Need code for call a report from stored produre in oracle9i(using rwclient)

Question

dear all,
i need a stored procedure to run the report 9i(.rdf) from pl/sql.But i have code in older version(rwcgi60).So i want stored procedure for rwclient.
The below code not working in oracle9i version.its very urgent.Thanks in advance..
create table report
(id number not null primary key,
filename varchar2(100) not null,
report_connection_id number not null,
destype varchar2(5) not null)
create table report_connection
(id number not null primary key,
user_id varchar2(100) not null,
pass varchar2(100) not null,
database_server varchar2(50) not null,
report_server varchar2(50) not null)
alter table cm.report add foreign key (report_connection_id) references cm.report_connection (id)
insert into report_connection values (1, 'scott', 'tiger', 'orcl', 'Rep60_Dev');
insert into report values (1, 'test.rdf', 1, 'PDF');
commit;
procedure pr_example (p_id report.id%type) is
cursor cur_data is
select r.filename,
c.user_id,
c.pass,
r.destype,
c.database_server,
c.report_server
from report r,
report_connection c
where r.report_connection_id = c.id
and r.id = p_id;
v_blob blob;
v_url varchar2(2000);
v_pieces utl_http.html_pieces;
v_buffer raw(2000);
v_buffer_size integer := 2000;
begin
for v_rec in cur_data loop
v_url := 'yourserver.domain.com/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?report=' || v_rec.filename || '&desformat=' ||
v_rec.destype || '&userid=' || v_rec.user_id || '/' || v_rec.pass || '@' || v_rec.database_server ||
'&server=' ||v_rec.report_server || '&destype=cache';
if v_rec.destype = 'PDF' then
owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf', false);
htp.p('content-disposition: filename='||v_rec.filename);
owa_util.http_header_close;
--you can add a bunch of elsif logic here for different destypes and setting the correct mime type.
end if;
--sets transfer timeout to be one hour
utl_http.set_transfer_timeout(3600);
--runs the report
v_pieces := utl_http.request_pieces(v_url,64000);
v_blob := empty_blob();
dbms_lob.createtemporary(v_blob,true);
for i in 1 .. v_pieces.count loop
v_buffer := utl_raw.cast_to_raw(v_pieces(i));
v_buffer_size := utl_raw.length(v_buffer);
if v_buffer_size > 0 then
dbms_lob.writeappend(v_blob, v_buffer_size, v_buffer);
end if;
end loop;
wpg_docload.download_file(v_blob);
end loop;
end;
Now run this url:
http://yourserver.domain.com/pls/dad_name/pr_example?p_id=1

A couple of years ago Sun supplied their javax.comm package (mysteriously versioned as version 2)
but they stopped it for the PC Windows.
There's an alternative: rxtx which offers an identical API as Sun did and their own native implementation for serial and parallel port handling; I have used both and the rxtx version is clearly superior to Sun's old version: http://www.rxtx.org
This question popped up recently.

Implementations of the API are currently available for Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86, and Linux x86.follow the Download link to find
Sun no longer offer's the Windows platform binaries of javax.comm, however javax.comm 2.0.3 can be used for the Windows platform, by using it in conjunction with the Win32 implementation layer provided by the RxTx project. To use that, download javax.comm for the 'generic' platform (which provides the front-end javax.comm API only, without platform specific back-end implementations bundled). Then acquire the Windows binary implementation rxtx-2.0.7pre1 from http://www.rxtx.org.
