HTML Form Size Exception

Can someone tell me why I get this exception and is it significant?
bq. <2008-12-11 22:38:16,085> <ERROR> <cybertrust1_3.collaxa.cube> <BaseCubeSessionBean::logError> Error while invoking bean "presentation manager": HTML form size is larger than the preset limit: 70 \\ java.lang.IllegalStateException: HTML form size is larger than the preset limit: 70 at com.collaxa.cube.xml.xsd.xerces.HtmlFormHelper.incInputCount(HtmlFormHelper.java:46) \\ ......
I have searched this forum and the WEB and can't find anything relevant to "BPEL HTML Form Size"

This is BPEL 10.1.2 and I'm sure there are more than 70 tags in the input XML stucture. The original BPEL process was initiated from the BPEL Manager console, but the error is coming from a child process. I can understand the issue with a limit of 70 separate tags (each represented on the input screen), but in this case there is one input string which is a large XML structure. It certainly sounds like a similar problem, but only the same ball park.

HTML Form Size Preset Limit

I am trying to use the HTML Form to test my BPEL process. It generate the following error:
Error Message:
HTML form size is larger than the preset limit: 70
My xsd is quite large. Is there a way to disable or make the preset limite bigger? Thanks.

Hi,
we introduced this check with release 10.1.2.0.2, and here is the why ..
a) It takes asignificant amount of time to generate this form and
b) normally no user would fill ou 70 fileds to kick off a process ...
what you can do is specify a default input - which is done in bpel.xml by specifying defaultInput as property within configurations
<property name="defaultInput"><![CDATA[<loanApplication xmlns="http://www.autoloan.com/ns/autoloan">
                <SSN>123456789</SSN>

HTML form size limitation

It's about a size limit. When a HTML form is submitted, there is a size limit of how much information can be sent to the server. I'm talking about using the POST submission (as opposed to the GET submission).
It used to be that the HTTP protocol specified a limit of 8K. The new version of the protocol now says there is no limit imposed and it is up to each server manufacturer to set its own limits.
Can anybody help?

So what is the data size limitation of Oracle HTML form? Does anybody know that? or if there is a document can be referenced?

Parts HTML form Expand All(Show button) option needs to customize.

Hi,

Lines (Under Lines there are two table 1 is for Item information search and 2nd is for order details based on the item. This order details are hided under the Item information table one of the field button Show(which is like Expand All with symbol +))

For this i have tried below steps to extend related VO of SHow button field.
Below steps i have perforemed.
1) Identified the right VO from about this page.
ReqLineVO
2) Exported the related standard VO to JDEV from Server.
ReqLineVOImpl.java, ReqLineVORowImpl.java, ReqHeaderVO, RequirementAM, RequirementAMImpl.java
3) Created a new VO which extends the standard VO and modified Showhide flag to ‘Y’
HolxReqLineVO, HolxReqLineVOImpl.java, HolxReqLineVORowImpl.java
4) Performed substitutions in Jdeveloper
Project Properties -> Business Components -> substitutions
5) Have created custom folder structure in server and moved custom VO files to server.
\holx\oracle\apps\csp\portal\requirement\server\HolxReqLineVO.xml
6) Performed JPX import
1. Go to E:\jdev10g\jdevbin\oaext\bin
2. Executed the below command
jpximport E:\jdev10g\jdevbin\jdev\myprojects\OAProject4.jpx -username apps -password th1rdapps -dbconnection "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)
(HOST=mycomapny.com)(PORT=1526))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=TESTDB)))"
7) After this bounced apache.
8) While trying to open the parts html form, below exception is occurring.

How to reference html form element in javascript ?

Dear all,
My DPK portlet is like this:
I created a html form within it there a several textfields, a hidden field and a SUBMIT button.
The application will call itself to insert a new record to database table on pressing the SUBMIT button.
My problem is that since all the form textfields and the hidden field ara all the qualified names, and I want to set the hidden field to some value, say "ADD" on the onsubmit event in the form. How can I reference the hidden field in javascript ?
Or can you suggest another strategy to do that ?
Many thanks
George (HK)

How to make custom html form buttons - here's a way to do it.

I have been trying to create custom HTML form rollover submit/Reset buttons but could not get it going.
There is a Javascript way but I do not know how.
Anyway, I manage to get it working in all browsers except for IE 6. It does not hover in IE 6.
Here is the HTML code:
<label class="contact_form_btn">
<input type="submit" name="submit_btn" class="contact_form_submit_btn" value="Submit form" />
</label>
And here is the CSS:
.contact_form_btn, .contact_form_submit_btn {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    display: block;
    line-height: 40px;
    height: 40px;
    width: 200px;
    font-family: "Century Gothic", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Tahoma;
    font-size: 20px;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-weight: bold;
    float: left;
    background-image: url(../my_website_images/form_btn_set.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-position: bottom;
.contact_form_btn {
    background-image: url(../my_website_images/form_btn_set.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-position: bottom;
.contact_form_submit_btn {
    background: transparent;
    border: none;
    cursor: pointer;
    float: left;
    clear: left;
.contact_form_btn:hover {
    background-image: url(../my_website_images/form_btn_set.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-position: top;
It works perfectly but not in IE 6.
In IE 6 the image does work but there is no hover effect.
I'm using it anyway - screw it.
But for the sake of learning and advancement - does anybody have an idea why it will not rollover in IE 6?

You can use an HTC to fix the hover on IE6:

Hello,
I read the information on the link you posted but I'm a litle confused as to how this is implemented.
There is nothing mentioned about attaching a script to the document.
All I read is that you add this to the body: body {    behavior: url("csshover3.htc"); }
And so my question is. The files that you download, where do you put them? Do you attached them to the header of the html page?
Or do you pull them through the url that's attached in the CSS page body?
I have contacted the author but if you know the answer, please explain further.
Thanks again, Patrick

How can an applet retrieve the values of a HTML form shown in a JEditorPane

Hi,
I'm doing an applet that contains a JTree and a JEditorPane
among other components. Each node of the JTree represents some
information that is stored in a database, and whenever a JTree
node is selected, this information is recovered and shown in
the JEditorPane with a html form. To make the html form,
the applet calls a servlet, which retrieves the information of
the node selected from the database. This information is stored
like a XML string, and using XSLT, the servlet sends the html
form to the applet, which shows it in the JEditorPane.
My problem is that I don't know how I can recover new values
that a user of the application can introduce in the input fields
of the html form. I need to recover this new values and send them
to another servlet which store the information in the database.
If someone could help me I'd be very pleased.

Pete:
Remove the name attributes from all input elements defined by the pl/sql process. For example
<input name="company" type="Text" size="30"/> should be replaced by <input type="Text" size="30"/> or <input name="f01" type="Text" size="30"/>
The APEX accept process recognises a predefined set of HTML form input names. Any input with a name not from this set will cause the accept process to fail. f01 through f50 are valid names for the accept procedure.

How to submit a html form using java

hi friends,
i have a html form with some input fields, when ever a user submit the form the user information is stored in the database. is it possible to pass the user information in the url(url rewriting) and submit it by a java program so that the data will be stored in the database, as like as, user submit it manually.
for eg:
/*sample.html*/
<form action="store.jsp" method="post">
User Data:<input type="text" name="userdata">
<input type="submit">
</form>
in my java is it possible to store the record as below:
URL url=new URL("http://localhost:7001/webapp/store.jsp?userdata=AutomaticDatasave");
URLConnection con=url.openConnection();
int i=0;
while((i=con.getInputStream().read())!=-1)
System.out.print(i);/*it has to print the data that store.jsp is returned like information stored or error storing data(what ever)*/

hi Drclap,
Thanks for your reply, which is helpful to me....
tried what you said, what i did is modified the code like below
con.setDoOutput(true);
BufferedWriter br=new BufferedWriter(new InputStreamWriter(con.getOutputStream()));
String str="userdata=AutomateDataSave\n";
br.write(str,0,str.length());
br.flush()But
Iam Getting Internal Server Error

In portlets, how to use a html form passing values to the another page?

it is well known that in web developing , we have two methods to pass values to another page.
but how to use two methods in oracle portal portlets?
I have got a simple example which submit two values to the page for itself, means a page has a form with submit botton, user input the form with values and then submit them by submit botton, then the page recevice those values and show it .
this example is powered by oracle ,
please have a look at these code:
<br><br>
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>

<%
// The form submit URL refers to the current Portal page. All portlets
// on this page share this URL. This means that the per portlet parameters
// are in the same request. Portlets must ensure that its paramerters don't
// collide either with other portlets or other instances of itself. This
// is generally accomplished by using "fully-qualified" parameter names. A
// fully-qualified parameter name prepends the (unique) portlet reference to
// the parameter. The JPDK provides a utility to accomplish this.
String portletParamName = "mName";
String portletParamAge = "mAge";
String portletParamSubmit = "mSubmit";
String fName = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, portletParamName);
String fAge = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, portletParamAge);
String fSubmit = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, portletParamSubmit);
// These are the session attribute names used to store the current values.
// Because all instances of this portlet share the same user session we must
// also fully-qualify these names to avoid collisions.
String sName = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, "sName");
String sAge = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, "sAge");
PortletRenderRequest pRequest = (PortletRenderRequest)
request.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
String formName = UrlUtils.htmlFormName(pRequest,null);
ProviderUser user = pRequest.getUser();

Hi Moonsoft,
I have already answered this query in the other post at Re: how to link more than one links in portlet?(jsp develop)
<form name = "showPageForm" method = "POST" action = "<%= UrlUtils.htmlFormActionLink(pReq,UrlUtils.PAGE_LINK) %>">
<%= UrlUtils.htmlFormHiddenFields(pReq,UrlUtils.PAGE_LINK, "showPageForm") %>
<input type="text" name="param1">
<input type="text" name="param2">
<input type="hidden" name="myPPN" value="/htdocs/page2.jsp">
</form>then in your jsp code on page2.jsp, you will extract the parameters by specifying
<%
String p1 = request.getParameter("param1");
String p2 = request.getParameter("param2");
%>
>>this is easy common jsp or asp development, but in oracle is too diffcult!!!!
:-) .. there is a difference between web-applications and portlets, you just need to get used to it once. I hope this does clarify your doubts.
thanks,

Submit fdf data to php to pupulate a html form text box

okay i have no idea if this can be done because I always see it the other way around....
I want to give my clients some instructions to type in an account number that is taken from the pdf, submitted to my web server in php or asp, and generates the information into a text box field...
can anyone help me in the right direction?

I cannot use the typical regular HTML "a href",
because I have to call a struts action.No... you said you have to submit the form with a link. A link is an "a href", it's exactly what <html:link> generates. But a link cannot be used for form submitting except by invoking Javascript to do it programatically.
Using an action in <html:link>, presuming that's really refering to an action and not just the href value, which is what I'm not really sure of. It's been a while since I've used Struts. So maybe the action is the href part, and you can put "javascript:void(0);" there?
But I'm absolutely positive about the HTML/Javascript aspect. Struts tags don't alter how HTML works. They just make generating some HTML content easier. But in this case, I'm not sure that's helpful because I never found a simple way to get the actual form name that the <html:form> creates.

If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead.

HTML form to clob

Hi all i have an oracle 9i database.
One of the application is used to store data given through standard HTML forms (not oracle forms). These are stored in varchar2 fields and all works fine.
However we now have a new request that would require one of the HTML form fields to contain more then the 4,000 character limit of varchar2.
I tried using same application exactly, simply changed database table field from varchar2 to clob. However while the other table fields are being populated normally, the clob field remains empty.
Can anyone help
James.

I found a work-around as could not find a way to directly insert a CLOB, but i managed to update a CLOB field.
Hence I only solved this problem by using first the html form to insert new record (except for the CLOB field) and then use a javascript code to update record with CLOB data.
James

Cannot view HTML form input entry in Firefox.

I have a basic html form embedded in a Wordpress footer widget to collect email addresses and I can place the cursor in the input field (there is only one input field) but I cannot see what I'm typing. If I enter an invalid email address (without being able to see what I'm typing) and hit the submit button I can see on the error page (since a valid email address is required) what I originally typed. The URL is askdrkyle.com and the form is on the left hand side of the footer.
I do not have this problem in any other browser.
Thanks!

I figured it out. I had adjusted the height of the input element to a height that did not work well with the padding. Once I removed the height style and adjusted the padding I got the size I wanted and can see the text as it should be.
Thanks for your help forgottengods!

Submiting HTML Forms with JavaFX Webview

I've long been searching for a good web robot framework. And I also need a gui for my robot.
So w/ the advent of JAVAFX Webengine it seemed my needs have been met finally. Specially because on the webview tutorial here , Alla Redko says: "+It supports user interaction such as navigating links *and submitting HTML forms*+".
But after looking at the api it doesn't seem that webengine supports submiting forms, only loading pages w/ the load() method. I guess I could populate the form fields and submit them w/ executeScript() but that's just sloppy.
Is there a way to actually submit forms w/ webengine? Are there plans to implement this feature, analogous to the load() method?
Thanks,
JC

Yea, as I mentioned in the first post, I could do all that w/ JS but it's just sloppy, since I'm using Java language, not JS.
The finding certain fields part is easy w/ the Document model and xpath, it's the populating the fields and submiting the form along w/ its hidden input fields that is the missing part.
Does anyone know if these things are planned for the future of Webview/Webengine?You can already do this in Java today using the existing APIs if you so wished.
