Oracle.forms PACKAGE?

Hello experts,

please send me the link where i can read and create the program in java by using the oracle.forms classes.
thanks

Good luck finding this documentation. I'm pretty sure Oracle has not published this documentation to the public - at least I have never found it! :) If you happen to come across it, please share! ;)

Can't find VBean, IView and oracle.forms.* classes

I posted this on the JDeveloper's forum, with no luck obviously.
What settings need to be changed to be able to browse through oracle.forms.* classes?. I cannot extend VBean neither implement IView; when I try to recompile the demos from OTN I get errors telling me the directory oracle\forms\handler and others alike cannot be found.
Something curious is I can compile the source in JD 3.2 version and I cannot in version 9i.
Other thing is, when I create a new project in version 3.2 I can no longer see classes in the oracle.forms package.

To get the "Javadoc" for the iview interface check the online help of Forms for iView.
You didn't mention which version of oracle forms are you using. Are you using the Oracle9iDS install?
The oracle.forms.* classes are usually under the Java directory of a Forms installation.
If you are using Oracle9i JDeveloper you should be using Oracle9i Forms as well.

Using DBMS packages in Oracle forms 4.5

Hi,
Can DBMS_* packages be used in Oracle forms 4.5?
If it can be used i would like to have some examples of the same?
Thanks..

If you want to display the *.txt file use ole object to do that and if you want to read the data from the text file and display in the text field then use textio package.
Hope this helps you.

Accessing packages with Oracle Forms 9i

I created a package in my sql session which contains only variables. When I connect to the database through Oracle Forms and try to access these variables in a trigger I receive the error "Cannot directly access remote package variables or cursor" How can I access these variables from within a forms module?

If you want to access a client side device I would look at webutil, there are utilities for hooking into C DLLs. Strictly speaking webutil is only certified wil 10g forms but it should work in 9i Forms.

Oracle.forms.handelr.* package???

Hi guys..
i have downloaded some samples of integrating JavaBeans into oracle forms; these samples require some oracle packages like:
oracle.forms.handelr.*
oracle.forms.ui.*
oracle.forms.properties.*
where can i get these from, and how to install them??
thanx in advance.. Mourad

Mohammed,
all Forms Java files are in the forms90/java/f90all.jar package. If you don't have Forms installed then look at the JDeveloper library, there is one for Forms. If you use the latter then make sure that all dependecy files get deployed with your Forms applications. This is not necessary if using the Forms jar file from teh Forms installation.

Getting Logged on User'Information in an Oracle-Form SSO Partner Application

Hi.
I could run Flight-of Fancy Application and capture user's information by calling the
"Parse_cookie " Procedure.(use the Scenario 2 - Access the Portal and then the FOF App)
and defined an Oracle-Form application as Partner application like FOF.
I want to have Logged on user'Information in the "Oracle-Form" . But the Fucntion owa_cookie.get dosen't work correctly.please let me know what can I do ?
Thanks in advanced.

Thanks in advanced. If you're writing your own partner application, then you are correct to get the user information from the output variables
from the parse_url_cookie procedure. You should then set the information you want to keep track of in the cookie, or combination
of cookie and persistent storage in the database. Take care of the security implications while doing this.
On subsequent calls to your application, the user info should be obtained from the cookie and the database, if you
are using a combination of the cookie and database storage to keep your info.
The owa_cookie.get routine is used to read the cookie, which is generated with owa_cookie.send.
These routines work fine, when invoked correctly.
If you are having trouble with them, you're probably not using the calls properly.
The following code provides an example of how to use the owa_cookie calls...
create or replace package testcookie
is
    procedure show (p_name IN VARCHAR2);
    procedure send
        p_name    IN VARCHAR2,

Oracle Forms 6.0 Run Time available?

Hi,
What runtime software is required to support an application that uses Oracle Forms 6?
Is there is some type of runtime package available for download?
If so, can I incorporate that package into a Wise Install created installation procedure as a called exe along with my other stuff?

John,
Thanks for the reply. Once I down load and install the forms runtime, can I then incorporate that piece within my Wise Install?

4) verify if you are using the right installation medium (jdk 32 bit, wls 32 bit , fmw 32 bit
in your OraInventory/logs directory is a *.out file for your installation please can you put this file in the forum

How to read a Value from Excel Cell into Oracle Forms 10g with Java

Did any one Implamented a Java PJC to integrate Excel on Oracle Forms 10g?
I Open Excel Applikation.
Open a File like c:\import_test.xls
read a number 05 from A:1 (i get it as return value).
Save a number in a variable in Forms 10g
Can any one help my please?
Thanks

why don't you use webutil.
it has package client_ole2 which allows you to have programmatic interface with excel application.
this is especially useful if the excel to be read is available in the client.

Calling a web service in Oracle forms

Hi,
I find problems when trying to use a web service in the oracle forms. The problem is in the "select ...". the error shows that the type must be an sql authorised type. can somebody help me? this is the source of my program:
declare
lespays ORA_JAVA.JARRAY;
longueur number;
i number;
monpays ora_java.jobject;
begin
lespays:=getpays;
monpays:=ora_java.get_object_array_element(lespays,0);
select p.nom_pays from pays p,(select tpaysuser.getcodepays(monpays) as code_pays from dual) gp where p.code_pays=gp.code_pays;
end;

ok, so you have at least 2 solutions:
1. you get the data into a loop through your Java array.
2. you use the EXEC_SQL package function to create a dynamic SQL cursor
Select ... from the_table where code in ('c1', ..., 'cn')Francois

Importing Vb Dll in Oracle Forms 6i

If any one have idea importing vb dll in oracle forms 6i. If any one have idea to Use ORA_FFI package or any other way.

The Forms Builder Help is the best source of information. It has plenty of examples too, like this one I copied from the Help:
/* Find foreign library handle for
   a given library name */
BEGIN
   libhandle := ora_ffi.find_library
            ('mylib.dll');
END;

Calling stored procedure in Oracle forms

I have a stored procedure in Oracle which is declared as follows in the package
SFCS1.Company_Selection(O_Cursor IN OUT T_Cursor, cls IN Varchar2);
Where T_Cursor is defined as a Ref Cursor
From the Oracle forms I'm using the following code
SFCS1.Company_Selection(A,my_cls);
go_block('Block50');
Execute_Query;
I get the error message "FRM40505:Oracle Error: Unable to Perform Query". If I hardcode the value of my_cls in the query it runs properly. Any solutions will be really helpful
Further to this, I want to put the single quotes around a value (for eg. 'A') from a variable. For instance I'm getting a value from my_cls and for the output I want to surround it with the single quotes, can somebody tell me how to do it.
Thanks in advance

This is a bit of a roundabout way to do it? Try setting up the block data source as procedure and set the values in the property palette of the data block.
e.g.
Query Data Source Type = Procedure

Calling Stored procedure in Oracle 11g from Oracle forms developer 6i

We have Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7.0 ) database (64 bit) installed on Windows Server 2008.
In this database, we have stored procedure ABC(arg1) which is accesing a table in another instance through DB LINK. If we EXECUTE this procedure from SQL/TOAD. It runs successfully and generates the desired output.
If we write the contents of the stored procedure in the PROGRAM UNIT / ANY TRIGGER in FORM 6i then also, It runs successfully and generates the desired output.
It is also mentioned, that if we try to use any table in the same instance (and not through DBLINK) then it works fine.
However, if we try to call this stored procedure (which is accesing a table in another instance through DB LINK) from ORACLE FORMS 6i in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger then the FORM BUILDER gets hanged while compiling the form developed in FORMS 6i.
Please provide a solution to this problem.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Forms 6i was never meant to run against a 11g database, this was not tested and is also not supported.Well, that is not completely true. Developer 6i is supported against a 11g database, but only for Oracle Apps R11. That means that for most other customers (not Apps) Forms 6i will work against an 11g database. However, only Apps R11 is supported, and patches are only created specifically for Apps. We are also running Forms 6i against an 11g database without (well, minor) problems.
In this case, you need to find a solution. You can try to put the stored procedure in a package. The package body, with the reference to the remote table, will be hidden from Forms this way.

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.

Any suggestion anyone?

Problem with Image IO jre on Oracle Form

I'm using PJC to run my Text Editor program from Oracle Form. The Editor has an Image drag & drop option and I have to upgrade the jre with Image I/O API for this functionality. To upgrade jre the tool 'jai_imageio_1_0_01-lib-windows-i586-jre' needs to be installed. When I upgrade jre with this tool and run my program independently from Oracle Form, it runs well but when I run this right there from Oracle Form it doesn't run and exception is thrown on javax.imageio and other packages that are part of that tool even though the Oracle Developer's jdk is upgraded with this tool. Could anyone help me resolve this problem?

Hi,
This is a JDeveloper help forum, the Formsforum can be found at Forms Now you might think that Forms developers don't understand Java well enough, they do however understand teh Forms context and this is important to answr the question.
a) Which Java version does your ben require?
b) Are you using JInitiator or JavaPlugin (Jinitiator only supports Java 1.3)
c) Is your PJC signed? Note that running an app stand alone as a Java app does not require special grants. Running it within a JavaApplet - as Forms is - does execute teh bean in a security sandbox, for which reasons the jar file must be signed and the public key be available in the Forms certdb.txt file (assuming Jinitiator)
d) An exception stack trace gives more information than "Oracle Form it doesn't run and exception is thrown on javax.imageio and other packages", which is meanlingless to me and others. Teh stack trace canbe copied from teh JInitiator console
I recommend resending this question to the Forms forum
