There is no automatic way to do this in JDeveloper. I know there are some Oracle Partners offering forms to java conversion, I don't know how much of their tools are automated and done with JDeveloper. With JDeveloper+ADF you basically rewriting the Forms application from scratch (and using ADF is helpful during this process).

Oracle Forms run with Sun Java Plugin

Hello,
I have a machine which does not have Mozilla. But i wanna run the forms in Google Chrome, not IE. I installed JInitiator (the final version), but when i run the form i still got in Chrome that there are missing plugins.
I should mention that i just installed Dev Suite 10gR2 and i did not change anything in forms configuration files.
What should i change and where?
Thanks

- Prepare your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file
instead of the archive_jini tag, use the archive tag
archive=frmall.jar,...,my_jar.jar
add a special section (including the Webutil configuration)
[javaplugin]

If you don't use the Webutil library, point to the basejpi.htm start page:

- Configure the Forms Builder to use this section:

Java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.forms.handler.IHandler.getApplet()Ljava

Hello to all
I hope it is right forum for my question
I have found for error I get in Directprint this following:
When you migrate to the latest Forms version (10.1.2.3 or 11) and try using a JavaBean created with an older Forms version, you can get the following error, at runtime, in the Java Console:
Exception in thread "thread applet-oracle.forms.engine.Main-1" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.forms.handler.IHandler.getApplet()Ljava/applet/Applet
The reason is you try to use a Java Bean compiled with an older Forms JAR file, like f90all.jar.
So, to correct the issue, you have to change the Java code then re-create the JAR file:
private Main formsMain = null;
Replace:
formsMain = (Main) handler.getApplet();
by:
// getting the Forms Main class
try{
Method method = handler.getClass()
.getMethod("getApplet", new Class[0]);
Object applet = method.invoke(handler, new Object[0]);
if (applet instanceof Main) {
formsMain = (Main)applet;
}catch(Exception ex) {;}
Then create and deploy the new JAR file to your /forms/Java folder.
My problem is
But I am very poor in java code, could you guide me to do what that article said, or pointing me where find instruction how do this following
So, to correct the issue, you have to change the Java code then re-create the JAR file:Can I create Jar Directprint.jar, with command
jar cf jar-file input-file(s)
C:\DevSuiteHome_1\jdk\bin\jar cvf DirectPrint.jar DirectPrint.java
Because when I open jdeveloper to associate (Creating JAR deployments using JDeveloper ) it got error (jdeveloper with debug

Bad bind variable error in oracle forms 10g

i have a created a table in oracle database 10g
create table myimage(image_id number, image_name BLOB);
i want insert an image and retrieve an image through programing(don't want block level) in oracle forms 10g
without using java beans(and finely working in both windows XP2 and Solaries)
how can i do this please can anybody give me the source code to do this because i am new in oracle forms.
i need a immediate replay to this answer why because i have urgent requirement on this in my web erp project

You can use WEBUTIL to do so, but
without using java beans(and finely working in both windows XP2 and Solaries)WEBUTIL also contains javabean. I don't know why you have this restriction, i'd say you won't succeed without any java-bean.

What version of Forms are you running? What OS for client and server?
The only bugs I have found on this exception were in 4.5 of Forms.

Converting oracle forms into java forms

Hi all,,
would help me plz on how to convert oracle forms into java using any tool;
Is Jheadstart is the tool,, im having jeveloper version 10.1.2.1.0

There are at least two companies that are marketing Forms to Java conversion tools. I'm sure that a good Google search will locate them, and they are frequent exhibitors at Oracle-oriented conferences like Collaborate and ODTUG Kaleidoscope. But there are problems associated with doing this. I urge anyone who is considering such a project to read this article by Grant Ronald: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/formsmigration.pdf
You should carefully ask yourself and your clients and management, "Why do you want to do this?", "What benefits are you trying to realize?", "Does this make sense, and are there other options that we should be exploring?"
For instance, many people are trying to protect themselves because "Forms is going away". Oracle has stated again and again that Forms is NOT going away. In fact the recent Fusion Middleware 11g release included a new version of Forms with some significant enhancements. You may do very well just by upgrading to the latest version of Forms.
If you do decide that it still makes sense to convert, I suggest that rather that converting, you may want to redevelop from scratch. Keep the database if it is well designed - a well designed, stable database will outlast any front end that you may use against it. Then take full advantage of the capabilities of your new toolset, and leave behind the limitations and inapplicable methodologies of your old one. Oh, by the way, don't use JDeveloper 10.1.2. Use 11g if you can, or 10.1.3.5 if you must.

Using Java Access bridge (Accessibility) with oracle forms 6.0 client

I'm trying to use JAB (java Access bridge ) to capture events in oracle forms 6.0 client .
I've a Jinitiator 1.1.8 and JRE version 1.4x
I've configured JAB as per the installation guide . However the events don't surface in Java Monkey .
Has anybody encountered similar issue ? what is the solution for the issue ??
Also on one of the forums I read Jinitiator 1.3x and above is automatically recognised by Java Access bridge .
For jinitiator version less than 1.3 manual configuration is required . however I haven;'t been able to find any on the oracle forms KB
Also here is the excerpt from the link http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/accessibility/faqs/index.html
Q: Are there special steps for using Java-based applications with assistive technology?
A: If the Oracle application is written in Java, such as JDeveloper or Oracle Forms (runtime), customers must first install the latest version of Sun's Java Access Bridge. The Java Access Bridge provides the integration with screen readers such as JAWS or SuperNova that support Java. You just download the Access Bridge and install it. Sun's AccessBridge 2.0x recognizes Oracle's JInitiator 1.3x and above so no manual configuration steps are necessary. The Access Bridge is available from: http://java.sun.com/products/accessbridge. At the time this document was written, Access Bridge 2.0.1 is the most current publicly available production release; Oracle recommends upgrading to this version. Sun's AccessBridge is bundled with Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) and can be found in the Java Runtime Engine (JRE). More information for configuring such products is in the respective product documentation, or on http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/accessibility/products/index.html.

Calling Java screens from Oracle Forms application

I am working with a client that has a large Oracle forms application. Since rewriting the entire application in Java is not an option at this time, the strategic direction is that any new modules that are to be created for the application are to be done in Java and called from the Forms menu. The decision as to what tool to use to develop the Java modules is still under debate. What is the best (most seamless) way to do this...calling a Java screen from a Forms application? If anyone has any experience in this, or can direct me to some literature on it, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is a web app in Forms/Reports 10g R2 running off Oracle AS and an Oracle db. The challenge for us is that the direction is that any new enhancements (screens) are to be built using Java (in either ADF Faces or Swing, another point for debate later) and then called from the Forms app. The business client is only paying for the enhancement. They don't care about moving off Forms to Java, so any extra work on the part of IT to do this, has to be fairly minimal and doable within the project budget. The movement to Java is an IT direction. Is there a way to do this without having to build a java framework for the entire Forms application (which I assume would take some time and involve retesting the entire app)?

Error while importing java class into oracle forms 10g

Hi
I have generated a web service client using jdeveloper 10g. It consists of complex type methods. I am trying to import the class files using java importer in oracle form 10g. I am able import all of them successfully except one. That one is the main method. Please see the error and suggest me how to overcome this error.
Exception occurred: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/jdeveloper/webservices/runtime/WrappedDocLiteralStub
Thanks in advance

Do you see oracle/jdeveloper listed in "Import Java Classes" when you try to import?
If not, make sure you add C:\DevSuiteHome_1\jdev\lib\jdev.jar to FORMS_BUILDER_CLASSPATH in registry
Also excetion indicates: oracle/jdeveloper/webservices/runtime/WrappedDocLiteralStub
If you typing it - type: oracle.jdeveloper.webservices.runtime.WrappedDocLiteralStub

Java-style buttons in Oracle Forms 6i

Hey there,
Does anyone know how to create buttons with curved edges in Oracle Forms 6i? Something like those Swing components in Java?
Thanks
Al

Alex,
for Forms on the web you can use PJCs. The Forms 10g demos (http://download.oracle.com/otn/other/general/forms10gdemos9_0_4_2.zip) and the Forms 9i demos have a sample Java class for this. The same solution should work in 6i as well.

How to use Java Script in Oracle Forms 10g

Hello,
Appreciate if anyone could help me using Java Script in Oracle Forms 10g?
Thanks
GM

Thank you for your reply. I was reading on the metalink that we could use the to call the java script from oracle Forms 10g (Doc ID 265863.1)
Example:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:void(window.open("http://www.oracle.com","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,"));self.close()','_blank');
I tried it but it did not open the any window as it claims. Am I missing anything? Is there any IE related setting which I need to modify for the above to work?
Regards

2:-add this jar file into archive in formsweb.cfg.
3:-Add this this jar file(which is in my home- java folder) in form_class path in registry.
Now when I try to locate this jar file in my oracle form.There is no such jar file.what are the steps to use this jar file in oracle forms bean item.
Please told me what is wrong here.
thank you

aaditya.

It is unclear where you are having a problem. Is your issue at runtime (when the form runs in the browser) or when working in the Builder on the form?
Also be aware that you will need to sign your jar and include some new manifest entries. Refer to the Java 7u51 documentation and blogs that discuss the changes.
