New Collateral Available on OTN for Forms Developers.

Question

Oracle Product Management are pleased to announce the publication of new collateral,
now available to all customers though OTN - http://otn.oracle.com.
New Java Beans for Spell Checking and File Uploading:
Many customers are now using Java to extend the functionality of the Forms UI. Two
of the most common requests are for the ability to integrate a spell checker into
Forms, and to upload files from the client to the application server. We have
example code as well as on line demos which show how you can achieve this. Try it
out at:
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/forms/sample_code_index.htm
New Forms Services FAQ:
With more and more customers deploying on the Web, we have published a new FAQ on
"Oracle9i Application Server Release 1 Forms Services". This covers the most common
questions and issues customers encounter; including deploying through Firewalls and
Proxies, integration and platform support. Check this out on:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/formsservicesfaq.html
New Client Platform Statement of Direction:
About to deploy on the Web and you want to confirm the certification status of your
client platform? Then check out the new Statement of Direction available at:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/clientplatformsod.pdf
New Performance Collector White Paper:
Concerned about performance? Need to find out where your application is spending
its processing time? Read the new Performance Collector for Oracle Forms 6i. The
Performance Collector helps the application developer determine the time spent by a
Forms application in each tier of the 3-tier architecture.

Forms Feature Obsolescence for 9i:
The Oracle Forms product suite has been around for many years now, and whenever
possible, has faithfully maintained compatibility with older product versions. With
the move to pervasive Web deployment and the release of Oracle Forms version 9i, we
are simplifying the product set and continuing to optimize the product for building
and deploying Internet applications. Read our new Obsolescence Paper at:

Hi :
It seems that the sample of 'File Uploading' do not support the double byte character file name , such as the simple chinese file name.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Is the problem here that you get a value error when calling the FileUploader package - if this is the issue then simply do a global search and replace in FileUpload.pll to change 256 to 512, then the variables should be long enough for Double Byte. If you're using Unicode then change all the 256's to 1024 to be safe.
The Java Code for the utility does not have any constrained lengths so I expect the problem is in the PL/SQL.
If this works then let me know and I'll amend the demo and re-post it.
