How to open an URL from Forms in blocking mode?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to open a website from within forms in blocking mode? The reason why I have to use blocking mode is that the user has to take some action in the website and has to end that session explicitly with a button on the website. After that, a file is written on the server that is needed for further action. Without that file the process can't go on.
I use Forms (32-bits) versie 10.1.2.0.2.

Thanks for your answer.
Your suggestion is only possible with a timer-trigger (correct me if I'm wrong). And that's the point.... The time the user can act in the website is unlimited. So, how to set up a timer-trigger? Another work around is to make a process that works at some time and searches for the files on the server. But that's not what we want to do.
Does anyone have another idea?

hi,
here is a quick example : (data from url returns as a clob. you need to write it at db. and call from forms.)
FUNCTION Get_DataFromUrl(pUrl IN VARCHAR2,pProxy IN VARCHAR2,pData IN OUT CLOB) RETURN NUMBER IS
vRcv UTL_HTTP.HTML_PIECES;
vData CLOB;
eNoDataReceived EXCEPTION;
BEGIN
UTL_HTTP.SET_DETAILED_EXCP_SUPPORT(TRUE);
-- Get data pieces from Url
vRcv := UTL_HTTP.REQUEST_PIECES(pUrl,Proxy => pProxy);
IF vRcv.COUNT < 1 THEN
RAISE eNoDataReceived;
ELSE
-- Append varchar2 table data into clob variable
DBMS_LOB.CreateTemporary(vData,FALSE,DBMS_LOB.CALL);
FOR i IN 1..vRcv.COUNT LOOP
DBMS_LOB.WriteAppend(vData,LENGTH(vRcv(i)),vRcv(i));
END LOOP;
-- Copy local data into return variable

Opening URL from Form

Anybody has any idea of how to open an url (or webpage) from a webform in the same window. I cannot use Web.Show_Document() as it opens the webpage in a new window.

_SELF Causes the document to load into the same frame or window as the source document.
PARENT Causes the target document to load into the parent window or frameset containing the hypertext reference. If the reference is in a window or top-level frame, it is equivalent to the target self.

Back url from form?

Hello.
I have: a link, a report, a form
When I set the link on a column on the report, it calls the form. (I also have edited the link so that the primary key columns are passed as parameters to the form to provide UPDATE/DELETE.)
What I want to do is: Once the user submits the form, the form should redirect to the page where the report was displayed, and pass the parameters that were on that previous page. (basically, go back to where the user came from--exact url, which shows the update on the report) Does anyone know how to do this?
The best solution would be for the form to open on the same page, then the form automatically refreshes the same url. Any ideas?
(I have been looking at it too long, need fresh eyes/thoughts.!)
Thanks!
Robin

the getAppletContext() method of the Applet class will get you an AppletContext, with which you can call the ShowDocument(URL url) or ShowDocument(URL url, String target) method...

How to open the Url type in Attachments Table

Hi All,
If we attached the any files, files are stored in the fnd_lobs table, pickup the data from the fnd lobs table and stored in the local system but if attached the url type how to open the url type.is there any standard ?
Thanks,
Venkat

You can do it one of two ways:
1. Insert some CSS that will change the target to "_new".
2. Change the field that the user enters information in to a single line of text, then create a calculated column that is:
=CONCATENATE("<a href=",[URL Field]." target=new>Click here</a>")
Format that as a number.

How to open "All Tabs" from previously shown pages history?

Hi,
How to open "All Tabs" from previously shown pages history. I am not asking about "Reopen from last session". I am asking about how to open all tabs from previous webpage links from a past date from history, currently its allowing me to select each page link manually by clicking it.
Thank you!

Select the first item you wish to open, scroll down to the last, Shift-click that one & all those between should be selected too. Double-click on them & they should all start to open... or you can copy & then drag/paste into a new or existing bookmarks folder.

How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?

Hi All,
I have a question about HTMLDB 2.0
How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?
That was the behaviour in HTMLDB 1.6 ...
My usecase for this is the following:
We have written an issue tracking application, which sends e-mail to the interested users, when something happens.
In these email we've put a link to some page, with some parameters in the URL.
The idea is for the user to be easy to click on the hyperlink and to see the details of the ticket.
When the user clicks on such a link he is directed to a login screen (page 101) and he enters his Username and password, and is then forwarded to the details for the ticket.
Then he receives another email (e.g. for another ticked). He clicks on the link and :
a) in HTMLDB 1.6 he goes to the details as he didn't close his browser and session is remembered
b) in HTMLDB 2.0 he is prompted to enter username, password with the username populated
Please tell me how can I achieve the same behaviour in HTMLDB2.0 as it was in HTMLDB 1.6.
I understand this change is somehow security related, althogh I don't understand how. If you can explain this either I would be very happy?
Best regards,
Mihail Daskalov
