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:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms
and also here:

  • Deploying a J2EE web application in Oracle 10g

    Hi friends,
    <br>
    I had worked with Oracle9i 9.0.3 . But it's my first experience with Oracle 10g . I have installed Oracle 10g Infrastructure , Metadata Repository and one Middle tier - Forms and i hope i have followed The Oracle 10g installation guide Properly. Anyway installation is successful.
    The problem is a J2EE web application which is deployed properly on Oracle9i 9.0.3 doesn't get deployed in Oracle 10g. The following is the exception :
    <br>
    Deployment failed: Nested exception
    Root Cause: deploy failed!: ; nested exception is:
    oracle.oc4j.admin.internal.DeployerException: Error initializing ejb-module; Exception Error in application Spom_Apps: Error loading package at file:/C:/Oracle/Ora9iASForms/j2ee/home/applications/Spom_Apps/JmsSubscriberMdb.jar, Error deploying file:/C:/Oracle/Ora9iASForms/j2ee/home/applications/Spom_Apps/JmsSubscriberMdb.jar homes: No location set for Topic resource MessageDrivenBean JmsReceiverMdb
    <br>
    <br>
    where JmsReceiverMdb is the deployment file containing the message driven beans.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    Thanks for responding . I am sending the file contents of ejb-jar.xml, orion-ejb-jar.xml, jms.xml.
    Could you also check whether dtds versions of 10g and 9i in these xmls are conflicting? If you can specify your email-id i can send these file as attachments.
    Hope you could strike the right spot.

    Pang,
    guess that you want to start client side programs from Forms on the Web. There is a sample on OTN (host bean) that allow you to acces sthe client and start executables.

  • Oracle Functional Testing for Web Applications for Oracle Apps

    I am trying to test Oracle Application 11i and R12 using Oracle Functional Testing for Web Applications.
    In 11i:
    If i open any forms then then the Application is getting crashed whereas it's recording the html events.
    In R12:
    If i open any forms then the Form is getting opened but it's not recording the events happening on the forms
    whereas it's recording the html events.
    Please let me know whether Oracle Functional Testing for Web Applications supports can be used to test Oracle Apps 11i/R12 including the Forms.
    Regards,
    Arun

    Hi,
    AFAIK, there is no official document which states that "Oracle Functional Testing for Web Applications" is certified with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i/R12. I assume it should work with Forms 10g but not with Forms 6i, so it should work (does not mean it is certified) with R12.
    I would suggest you log a SR and confirm this with Oracle Support.

  • How a J2EE web application access CR reports stored on the CR Server XI?

    Hi,
    I'll be working on some crystal report templates that will eventually be hosted/publish on the CR Server XI.
    My questions are:
    1. How my J2EE web application access those reports?
    2. Do my web application uses some CR API for the connectivity and integration?
    3. What will happen to the database connectivity of the report template? since the report are created locally.
    4. Can the report template be edited/updated on the server?
    5. How the CR XI login functionality be involve in the integration (web application ---> CR Server XI)?
    6. Is the J2EE web application be deployed on similar web/application server where the CR Server XI resides?
    7. What is the role of RAS, Universe, Business View Manager to this whole CR integration?
    I hope you can provide some guidance on this journey to Crystal Report world

    1) Your application connects via the Java SDK using the appropriate JAR files.
    2) It can.  You can set the database information at runtime or use the already populated information from Enterprise.
    3) Same as 2.   Typically when you save the report to Enterprise you set up the database information there so that it runs against the database you want without prompting.  You can change this via code to hit whatever equivalent database you want.
    4) Yes.  You would have to use RAS and the RCAPI to accomplish this via code.  You can also make changes in the designer and overwrite the existing report template.
    5) You will log in via code. The information on how to do so is in the SDK documentation, which I will link.
    6) It can be deployed to the same machine as CR Server, though we recommend against that.  Typically you will want to deploy it to a seperate web server and allow it to connect to the CR Server across the network.
    7) RAS can be used to run reports, as well as the page server.  The universe and business view manager are not directly used in code.  If a report runs against a universe or business view then it will use them for data, but you wouldnt do anything with them directly.
    [BOE Developer Library|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm]
    You will find the Java SDK information under the BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK section.

    How about something like:
    Get-SPWebApplication http://yourWebAppUrl |
    Get-SPSite -Limit All |
    Get-SPWeb -Limit All |
    Select -ExpandProperty Lists |
    Where { $_.GetType().Name -eq "SPDocumentLibrary" -AND -NOT $_.Hidden } |
    Select -ExpandProperty Items |
    Where { $_.Name -LIKE "*.xsn" }
    Select {$_.Web.Url}, Url
    The above will list all of the files. Do you need counts by library, by site or other?

  • Consume Portal Service from J2EE web application

    hi, i am a newbie to portal content development. My team have developed a J2EE web application to be run on the portal. Is it possible to consume a Portal Service from J2EE web application? If possible, deeply appreciate if you could provide some guidelines. Kindly advise. Thanks.

    Hi Theodore Yu,
    You need to expose your portal service as a webservice to consume it in a j2ee web application.
    For exposing a portal service to webservice check this link

  • How to access deployed J2EE Web application ?

    Hi,
    I am new to J2EE Web Application. I have created a Web Module project and in that I have created a servlet. I did a build for WAR file. I have created an Enterprise Application Project and included this WAR file. I built  the EAP and deployed it to J2EE engine. I am successful till here.
    I am not sure how to access this deployed application and thus this servlet.
    I tried to access the following way :
    http://<hostname>:<portnumber>/<EAPName>/<ServletName>
    However, I receive the error no such location.
    In the web.xml file, in the servlet-mapping section, I have mentioned the servletname and urlpattern.
    I have mentioned the urlpattern as MyServlet and not /MyServlet. Notice the 'backslash'.
    Could this be an issue ?

    Hi ,
    You can create a single dynamic distribution group with the condition to have only the mailboxes in exchange as its members . Then when a person send an email to that  Dynamic distribution group it will get distributed to all the mailboxes
    in exchange.
    Note : Most important feature in the dynamic group is that the membership of that group will be maintained automatically and also along with that we can have group membership by defining the recipient types/OU /rules.
    I agree with ED and also based on my knowledge you cannot achieve your scenario without Distribution groups or dynamic distribution groups.

    Regards,

    Roopa, it looks like there is no problem with the deployment of your application in exploded format. Have you accessed http://server-ipaddress:7778/test_app/pages/welcome.jsp? Any problem access http://server-ipaddress:7778/j2ee/, the default home page of the default-web-app ?
    When you say the url http://server-ipaddress:7778/test_app is not working, what is the error message if any on the browser, on server console, in the server.log and http-web-access.log of ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/log/, ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/application-deployments/test_app/application.log?

    Hi!
    On your develop machine open the formsweb.cfg in %developer_home%\forms\server
    with the text editor of your choice.
    Scroll to the end of the file and create a new config entry:
    This is for use with Jinitiator without webutil:
    [your_config_name]
    form=your_form_name.fmx
    WorkingDirectory=x:\your_fmx_path
    lookAndFeel=oracle
    # leave userid empty to force manual login
    userid=user/password@database
    baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm
    archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jarTo call your application from the other client machine use
    *{noformat}http://developer_machine:port/forms/frmservlet?config=your_config_name{noformat}*
