Oracle forms is this possible?!?

hi, all.
I am a java developer and i am not familiar with oracle forms 10g.
Recently i had a project about digital signing of web forms(on java). So the idea was: We have applet that runs in the client browser, it uses the JSObject to collect all input fields and it's values from CUSTOM web form and create xml document, that must be signed. This applet is like a lib.
I must do the same thing with a oracle form.
Is this possible: collect the oracle form's items on the client??? The form is custom i.e. unspecified items and count items.
If this is possible the next step is to verify the signed xml on the server. So how does oracle forms work. Is there a server side. What is the architecture? Could the xml be passed to the server and how the oracle form's items must be accessed on the server(i need them to verify the xml).
I will be glad if you could help me soon.
Excuse me for my bad english :(.
Best regards.

What do you mean? :( As i said i am not very familiar with oracle forms.
Here is simple scenario of usage:
Oracle developer creates a oracle form. In some way i have to deliver for example jar. He adds it to to his project and in some way specifies that that jar signes his form.
The form is in module so i guess i have access to it.
What i learned for now is that there are VBeans that could help to do this(item collection). I found that this beans are graphical components too i.e. we can place awt Componets in them, but may be i don't need to use them. I read that the VBean is on the middle trier, but when i wirte JOptionPane.showMessage(..) it is displayed on the client i can't understand why. I need to collect the items in the form not in the bean.
The question is can i collect in some way the form's items on the client. Oracle form runs in some applet could this help me? Totally confused. The documentation for oracle forms is very unclear for me.
I forgot to say that there are some classes in the oracle forms lib like "RadioButtonItem", TextFieldItem and so on. Are theze coresponding to form items? May do some connection between them?!?

Hi all,

A colleague of me did it like this:
* the scanner is connected to a network document server.
* the document server sends(ftp) the image to the oracle XDB
* a form shows the scanned documents(using a view on the ftp directory in XDB using path_view)
* in this form the user can move the scanned document(s) to a (blob field) in a table.
Hope this helps a bit...

Adding Additional Parameter in Oracle Reports -- Is this Possible?

Hi,
Please help me with this predicament: There are several reports being called through a single form, wherein a common parameter list is being used. Now I need to add another parameter called BLANKPAGES to one report only. Is it possible for me to put this script inside that one report's trigger?
ADD_PARAMETER ( pl_id , ' BLANKPAGES ' , TEXT_PARAMETER , ' NO ' ) ;
What are my other options?
Thanks in advance,
Jansen

Try this
if :report_name = 'NEW_REPORT' (user substr if needed) then
ADD_PARAMETER ( pl_id , ' BLANKPAGES ' , TEXT_PARAMETER , ' NO ' ) ;
end if;

Changing prompt colour in oracle forms 6i to canvas background (solution)

One of the really infuriating things about Oracle Forms 6i (and possibly other versions) is that when you set a visual attribute for a item the prompt, as well ad field, takes that background colour. Seing it is common to have the field background white and the canvas background gray this is a paid. The following procedure sets the background colour for all prompts to the background colour of the canvas the prompts field sites on - i.e. it automaticaly sorts out the problem.
PROCEDURE lp_setup_prompt_colour IS
-- This procedure sets the background colour of all prompts to the
-- items canvas background colour
this_block varchar2(70) :=
get_form_property (name_in ('SYSTEM.CURRENT_FORM'), first_block);
last_blockname constant varchar2 (70) := -- Initialise current block to first block
get_form_property (name_in ('SYSTEM.CURRENT_FORM'), last_block); -- Define the last block
field_name varchar2(70); -- the name of the current item
this_item varchar2(70) := -- Initialise current item to the first item in the form
get_block_property (this_block, first_item);
last_field varchar2 (70) := -- Initialise last item to the last item in the first block
get_block_property (this_block, last_item);
canvas varchar2(70);
begin
loop -- Go through every item in the form
field_name := this_block || '.' || this_item; -- set the current item
canvas := get_item_property( field_name, ITEM_CANVAS );
if canvas is not null then -- don't bother if null canvas item
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(field_name, PROMPT_BACKGROUND_COLOR,
GET_CANVAS_PROPERTY(canvas ,BACKGROUND_COLOR));
end if;
-- Stop looping once the last item in the form has been added to the list
exit when this_block = last_blockname and this_item = last_field;
if this_item = last_field then -- weve looped round and are back at first field
-- Step into the next block
this_block := get_block_property (this_block, nextblock);
this_item := get_block_property (this_block, first_item);
last_field := get_block_property (this_block, last_item);
else
-- Step to the next item in the block
this_item := get_item_property (field_name, nextitem);
end if;
end loop;
end;

Oracle forms installation - some help need

I am trying to install Oracle forms - but get the follwing message:
Checking swap space: 576 MB available, 1535 MB required. Failed <<<<
Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before
continuing with the installation,at which time they will be rechecked.
Continue? (y/n) [n]
actually - I have no choice to choose y and try what's going on - so - is this means that I shoul add some 1.5 GB of RAM to my computer? (I have already 700MB, only 300 of them are used)? I am using WinXP, free HD is above 3.5 GB, 2.4GHz processor.
Can I try to find some workaround - e.g. simply try to copy jar's from 'stage' (direcotry in installation disk) in Oracle application server's lib directory (where it is in Oracle_Home directory?)?
Any experience with installing Oracle forms?
This was trying to run setup.exe, but when I am trying to run wsf.exe - I get:
SEVERE: Unable to locate the MDAC Update Status registry key value, probably because the installation was aborted.
MDAC possibly stands for Microsoft Data Access Components? If so - where is problem - I can run a lot of DB servers, including Oracle server itself normally?
BTW - is there any free service available for Oracle Forms skills development (e.g. as for Oracle SQL the Intel test drive is available?)

however - after this I receive the standard messgae:
'setup.exe has encountered a problem and need to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience..... Please tell Microsoft about thsi problem'
actually - I have little ideas what to do further - maybe I should look for other Oracle Installer version? I am using:
Oracle Universal Installer version: 10.1.0.2.0
and I am trying to install
Oracle Deveoper Suite: 10.1.2.0.2 (so - a bit higher)
I can run OUI without any problems, my Default JRE is 1.5_1 - so - all seems to be OK?
Please - if any idea - help me :))
Thanks in advance!

Can I create a dynamic cursor in a program unit on oracle form....

Hello folks,
can I create a dynamic cursor on client side ( in a program unit on the oracle form), is it possible, I Know how to create it on server side using Ref cursor, but on client side i got this message (can't be created on client side or something like that).... please if someone can help

> select count(*) from t_comsis
<p>But when you put that select string into a varchar2 variable, it won't compile. Which makes it hard to create anything "dynamic".
<p>In Forms, you can create and populate a record group dynamically, which is ok as long as your select will not retrieve too many (more than several hundred) rows.
<p>Or, your other option is to use the Forms Exec_SQL dynamic sql package.

Integrate a Oracle Forms Application in SAP Enterprise Portal

Hello togheter,
i would like to integrate a Oracle Froms Application in our SAP Enterprise Portal. We use Oracle Froms AS 10g v10.0.2. I read that oracle forms supports single-sign-on, but i don't understand exactly how does it works? What steps i need to do? Has anybody experience in this topic? Supports oracle forms application SAP Logon Tickets?
Many thanks in advance and greetz,

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I can't use the first option from you, because of the necessity to use SAP Logon Tickets.
If i understand everthing right, it is possible to implemant the SAP-Logon-Ticket-Libary in the integrated application. By Oracle Forms is this not possible, because it is a framework application. The authentification to the Oracle Forms application is transferred over the Oracle Application Server. It is also no possiblity to implement the libary in the application server.
Today i talked to the Oracle Support and they said that one solution is to use the Oracle Access Management as Middle-Software between SAP EP and Oracle Application Server.
What do you think about this solution? It is really not possbile to integrate Oracle forms in SAP EP with SAP-Logon-Ticket without an extra software?
Thanks in advance,

How to use Java Beans in Oracle Forms 11g at 64 bit windows7

Hello Experts,
I am using Oracle forms 11.1.2.2.0 with weblogic 10.3.6 generic at windows 7 64 bit.
My java version is jdk1.7.0_51.
Now I have a htmlbutton.jar (which is for bean item in oracle form and this jar file works well for oracle forms 11g 32 bit windows 7 environment).
I have takken steps:
1:-Put jar file in home\java folder.
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
regards
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.

Question on Dynamic Query Data Source and Form Folders in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi there -
I have one interesting requirement in Oracle Forms.
This is what I wanted to do.
1. Have a LOV and Go button on Form.
2. From LOV, I will select a pre-defined custom table and click Go.
3. Based on the selected custom table, I have to populate the Block (Tabular Format).
4. User should be able to do update, delete, insert on this block.
5. User should be able to use the Oracle Form folders functionality (select only necessary column and save views etc. Std folder functionality).
6. If user selects a different custom table name in the LOV on top, I need to refresh the data from the block based on this new table. Remaining functionality should be as it is (steps 3 to 5).
You can see here, I am going to have dynamic query data source (Table Name as well as column mapping) on the block. I do not know before hand how many columns the user selected table has!
This is what I have planned for this so far but I have some major questions before I can move on with this design:
1. I am going to create a table structure with fixed number of column in form (40 cols assuming that the custom table will not have more that 40 cols). (Kind of limitation but it's okay as of now).
2. Dynamically populate the block based on the table name selected by the user from LOV. Dynamically change the table column names based on the table selected etc.
3. Perform insert, update, delete using PL/SQL package.
So far it looks okay.
Now my real question is,
Can user still be able to user "Folders" functionality here? I have never done this kind of development before and I doubt the dynamic column naming, dynamic column data source will really work for "folders"!
Also, I am not really sure whether user will be able to save these "folder" queries?
Okay so form experts, can you ppl suggest me if this is really going to work? Are there any better ways to do this?
Initially I tried to do this in OA Framework but I got stuck at because as per OAF developer guide "I cannot user OAF personalization for dynamic items, regions etc".
For more info on that thread see this link...
Re: setUserCustomizable issue!
Thanks in advance for the help.

Problem using views containing xpath expressions with Oracle Forms

Mark,
Nice to see you back on the forum answering questions.
This example is based on the standard purchaseorder schema.
i registered the schema, created a relational table and then created
a view using xpath.everything works well and i am able to select the data
using sql*plus. Now this views is like any other view, when i describe the
view, i can see the all the data types are valid for the columns and also the lengths.
Now when i try to base a data block in oracle forms using this view, i get error
"ORA-24324 - service handle not initialized."
Whereas if i create another view on top of the first view and then base the data block on this view, it works for me. i described the second view from sql*plus and everything seems to be same for me.
this is the same behaviour from database 9i r2 and it exists in 10g r1 also.
Any hints as what might be the problem or you would like me to file a tar for this.
create or replace view purchaseorder_header_xml
as
select id
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/Reference') reference
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/Requestor') requestor
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/User')      po_user
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/CostCenter') costcenter
       ,extractvalue(xml_data, '/PurchaseOrder/SpecialInstructions') spl_instructions
from tab_xmldata
create or replace view purchaseorder_header
as select * from purchaseorder_header_xml
/Raghu

Not used Forms for years. However I suspect that Forms is trying to poke around behind the view and not understanding what it sees. I expect you'll need to open a Forms Tar to get to the bottom of this. It also appears that you a workaround which is to create a view on the view by the sound of it..

How to Display Grid in ORacle Forms

Hi Friends and Experts
I have a requirement to display the records in Grid in ORacle Forms. This grid is a kind of Java grid. Help on this or any reference material for implementing this would be grately appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Ahmed

what forms-version?
what exactly do you mean with grid? Do you have a special ready-made component you want to use ? Do you have any functional requirements for your grid?
For a "normal" data grid, you could just layout your data in tabular way, perhaps with a stacked canvas, to have a scrollable area to the right
If you use forms in web you could use a javabean for this, if so have a look at Francois's blog-page http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/40-categorie-461064.html
hope this helps
