JDev vs. Oracle Forms

Hello,
Can any body reveal strategic question about
Oracle Forms and forms in JDeveloper.
I mean somethink like "when should I use what"?
According to Oracle's Internet strategy
Java is a prime concern for development and
here is some misunderstanding for me.
From perspective it is obviously to use JDeveloper.
But for what reason and what prespective should
I start new project with Oracle Forms?
Thanks in advance.

Michel,
Question 1 - the file will no longer be useable with Reports 10g - you will loose everything.
Question 2 - No, newer versions of Oracle Forms and Reports are not backward compatible with older versions.
Question 3 - No, see answer to question 2.

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

Calling Web Service passing xml from Oracle Forms

Hello,
I need to call a .net web service from Oracle Forms that passes in xml data and returns xml data.
I have seen several examples of how to create a wrapper in jdev and then to import the code
into forms. I just have not seen any examples that are passing parmameters especially not xml
as a parameter and that have an active wsdl that I can see how it relates to the code created.
I have a wrapper but cannot figure out where and what notation to use to include passing in
an xml object.
Does anyone have an example passing in xml where the wsdl is still available to see?'
Forms version 10.1.2.0.2. Jdev 10.1.3.4
Thanks,
Linda

Also here you have several options...
1. you can make a PJC (bean) which include a webservice stub generated with axis (you can make a stub and also test a webservice with this tool: www.soapui.org)..
2. you can make a database webservice with JPublisher and then just call a pl/sql wrapper for this webservice
4. you can call a webservice with java api (HttpsURLConnection, HttpURLConnection or with apache HTTPClient api) from your PJC for example:
the code below is used as java stored procedure to call a .net webservice on https

It looks Oracle Form/Applet die hard versus J2EE Servlet/JSP/JSF & AJAX

I left the form forum for a while and am busy with transfering our Oracle web forms app to Struts based J2EE application (just because the Oracle EE AS is the moving cause, it's out of my control.). After a year or so on J2EE which I enjoyed the fresh OO coding while keep enhancing Oracle webform app in production, I have some thought on Applet vs J2EE JSP/JSF plus AJAX.
1) JSP itself is hard to avoid the full screen refreshing even though user just does partial changes ,e.g., lists, on the screen, it has to use AJAX to do the tricks. While partial refreshing in applet is natural default behavior.
2) Forms is really an RAD, while J2EE's IDEs does help a bit(IBM's Websphere v6 even called iRAD) which takes way longer programming time compared to Forms. One IBM's article says it trys to win the Oracle Forms developers by giving the familiar graphical way of drag/drop GUI, so IBM recognizes the RAD coding power of Oracle Forms. So, IBM promotes the RAD similar to Oracle Forms.
3) GUI/business rules related validation: Applet offered a great advantage over JSP/ even JSF which to avoid the full screen refresh, AJAX/JavaScript is used heavily. User friendly interaction of applet is way better than J2EE.
4) Browser's back/refresh buttons also are headache to J2EE, expecially we need to support IE and Firefox. Applet basically is not bothered by these buttons.
Recently, I read techi news said that the new chips will make the network transfer speed 10 time faster than now-even the cell phone transfer the image will be way faster. Then I predict the applet, just like IBM's mainframe, will see its Spring again, not like now in its winter. Especially the Oracle Forms makes coding easier than pure applet coding.
Oracle folks, kepp beefing up the Oracle Forms, don't just pay attention to JDev. J2EE IDE, most of all, remove the Oracle EE ASxx block, be open. Oracle EE ASxx is really not a pretty baby, even though so Oracle thinks it is.

1) Why we are transfering your Oracle web forms app to Struts based J2EE application?
Since our corporate is IBM world-DB2/UDB, WebSphere AS (WAS) etc. It only allows Oracle Forms/reports servers to be compatible with the infrastructure. It does not allow to purchase another EE app server(espeically LDAP). We could not upgrade our forms/reports6i to 9i or 10g.
2.Therefore the Oracle EE AS is the moving cause, it's out of my control because I did my best to talk to Oracle sales, but no avail. I am glad that I got a good chance to beef up my J2EE Struts skills.
If extract out the forms/report9i/10g engines from the Oracle EE AS 9i/10g, (don't attempt to bundle sell the EE AS to customers-regardless of the shrinked 9.0.4 forms/reports services version, it's still another EE AS) and make them compatible with other ASs(espcially the LDAP), then Oracle Forms will have more customers.

Oracle forms to j2ee/web application

Hello all,
I need help with converting "oracle forms" to j2ee/web application. There are only 2-3 forms. But I needed to know how to do it from scratch. I looked at some softwares available to do it. But its costly.
Basically the company I am working with, needed all the forms online, so that they can access it using a browser. As part of the development, I am using jdeveloper 10g.
could some help me out
Thanks a lot
san

Well if you need your Forms accesible from a browser you don't need to convert them to Java - you just use Forms on the Web - http://otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade
If you still want to convert to Java have a look at the Forms page for more info:

and also here:

Oracle Forms Installation

Hi All,
I have a basic doubt regarding the installation of Oracle Forms & Reports. I already have an Oracle 10g database installed on my system, now in my trial for installing Oracle Forms and Reports, I am downloading the Oracle Developer suite 10g for Windows, I hope which contains both Oracle database, as well Forms & Reports. Does this mean I have to remove the existing Oracle database on my system, and then reinstall everything freshly, or can I go ahead with only installing Forms & Reports directly..
Please guide me.
Thanks!!

Hi All,
Thanks for your input. I successfully installed Oracle Developer Suite on my system. Here, I have one more question, I already have JDeveloper 10g executable on my system, and with this installation I have two JDeveloper components. I will anyway delete the first one, rather uninstalling it, as it is only a executable file.
My question is whether this JDeveloper along with Oracle Developer suite an executable file or an installation? coz, had it been only an executable file I can install JDeveloper 11g on my system and have both versions running. If this JDev 10g is an installation file, then how can i install JDeveloper 11g on my system? I mean, can I now install JDeveloper 11g separately?
Many Thanks!!

Questions on oracle forms?!?

Hi, all.
I need some help for oracle forms 10g.
I have some very important questions, pls help.
1) If i have VBean and say this.getCientProperty(Object o). Is this method returning me the value of property specified in the properties palete in oracle forms builder i.e. if i write this.getClientProperty("Name") -> it returns the name of the bean(is it valid for other components like VTextField for example)?
2)Could i call methods from the server on the client and how? I read that server method could be wrapped in pl/sql procedure(could you give mi simple example)?
3)As i understand the only way, that one form can communicate with one bean is with getProperty and setProperty methods, is it?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Hi Francois. First i want to thank you, because you are helping me.
First to say using ugly tags is not a problem, because this xml is only in the memory(it will be nice to be with good tag names but not mandatory).
Here is what "sign" process means:
This process is executed on the client not on the server. So after the xml document is generated it must be signed i.e. with java crypto api and bouncy castle api i create signature from this xml(with algorithms from the api) this signature is like hashcode(String). This string must be passed on the server and there with other algorithms to be verified.
Imagine you have to sign some bank check(represented as web form for example or electronic file) and send it to some person through internet. How could the bank know that this check is signed from you? So i am working to do this possible to sign electronically documents and data. That is the idea. And i created this as a framework like a lib that only needs to be added and used. But our client wants to do the same for oracle forms applications. Unfortunatly i am not oracle forms developer but no body ask me.
I read the how to debug guide but i have some problems and cant debug. I am using vista 64, i don't know if this may be a problem. My College managed to run debug with your guide but i am not. When i hit debug debug_pjc.html every thing is ok. The form is shown but the debuger is not started.
Here is the exception:

Oracle forms alignment - Oracle adf page aligment.

hi experts,
- jdev 11.1.1.5.0 - adfbc.
i would like to began topic on ADF jsff/jspx pages utilising component alignment time consumption . and then lesser time consumption on oracle forms alignments.
if an Oracle Forms.report devlopers know about align top,left,right center... just select compoent one time hitting get aligned in a way good looking
am not comparing to about different stack tech.
my question is :
is there any other components in jdev will reduce my design time make my smarter and faster. good looking in alignments with small amount time.
so far,
may be some other way. i dnt know i putting lot of time in desgining than my business logic.
if i ready to prepare a adf page means
design time take 5 hr a day.
business logic & validations & bla bla sometime preety hard. but it will went less than three hours.
am feel free to using compoents in adf. but sometmies ran into trouble(not errors) some ugly degins made by me.
not bad i learned some tricks here(for desgins adf pages) and some blogs. eventhough some times i made some mistakes in designs.
could any one show me way. how to do quick in desgins.?

I recommend that you play around with the possible combinations and layout componentsyes i do.
You can't assume that we have answers for every question, some stuff you have to find out yourself.people who are all gather here for suggesting some best way.
i expect some kind of suggestions. that's all.
play layout make little bit fishy?
P.S.: What the name change again? Why not giving us your real name?Name History:
ERP>ADF>user707.. soon i'll update my real name.
ADF is not Forms so you can'T expect that both look the same or behave the sameyes i know.
but i speaking about time consumption of adf is too longer. so this is my point. at the bottom of the line why time taken too longer.
to design a page.

Asp vs oracle forms

which one is the best choice to develop large web application
Asp or oracle forms (d2k)
in which 400-500 users will access the application
for data-entry purpose and lot of validation in that application

Kuljeet,
if I could answer this in one sentence, then there would be no question about who wins the Pulitzer prize next.
Actually it depends on many factors. First of all, using Active Server Pages creates HTML content and should be compared to Java Server Pages instead of Forms. in this case my recommendation would be to use Oracle JDeveloper and BC4J not to lock you in with Microsoft. If your application requires a rich user interface with a high volume on transactions performed then having a Java Applet interface makes sense. This is Forms then and you are doing good to use that tool. The question that you need to answer yourself is "How long stay users within the application ?", "How many LOVs and list boxes do i need?", "Is there a requirement for users to scroll big volumes of data?". Based on this and similar questions you determine the technology you need on the client Java Applet vs. HTML. If you decide for HTML, then please compare JSP and ASP. You get a copy of JDeveloper from otn.oracle.com/products/jdev.
Other factors that should appear in your equation:
latency
bandwidth
user experience with Web application
can you ask users to download and install a PlugIn
Hope this helps
Fran

Are people using jdeveloper to build application to replace Oracle Form ?

We would like to hear from customers who implemented jdeveloper solution to replace form. In terms of functionality Form was a good product. But it is time to move to something open. Did anyone successfully move their Form application to java/jsp/servlet/xml app using jdeveloper? Thanks for your time.

I just finished my third Forms -> JDev web app conversion. FWIW, my experiences were excellent all three times. However, there are three caveats here:
1) I was brought in on these cases specifically to develop JDev web apps based on existing Forms apps. J2EE and JDev are my background; not Forms. So the Forms-to-JDev productivity loss didn't affect me; I was used to the lower productivity associated with 3GL programming. YMMV, obviously.
2) I used Oracle JHeadstart on two of these projects. Compared to "vanilla" JDeveloper 10.1.2, JHeadstart gave me a lot of functionality, such as multi-row edit tables and lookup-driven LOV popups, that are expected by Forms users but that were especially muddy to implement in JDev 10.1.2. I think this is significantly mitigated by changes made in JDev 10.1.3 (certainly those two particular cases are now part of standard ADF functionality), but I've only just started using that.
3) Even with JHeadstart (and, I anticipate, even with 10.1.3), there is some "expectations adjustment" that has to be done if your user base is used to Forms. The JDeveloper web UI framework (ADF Faces, in its latest incarnation) is getting more and more "AJAX-y" and interactive, but you're still not going to fool anybody into thinking they're running a full-featured desktop application. This really isn't a criticism of JDev or ADF in any way; it's only the bleedingest edge in web apps that comes close to that kind of functionality.

JDeveloper 9.0.5 / Oracle Forms Integration

I am playing around with JDeveloper 9.0.5.1 on Linux (for production i still use JDev 9.0.3) and didnt find the PJC Wizard?
Where is the Oracle Forms Integration in Jdev 905? Where is the PJC Wizard, how to make Enhanced JavaBeans for Forms (for using with FBean-Package) ?
Documentation? Ressources?
Bye Marc

The Forms PJC Add-in is not yet available for this release.
If you want to manually set up a project for PJC work then you'll just have to go into the project properties and define a new library that points to the f90all.jar file from your forms install. You PJC code will then at least compile

Calling web service from oracle forms 10g

Problem Description:
I'm following the steps as per the doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gr2/howto/webservicefromforms/ws_10_1_3_from_forms.html
to create a java stub to call external web service and then use java importer in oracle forms to call this web service from oracle forms.
WSDL for external web service used is http://gend:83/DesignService.svc?wsdl
The service was developed by us.
Calling the web service using JDeveloper works fine but when I complie in Oracle Forms it returns wrong number of types of arguments in call SENDHELLO.
The code from oracle form to call web service is as below:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
xo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(2000);
ex ora_java.jobject;
str varchar2(100);
BEGIN
jo := GendServiceClient.new;
rv := GendServiceClient.sendHello('Nora');
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
message(Exception_.toString(ex));
END;
Any help/ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Edited by: KE Nora Loera on Jun 1, 2012 1:24 PM

My primary skill is PL/SQL but the only information I found on Oracle's site to call a web service from a 10g Form was creating a jar file and importing the java class. Since I don't want to ask our corporate IT to make changes on the UNIX box for the jar files I went a different route.
I use UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST to call a URL then load I load the data to a table as a CLOB since we have more than 4000 characters. Now I need to parse the XML and load it into a form. I have never done this so if there is a helpful site please let me know. I have looked at several sites but none do what I want.
Thanks
