Hi Martin,
you can use the method exec() of the class java.lang.Runtime.
The code looks about like this:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("r30run32.exe");

You "don't get things", that is a problem you have to solve before you can be helped. Maybe you just need to spend more time on it or find better documentation; API documentation is only a reference, not a manual.

Apache Tomcat goes down on starting Java application, Oracle error

Hello all
I am running a Java application on Apache Tomcat 5.5. I use Oracle 10g Express Edition as the back-end for my application. I deploy my application using theTomcat manager and it works fine.
However, when I try to access the home page of the application, my Tomcat server goes down. The stdout logs of Apache Tomcat display the following message:
Exception message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified.
What could the possible reasons be for this to happen? And how can I workaround or fix this?
Thanks

This looks like a problem that XE has with some recently altered locales, i.e. Russian. You can work around the problem by making sure that the Java locale (Locale.setDefault()) is supported by XE before the JDBC connect call. For example, use Locale.setDefault( Locale.US ). After connect, you may explicitly set session NLS parameters using ALTER SESSION. You can also restore the Java locale.

Passing SQL-Parameters to Oracle-Reports from java

hello,
i want to write an application in the following way:
on a java-frontend an user can select values for different
parameters. these values should be to transferred to the sql-
query of the reports rdf file. what is the syntax of an
parameter passed from java to oracle reports.
does this work with runtime.exec()... ?
does anybody have an example.
any help would be very appreciated.
greetings
Thorsten Lorenz

In order to pass the parameters to report rdf, you can create user parameters in the oracle report builder, hook up the parameters with query. For example, you can create user parameter P_DEPTNO, then create a sql query: select * from dept where deptno = :P_DEPTNO. When you run this report, you give P_DEPTNO=10 as parameter, the rdf will generate report that only prints out department 10's information.
Once you have this kind of report created, you have several ways to achieve what you want.
1. use rwrun60. In your java program, you can invoke rwrun60 via runtime.exec(cmd) where cmd = rwrun60 report=dept.rdf userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname=dept.pdf p_deptno=<value_from_java_app>
2. similarly, use rwcli60. the cmd would be:
cmd = rwcli60 server=repserver report=dept.rdf userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname=dept.pdf p_deptno=<value_from_java_app>
3. use rwcgi60. Instead of using runtime.exec, you should use java URL object to run the report in the web environment.
option 2 & 3 takes advantage of powerful functionality of reports server, and it is much more scale than option 1.

Oracle Reports and Java

Can anyone point me to good documentation for incorporating Java
into Oracle Reports Layouts on the web? We'd like to integrate
some drop down boxes in the layout so a user can make some data
choices then execute a drill down report directly from the
layout.
Or put another way, if we have a report with 3 parameters,
rather than have to go back to the param form, we would like to
integrate a header section to the layout that would have 3 drop
downs, so as you are looking at the report, if you want to run
again, you just select your choices in the header and hit a GO
icon of some sort. Since drop downs are not available directly
in reports, we were hoping to use Java.
Thanks in advance for any help!

hello,
oracle reports 6i does not have any java integration. we have added java APIs to Oracle9i Reports in various places (e.g. datasource, destination, notification, ...)
see our Getting Started with Oracle9i Reports or the Oracle9i Reports SDK here on OTN for further information.

Oracle Reports 6i -- Image embeded, formatting PDF, Excel

I am using Oracle Reports 6i on Windows 2000. I run the reports from a Java application, using the RWServlet, passing in the URL all the parameters needed.
Now I need to run from my application oracle reports created by somebody else. Initially those reports were run from a client/server application in the client's Report Runtime environment. And I need at my turn to create others with the same look and feel.
The existent reports do not appear to use any template.
I was going through the Oracle Reports documentation, but I still have to clarify some things.
Here there are my questions:
1.- The company logo image
I found in the Layout Model/Main Section/Margin an image object, but I looked in the Property Palette and there is no path to the image, just under Boilerplate there is a object of Type Image.
How does the report know what to embed in the report's header?
2.- Printing reports in different formats: i.e. PDF
When the reports are run in the client/server Report Runtime environment, the user can print the report in different formats including PDF, Delimited, XML, etc.
Is there a way to print the report in PDF or any other format from my web application that uses the RWServlet?
3.- Report appearance in the browser
Run in the browser the report loses formatting as opposed to client/server.
Is there a way to make the report look good through some sort of general configuration, or should I fix each element that doesn't look god in Live Previewer, or somewhat else?
4.- Report in Excel
Is it possible to save the report to an Excel file or to generate it in Excel from Oracle Reports?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Whew...lot's of questions...let's see if I can help (at least a little)...
1. Quite possibly, the user is/was pulling the image from the database? I do this in my environment, so it might be worth a look.
2. You should be able to print in any format from the web. You may need to adjust your destype/desname/desname parameters.
3. Only thing I can think of here is that maybe the original report was not written using a standard web-friendly font?
4. There's a couple of ways you can get data into an excel file:
A. Use DDE and poke the data right into it (messy when you need to print the regular Oracle report too).
B. Add an option to print to file and set the desformat to DELIMITEDDATA. Be sure to go through the data model and set Exclude from XML Output to 'Yes' for fields you don't need. Also, be aware that this may not come out in the same order as they do on the printed report. You can read about this on Metalink.
Hopefully that helps you a little bit. :)

How can i invoke an Oracle Report w/in a Java application?

I have a custom java application that I would like to integrate with a report tool. I am reviewing Oracle Reports but I was not sure how I would integrate an Oracle Report.
I have read that I can use Active-X but. Has anyone ever done this? Also - is there any support for a java bean?
I am also wondering how I could pass in report parameters.
It is my understanding that Oracle will generate either pdf or html output which could be viewed through the browser or adobe acrobat reader.
Is this correct?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Bonnie,
I create a URL that calls Oracle Reports Server running under IAS, using PDF or html as the output. The Java code calls up the commandline and starts the default browser with the specified URL, which then talks to Oracle Reports Server... and voila... the report shows up in your browser!
have fun...
void execURL ( String pURL )
System.out.println(pURL);
if (System.getProperty("os.name").equals("Windows NT") )
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start "+pURL);
catch (Exception e1) {System.out.println(e1.getMessage()); }
else
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start "+pURL);
catch (Exception e2) {System.out.println(e2.getMessage());}

Error while running Java application using Crystal Reports 2011

Hello,
I would like to ask for your help.
Environment details:
Java based standalone application in Development environment.
Crystal Reports 2011 (no SP applied)
Oracle 11g ( 32 bit client installed)
Win7 64 bit OS.
Workflow:
While running the java application, which will display the reports I am getting the below mentioned error. I guess that is because I am missing the Crystal runtimes (Correct me if I am wrong).
I know that CR2011 do not have any sdks/ jar available for deployment. In this case, which runtimes should I be using? Does installing CR2011 be enough in the development box?
Please provide me the link from which I can download the same.
Let me know if I need to provide more details on this. Any suggestions are most welcome.
Thank You.

Reports from Java and Oracle database

Hi
I need to generate couple of reports from my application, with Java as front end and oracle 11.2.0.3.0. database . Reports are having very simple select statements, using the criteria users enter from GUI. we don't need to execute a direct select statement from Java, with the where clauses . I did some research and found out about Pipelined functions. I tested for a small set of records and it worked fine. Will this work for large data set? any drawbacks of using this method? Any other methods for this requirement?
Thanks in advance
JP

Pipeline table functions do not sound like the appropriate approach. It is designed to primarily deal with data transformations. Using it as a rendering engine for report writing? There are fundamental problems with such an approach.
As Dave and Andre commented - the CORRECT means for PL/SQL to pass "data" to Java (or other client languages) is via reference cursors (pointers that the client can use for referencing SQL cursor programs on the server). And Java as a report writer does not really compare with the ease and flexibility that Oracle Apex (Application Express) provides as a reporting framework.

Report Execution from within Java application

I am currently running my Oracle reports through a Java application where I just create a HttpURLConnection to the reports server and push in my report request, and then read the connection input stream in order to obtain the generated report. This is working without too many problems except that in some cases where the report is generated but the application does not seem to understand the reponse.
I see that there is in fact a Java API available for the reports. Is it possible to integrate this into my application in the same/similar way as I am doing now? If so, where can I get the associated docs as the supplied Javadocs are not too explicit.
Thanks
Justin

You'll have to write a custom ClassLoader to do this - modifying the existing ClassPath from within the JVM just isn't possible.

Accessing XML Publisher Reports from Java application

How to accesss the XDO Reports from Java application?
I am wondering that we need to get the URL for accessing the report and call the URL with in Java program?
Is that right? Is there any other option? Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need to write some class based on the BI Publisher APIs taking data, template, output format, etc.

Showing Oracle reports in current web application with JBOSS as AS

hi:
I have installed the Oracle AS(10g 10.1.2.0.2) and the reports services... I have also installed the Stand Alone J2EE Thin Client (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/Tools/index.html)
My current web project uses JBoss and I have to show oracle reports keeping the current environment.
I have followed the steps provided on the doc mentioned in the above link.
first i did the following steps ( please refer to the text of that readme doc below)
(//text of readme doc, I have done these steps
1. Deploy THINCLIENT_HOME/reports/j2ee/reports.ear on the J2EE application server.
2. Add the following JAR files to the classpath of the J2EE application server:
* THINCLIENT_HOME/reports/jlib/rwrun.jar
* THINCLIENT_HOME/jlib/zrclient.jar
3. Use THINCLIENT_HOME/vbroker4/lib/vbjboot.jar while starting the application server.
but i cannot understand what is written just next to the above llines in that doc I am pasting those points from that doc
(text of readme doc:
The following section provides detailed instructions on carrying out the above 3 configuration steps with OC4J Standalone Distribution 10g (9.0.4). You need to consult your J2EE application server's documentation to carry out the same steps for your application server.
1. Add the following to OC4J_HOME/j2ee/home/config/server.xml
<application name="reports" path="<THINCLIENT_HOME>/reports/j2ee/reports.ear" auto-start="true" />
2. Add the following to OC4J_HOME/j2ee/home/config/http-web-site.xml
<web-app application="reports" name="web" root="/reports"/>
3. Add the following to OC4J_HOME/j2ee/home/config/application.xml
<library path="<THINCLIENT_HOME>/reports/jlib/rwrun.jar"/>
<library path="<THINCLIENT_HOME>/jlib/zrclient.jar"/>
according to what i understood i went to OC4J which is under my Oracle_Infra directory and then completed the above steps
after that I ran the command (according to this doc):
java -Xbootclasspath/p:<THINCLIENT_HOME>/vbroker4/lib/vbjboot.jar -jar oc4j.jar
the result of this command is following
06/02/09 14:57:37 Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.0.0) initialized
and then it never comes back to command prompt
Now after all these steps...i don't understand what to do next and my problem is still there which is How to deploy reports made by oracle reports from my web project links
please help
Waqas

If the links in your example report1 and report2
follow my format stated earlier
http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet/report=reportnam
e.rdf&destype=cache& paramform=htmlcss&server=<YourReportSe
rverName>&userid=scott/tiger@hrdb&desformat=pdf
This is what I believe
>
so http://machine:port/ is the port where
JBoss is running and
This should be the port that the report server is listening on
>
server=<YourReportServerName> is the name of
my oracle report server
so I call the above link in my current application
and the report would show up
Yes
>
that means (correct me if I am wrong) that my reports
would have to be deployed in OracleAS
Yes
>
I have to try all this yet as till this point I was
trying to run Oracle reports deployed in JBoss...
This may be possible, I am not sure.

Oracle J2EE Thin Client?
I am not sure what this is used for in your setup.
