Release 6i" from the Forms page on the OTN. Print it. Read it.
Everything is relatively easy but of course more complex as in client-server enviroment - you have to think about the browser, URL, Jinitiator, ... etc.!
Good luck!

Browser size when launched from Forms Builder

Hi, Does anyone know how to set the size of the IE browser when launched from Forms Builder? I have set the width and height setting to 100% so that the applet takes up all the browser space, however the browser is still not as large as I'd like.
When I start IE on its own, it opens in the desired size, it's only when running it from Forms Builder that it's too small. I've searched on the net, but nothing seems to work, there must be a setting specific to Forms?
Thanks
Sam

If you are using SeparateFrame = True, then you might try using these in your When-New-Form-Instance trigger:
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window, window_state, maximize);
set_window_property('Your_Main_Window', window_state, maximize);
If you are not using SeparateFrame = True, then you may have to use JavaScript in the page where your applet is located. Javascript can also go in your formsweb.cfg file. See:
HTMLbeforeForm=<script>....</script>
or
HTMLafterForm=<script>....</script>

Launch 6i Form from 11i?

Hi all, I'm having a lot of trouble finding info on how to launch/run a 6i form from Oracle Apps 11i. The form would be launched when a button is pressed.
Thanks.

Hi,
is 11i built with Forms 6i? If yes then open_form, new_form or call_form is used. If 11i uses Forms 9i then you use web.show_document("URL of Forms 6i on the web','_blank');

How to clear a form

Hi,
since I've received no answer to my earlier question yet, I try to ask it again.
I have a form to input data. The primary key of the new data record is created from a sequence. If I open the form the first time, everything is right. But if I save the new record and open the form again, the afore entered data are in the input fields and instead of "create" occurs "apply changes". I guess, the form gets the primary key of the saved data record instead of a new primary key from sequence. Where can I have an effect on that?
The application is on the Oracle workspace "GILLETTEDH" and the application is 25515. The form I talk about is on tab "Input Form" (page 2).

Bettina,
I wasnât referring to the processes or branches on the form page. You should keep them just as they were generated by the wizard. The branch I was talking about is the one that takes you to the form page. This is typically a report page or some kind of menu page. If you use the form & report wizard, then youâll get that pre-build. The create button takes you to the form page and resets the form page session state and displays the form in create mode. The report link takes you to the form page while supplying a key to query data and displays the forum page in edit mode. So it depends on how you call the form page.
If you just want to keep adding data though, i.e. create a record, return to page 2 and create another record, then resetting session state for page 2 and branching back to page 2 when clicking on create would be the right thing to do. Try creating a reset session state page process on page 2 and make it conditional on clicking âCreateâ.
Also, when looking at your form, I found that your page process to generate the PK is currently set to âNeverâ. With that setting you wonât be able to create new records. You should make that process conditional on clicking on âCreateâ as well.
You also may want to look into using before-insert triggers for generating the primary key. This would be a cleaner approach to generating this key than having a page process. By using triggers, the primary key would be generated no matter how to records gets inserted, i.e. by using this page, direct insert statement or another client interface.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Marc

How to run the form that is only installed on a PC and not using a server?

Hi
I am new to Oracle and have taken the forms class. But I do not understand how to run the form from my PC using XP windows. (Do not have access to a server).
I have started the OC4J, made sure the listener was started, compiled the form and then when I run it, it automatically goes to the HTTP:
ERROR: res://ieframe.dll/acr_depnx_error.htm#,http://kevin:8889/forms/frmservle
I connected to the database correctly. I can process a report and it does nor try to access the internet. My only issue is running the form. I verified it compiled.
Sorry for a basic question. Could someone please help, I tried reviewing other questions, but not sure if they are connecting to a server or not.
I see webutil but is it required if I don't have a server? Thank you in advance.

Regardless of the version, it appears that you may not have configured the Builder. Do the following:
1. Open the Builder
2. From the menu, select Edit > Preferences > Runtime
3. In the box labeled "Application Server URL:", enter a local URL needed to run a form OR click the button labeled "Reset to Default". If you decide to manually enter a value, it would looks something like this:
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet
4. In the field labeled "Web Browser Location:", enter the path and executable to your preferred browser. So for example if IE is your browser of choice the entry would most likely look like this:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
5. Click on OK and retest.
By the way, you can manually enter a URL in the browser. Clicking the RunForm button from the Builder is strictly optional. To run the "test" form directly from the browser enter the following into the browser's address field:
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=test
