HTTP POST + Calling 10g forms

If Jan's suggestion isn't suitable, you could try supplying the username in a HTTP POST, rather than as part of the URL - %username% in formsweb.cfg should still be able to pick it up.
James

Hmm, how are you populating the HTTP Post? In our application, we have a HTML login page with a standard HTML form, with the fields ir_username, ir_password and ir_dbalias. When the form is submitted, its 'action' is the URL required to start up the main Forms application.
In our formsweb.cfg, we have:
userid=%ir_username%/%ir_password%@%ir_dbalias%
Of course, you could assemble the 3 parameters into one string in the calling HTML form and submit it as a single variable if you preferred.

  • How to send te XML data using HTTPS post call & receiving response in ML

    ur present design does the HTTP post for XML data using PL/SQL stored procedure call to a Java program embedded in Oracle database as Oracle Java Stored procedure. The limitation with this is that we are able to do HTTP post; but with HTTPS post; we are not able to achieve because of certificates are not installed on Oracle database.
    we fiond that the certificates need to be installed on Oracle apps server; not on database server. As we have to go ultimately with HTTPS post in Production environment; we are planning to shift this part of program(sending XML through HTTPS post call & receiving response in middle layer-Apps server in this case).
    how i can do this plz give some solution

    If you can make the source app to an HTTP Post to the Oracle XML DB repository, and POST contains a schema based XML document you can use a trigger on the default table to validate the XML that is posted. The return message would need to be managed using a database trigger. You could raise an HTTP error which the source App would trap....

  • Initiating an HTTPS post via Oracle Forms 6i

    Greetings all...
    Here is my problem. I would love some advise/next steps on solving it.
    We are currently using web-version of Forms 6i with the JInitiator 1.1.8.16. I have a new requirement for an existing form where it needs to initiate an HTTPS "post" (not "get") to a remote server and then receive a response of success or not and some other information that the form will then act upon. I believe this means I cannot simply use the "web.show_document" built-in because it uses the "get" method rather than the "post" method.
    Although I am a veteran Forms developer, I am new to all this java stuff. It has been recommended to me that I incorportate a JavaBean into the form to call on this remote service, but I have no idea what that means -- I've never opened JDeveloper. It was also mentioned that maybe there is already a JavaBean in existence that I can just use. I don't know what details of my situation would be useful to know to determine if one exists or not. Does this possibly existing JavaBean need to know already which URL I want to go to? Will it need to know the exact parameters I want to pass or could there be a JavaBean out there to simply "call any URL using the post method" regardless of the number of parameters to send it?
    I've looked through some of the forum for this question and since I'm clueless on java stuff, I didn't find anything that jumped out as an answer for me. Can someone (or many of you would be fine) clue me on the best approach? Thanx.
    Shane.

    Since the initial post above, I've discovered more to this situation that doesn't give me much hope of implementation.
    The "response" that I get back from the remove service is simply a "redirect" telling the initiating browser to go to a URL that I have to set up. When the response comes back, the remote service will tell the browser to go to this redirected URL with the "responses" as parameters in the URL resulting in the user's browser calling this "redirect" URL with a "get" method.
    Not sure what all that means to be honest, but am wanting to learn.
    Shane.

  • Large number of http posts navigating between forms

    Hi,
    i'm not really a forms person (well not since v3/4 running character mode on a mainframe!), so please be patient if I'm not providing the most useful information.
    An oracle forms 10 system that I have fallen into supporting has to me very poor performance in doing simple things like navigating between forms/tabs.
    Looking at the java console (Running Sun JRE 1.6.0_17), and turning on network tracing, I can see a much larger number of post requests than I would expect (I looked here first as initially we had an issue with every request going via a proxy server, and I wondered if we had lost the bypass proxy setting). Only a normal number of GETS though.
    Moving to one particualr detail form from a master record is generating over 300 post requests - I'v confirmed this looking at the Apache logs on the server. This is the worst one I have found, but in general the application appears to be extremely 'chatty'
    The only other system I work with which uses forms doesn't generate anything like these numbers of requests, which makes me think this isn't normal (As well as the fact this particular form is very slow to open)
    This is a third party application, so i don't have access to the source unfortunately.
    Is there anything we should look at in our setup, or is this likely to be an application coding issue? This app is a recent conversion from a forms 6 client server application (Which itself ran ok, at least this bit of the application did with no delays in navigation between screens).
    I'm happy to go back to the supplier, but it might help if I can point them into some specific directions, plus i'd like to know what's going on too!
    Regards,
    Carl

    Sounds odd. 300 Requests is by far too much. As it was a C/S application: did they do anything else except the recompile on 10g? Moving from C/S to 10g webforms seems to be easy as you just need to recompile but in fact it isn't. There are many things which didn't matter in a C/S environment but have disastrous effects once the form is deployed over the web. The synchronize built in for example. In C/S calls to synchronize wasn't that bad; But when you are using web deployed forms...each call to synchronize is a roundtrip. The usage of timers is also best kept on a low level in webforms for example.
    A good starting point for the whole do's and dont's when moving forms to the web is the forms upgrade center:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/index-095046.html
    If you don't have the source code available that's unfortune; but if you want to know what's happening behind the scenes there is the possibility to trace a forms session:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14032/tracing002.htm#i1035515
    maybe this sheds some light upon what's going on.
    cheers

  • Kerberos Ticket via Java to BW to access BW Querys with HTTP POST

    Hi and thanks for reading,
    im Working with 2004 and the NWDS SP10. We have a project which must show some reports from the HR system via backend and some BW Reports done with Web Application Designer 3.5.
    The user of the project application is able to select personnel numbers or org units in a tree UI element. At design time we do not know hwo many of each he might select (could be a couple of hundreds or even more).
    A URL isn't long enough to support our needs (255 characters border)
    A consultant said that we should use HTTP Post with a Form. He gave me an example like this
    <HTML>
    <BODY>
    <form name="querySelektion" action="<system name>" method="POST">
              <input type="submit" value="Formular senden" />
              <!-- Template Parameter -->
              <input name="SAP-LANGUAGE" type="hidden" value="D" />
              <input name="PAGENO" type="hidden" value="1" />
              <input name="CMD" type="hidden" value="LDOC" />
              <input name="TEMPLATE_ID" type="hidden" value="Z_TEST_AX" />
              <!-- Selektionsparameter -->
              <input name="var_name_1" type="hidden" value="H1_ORGST" /></td>
              <input name="VAR_NODE_IOBJNM_1" type="hidden" value="0ORGUNIT" />
              <input name="var_value_ext_1" type="hidden" value="50058503" />
         </form>
    </BODY>
    </HTML
    This is working beside the fact that i have to fill in my BW username and password. I translated this to Java with  the Jakarta HTTP Librarys into the following code.
    try
                HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
                PostMethod post = new PostMethod("http://<system name>");
                NameValuePair[] data =
                        new NameValuePair("SAP-LANGUAGE", "D"),
                        new NameValuePair("PAGENO", "1"),
                        new NameValuePair("CMD", "LDOC"),
                        new NameValuePair("TEMPLATE_ID", "Z_TEST_AX"),
                        new NameValuePair("var_name_1", "H1_ORGST"),
                        new NameValuePair("VAR_NODE_IOBJNM_1", "0ORGUNIT"),
                        new NameValuePair("var_value_ext_1", "50058503")};
                post.setRequestBody(data);
                int iReturnCode = httpClient.executeMethod(post);
                wdContext.currentContextElement().setTextView(Integer.toString(iReturnCode ));
                post.releaseConnection();
            } catch (IOException ioe)
                wdContext.currentContextElement().setTextView(ioe.getMessage());
    All i get is an Error 401 which means "Not Authorized". The Portal (where the application is running) and the BW do both support Single Sign On and the BW System is configured in the Portal.
    I think the HTTP Post is to generic. I also think that i need to make a authorization before and post the Kereberos Ticket to the BW before.
    But how can i accomplish that? Is there a SAP HelperClass to configure or establish system connections of SSO enabled systems?
    Or is the approach with the HTTP Post in java wrong, maybe there is an easier way to do transfer a lot of personnel or orgunit numbers to the BW Query?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kai Mattern

    Since you mentioned, I now tried to modify the writeToFile method in a few ways (closing the streams, directly setting them to null...), but the "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Already connected" exception remains there
    Actually I suppose this has no effect on the originally reported cookie problem, because if I just completely remove this logwriting (+ the following URL disconnect-reconnect) from the code, the situation is the very same
    I paste my modified writeToFile method anyway, maybe you can tell what I do wrong here, and I can learn from that
        public void writeToFile ( HttpURLConnection urlConnection, String filename ) {
          try {
            BufferedReader bufferedReader = null;
            InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = null;
            // Prepare a reader to read the response from the URLConnection
            inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream());
            bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);
            String responseLine;
            PrintStream printStream = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream (filename));
            // Read until there is nothing left in the stream
            while ((responseLine = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
                printStream.println(responseLine);
            inputStreamReader.close();
            bufferedReader.close();
            inputStreamReader = null;
            bufferedReader = null;
            printStream.close();
          catch (IOException ioException) { /* Exception handling */ }
        } //writeToFile()

  • Interesting! JDeveloper deploy to remote server uses HTTP POST

    The documentation clearly mentions that the bpelc ant task only deploys to local server using a file copy. I was wondering how JDeveloper is able to deploy to remote servers. Turns out is just does a HTTP POST of multipart/form-data to upload the BPEL suitcase jar file. Given below is the trace of the POST. Of course, it is all proprietary for now and is not documented. Maybe Oracle can wrap this as a custom ant task?

    If anyone is interested, I've created a custom ant taks to leverage this HTTP post for deploying the BPEL suitcase jar to remote servers. We didn't want to use FTP, as we'd have to change permissions on the files.
    To do this, I've leveraged the oracle.tip.pc.infra.deploy.DeployRemote class. You just have to pass it the path the the jar, server url (http://host:port/deploy/deployProcess.jsp), domain, and password.
    This seems to work fine for us.

  • How to call HTTP Post Method URL in SOA 10g

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where i need to call a HTTP Post Method, I have a URL, if i hit it in the browser, i am getting the response details. I know there is a HTTP Binding Adapter in 11g, but we are on 10g. Can anyone please let me know whether we can do it in 10g and how ?
    Thanks Always

    You will need to write the WSDL by yourself. Just make sure you have the end point detail, operation name(if required) and the schema available to write the WSDL.

  • Submitting a PDF form via HTTP Post: Beginner's Questions

    Hi,
    I am completely new to PDF forms, so I have been finding the documentation and options overwhelming.
    I am hoping to get pointed to the documentation/tutorials/examples I really need.
    I would like to build a "proof of concept" for my boss.  I would like to include a screen in our Java ( JSP & Spring ) webapp where either a PDF form is embedded or is accessed via a link.
    I have
    Adobe Acrobat Distiller X standard license
    Adobe Acrobat X Standard
    Microsoft Office 2010
    I made a small, 3 field Microsoft Word form.  I then converted it via DIstiller into a PDF form.
    I then found this document about how to submit a PDF form to a server side component:
    http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/form-submit-e-mail-demystified
    My big problem with this document it doesn't have an example nor an example showing what is going on in a full HTML page.   As I result I have some questions:
    Can I see such an example somewhere?
    Does the call to the javascript function doc.SubmitForm(urlToMyServerSideComponent) go in a script tag on the HTML page like other javascripts?
    Can I execute that submit function from an HTML button or do I need to put a "submit" button on the PDF form?
    Do I need Adobe LiveCycle in order to create a PDF form with a "submit" button?  Free versions?
    Can I send via HTTP POST ?
    Do I need Adobe LiveCycle to crate a PDF form with a digital signature?
    Is there a document/tutorial that fits where I am starting off from? ( Please no books, I am tyring to show my boss that this is something that can be done, in a reasonable amount of time, not time to get and go through a book ).
    Thanks in advance for any tips that get me pointed in the right direction
    Steve

    To answer some of your specific questions:
    2, 3. The submit form button needs to be on the PDF. You can either configure a Submit Form action or use the submitForm JavaScript method.
    4, 6: No to both questions. You can create the form in Acrobat. Such forms are knows as Acroforms, as opposed to XFA forms that are created with LiveCycle Designer. Acroforms have wider support.
    5: Yes, that's the method that's used when submitting to a web server. You have your choice of formats. The "HTML Form" option causes the form data to be submitted in the same format as an HTML form, so the same type of server-side code can be used to process the data. As Dave's tutorial shows, the server should return an FDF as the response, however, as opposed to HTML content.
    It's a mistake to try to embed the PDF in a web page. So much depends on the user's browser, PDF viewer, and how both are configured. PDF forms can be submitted directly from Adobe Reader/Acrobat, so it's not necessary for them to be viewed in a browser. Note that Adobe Reader for iOS/Android don't yet support submitting to a web server (apart from FormsCentral), but that's is supposedly being worked on.
    Since you mentioned digital signatures, be aware that for Reader users to be able to sign, the document has to be Reader-enabled, either with Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which is not the same as LiveCycle Designer). Digital signatures in PDF forms are not yet supported on mobile devices. Also, you will want to submit the entire PDF, as opposed to just the form data, when submitting a digitally signed form.

  • CL_HTTP_CLIENT, HTTP POST of XML as a form field, encoding

    I am working on a couple of interfaces between a SAPsystem (NetWeaver 2004s, ABAP stack) and another system.
    On the SAP side we are using the built-in HTTP-client (CL_HTTP_CLIENT).
    For the interface from SAP to the other system, the other system expects an XML as the value of a form field in an HTTP POST request.
    In fact, it was described as doing the equivalent to this HTML-fragment in a web-browser:
    <form action="http://over.there.com/interface/import.php" method="post">
      <p>Please enter your xml data:
        <textarea name="data" cols="50" rows="10"></textarea>
        <input type="submit" value="submit">
      </p>
    </form>
    I assume I will have to do a SET_METHOD in order to get the POST method (as opposed to GET) and a SET_FORM_FIELD (for field "data").
    According to the reference I found at W3C ( http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html ), the default encoding method for a POST is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". Does this mean I have to do this encoding myself?
    Could I opt for another encoding - "text/xml" for example? If so, how? With a SET_HEADER_FIELD?

    Thank you.
    This is how we set the context-type:
        call method client->request->if_http_entity~set_content_type
            exporting
              content_type = p_contyp.
    where p_contyp contained 'text/xml'.
    This is how we set the form-field data:
    call method client->request->if_http_entity~set_form_field
            exporting
              name  = p_formfd
              value = xmlstring.
    where p_formfd contained 'data' - the name that was specified.
    This is how we make the request a POST:
    call method client->request->set_method
          exporting
            method = 'POST'.

  • Call HTTP POST Service from SOA HTTP Binding (one - way)

    Hi All
    Why doesn't HTTP Binding support one-way Reference (It only allows request-response in outbound mode)? I need to call a one way HTTP post service from BPEL.
    How can i achieve this with HTTP-Binding. This one way HTTP POST service is on OSB. Please help!
    Thanks!

    Look at 10g samples under tutorials/702.bindings.

  • Calling a form from html in 10g R1

    I have a simple insert/update web-form(10g R1) to maintain employee history.
    emp_hist.fmb has fields:
    name:
    start_date:
    end_date:
    dept:
    Remarks:
    This form has a button to output a detail history report of all employees in html.
    The html puts a hyperlink for each record, which when clicked brings the user back to emp_hist.fmb
    For instance, I enter data for employee B and click the button to generate
    html report. Now I click on the hyperlink for employee A in the report,
    emp_hist.fmb is called but still displays the data for employee B.
    The hyperlink underneath each record in the report which calls the form is:
    'http://localhost:8890/forms90/f90servlet?form=emp_hist.fmx'
    How do I pass the information to the form that it needs to display
    record on employee A and not B ,i.e. record for which ever hyperlink was
    clicked?
    I would appreciate any help.

    I am able to invoke the form through the hyperlink in the report html,
    but I still have the problem of not being able to pass the required parameter
    to have the form display a particular record.
    The problem is that the html page might have anywhere from 1 to 100 hyperlinks based on who is logged on.
    Each link is a unique set of record. So I need to figure out how to
    dynamically obtain the values for the parameters to pass in the URL that calls the
    form. The parameter values needs to be assigned based on hyperlink the user clicks on.

  • Where does firefox cache the form parameters to be used in the reload event of a page that was the resposne of a HTTP POST request?

    Suppose there is form in a web page and it submits data in HTTP POST method. After submitting the form, if I reload the page [either by the refresh button or back button; whichever applicable], firefox asks permission to resend the form data by saying "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action...". Now if the user clicks on the resend, firefox resubmits the form data.
    So where does firefox store this from data for such future resending/resubmission?
    Is it possible to retrieve/manipulate those stored form data?

    I thought I'd tried that, as tried lots of other things like encoding URL, but obviously not as this works.
    Thanks for the quick reply.
