Problem: Web.Show_Document with separate frame = True

We run our application in a seperate frame, so the applet is running outside our browser. When I change the URL in the browser-window the Forms Built-In Web.Show_Document does not work anymore (no browser window will be shown). Is it possible to solve this?

Maurice,
though Forms shows in a separate frame, the Applet instance is in the Browser window. If you change the URL in the Browser window then this is equivalent to closing the Applet session. The sepratate frame is a Java Frame that is called similar to
Frame f = new Frame();
f.show();
There is no way to change this except the suggestion to make the Browser Window small as possible do the user does not play with it.

Web.show_document() with javascript

Hi Guys,
I'v been searched this forum about web.show_document() with javascript.
I saw some threads said
I can do like
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:window.open("http://www.google.com","","fullscreen=no,titlebar=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,resizable=yes");self.close()','_blank');
and someone said it worked, but it doesn't work in my machine.
also some one said the javascript engine is not included in Form 10.1.2, so I can not use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT function like above.
My form builder is 10.1.2.0.2 (Production), os is xp sq2 ,ie 6.(ie6 has some tighter security)
I want to get clarification about this function, can i use the javascript on it or not ? I really want the pop up window without toolbar and customize size. I need do some configuration in formweb.cfg also?
Thanks in advance. I appreciated every response.

Hi Jan,
Thanks for your reply. I check the metalink about it.
The first solution is
1. Make forms Developer URL a trusted site in IE to allow script executions.
For that open Internet Explorer->Internet Option-> Security.
Select the "Trusted Sites" Option.
Click on the Sites Button.
Add the Developer Suite URL in that.
for example
http://<Yourmachinename>:8889/
It doesn't work in my machine ,still can not activate the javascript.
The second solution is
2. Place the script invocation code in a html file in Oracle_home/forms/server directory and call it.
For example :
Create a simple form.
In Forms Trigger :
web.show_document('http://<Yourmachinename>:8889/file.html');
In the file.html you may enter the code, for example:
<HTML>
<HEAD>Heading</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
window.open("http://www.yahoo.com","_self");
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
It also doesn't work in my machine, the problem is http://<Yourmachinename>:8889/file.html can not be found, even i put it under the Oracle_home/forms/server folder, but i click it directly ,the javascript works. that means the URL http://<Yourmachinename>:8889/file.html is incorrect or I should put the html file into other directory. And I also checked the default.env,FORMS_PATH=D:\DevSuiteHome\forms.
anything wrong with my env?
Do you have any idea about it?
Thanks,

WEB.show_document with MAILTO in IE8 - Navigation Cancelled message

When generating an email from within Oracle Forms 10g using:
WEB.show_document('mailto:'||'[email protected]'||'?subject='||'test msg'||'&body= 'test body','_SELF');
An IE8 window pops up with a message saying 'Navigation to the webpage was cancelled'.
The test email does appear separately, but if the email is generated a second time, the email will not be generated unless the window saying 'Navigation to the webpage was cancelled' was manually closed before the second email generation.
If we try the same test in our IE7 browser, the email pops up without an IE window coming up in the background (as expected).
We have tried changing the last parameter to _BLANK and also excluding it altogether, neither option works properly in IE8.
What code can I use to generate an email within IE8 & IE7 without the extra browser window appearing in the background?

Ok - so I've had a TAR logged with Oracle since before asking my colleague to post the same query on here.
As of a couple of days ago Oracle were able to reproduce the same issues using a simple test case. Yesterday they came back with the first part of a fix and updated "Note 1075355.1 - How To Use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT To Open Multiple Pages In The Same Browser" accordingly.
Basically if you are running IE8 on Windows XP and want to use the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT with mailto to launch an e-mail you need to specify a named window instead of the regular parameters which are: self, parent, top, blank
So you would need to use something as below where the word CUSTOM can be anything.
WEB.show_document('mailto:'||'[email protected]'||'?subject='||'test msg'||'&body=' ||'test body','CUSTOM');
However this does not appear to fix the issue for IE8 when running on Windows 7.
Below are other security settings that were recomended and we tried (but I don't think they had any effect):
1. In IE 8 go to menu Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Sites ->
- Add this website to the zone :
mailto
- Uncheck "Require server verifcation (https:) for all sites in this zone."
- Click Add
2. In IE 8 go to menu Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level
- Set 'Display mixed content' to Enable.
Anyway hopefully this information may be useful to anyone else experiencing the same issues - I'm kinda surprised that this hasn't come up and I am interested to hear how other people send email from Forms 10G or 11G applications?

Problem with web.show_document with Jinitiator and Firefox

Not sure Firefox 2.0 is officially certified with Forms 9.0.4.1 and Jinitiatorbut regardless we have some users who want to use this combination. Everything seems to work fine except for the calls to web.show_document which opens a new browser window and displays some html etc.
The problem is that even though the client Forms JVM is Jinitiator (1.3.1.18 or .21) when the call to web.show_document occurs somehow the Sun Java Plugin starts and having the two JVM's at once causes a fatal crash in Firefox. Can anyone suggest a way to preven the second JVM from opening?
When the user uses the Sun Plug as the client Forms JVM there is no problem as the second JVM does not open. Unfortunately some users insist on Jinitiator with Firefox hence the problem. -quinn

James,
This whole applet embedded in a browser model for webforms is driving us batty at times. The list of problems includes:
1) Users are constantly tempted by browser controls and accidentally do all sorts of things to get them in trouble. This has included but not limited to using the navigation arrows, jumping off to read their email in the same window as the form and returning to a dead forms session, minimizing, resizing, blurring off to another window and then returning back by clicking on the title bar of the browser and wondering why the form doesn't tab etc.
Sure hobbling the browser by opening with limited functionality is a possibility but not a complete solution.
2) New versions of browsers seem to break something. Both IE 7 and Firefox 2 have their own problems with web.show_document, especially file associations such as CSV and DBF and trying to open things in Excel in IE7.Firefox seems to have less problems for some yet some some oddities like the one that started this thread (and 2.0 opening new windows in tabs by default instead of windows).
3) JVM jigsaw puzzle. Is it Jinit or Sun, which versions? Which combinations of browser version and JVM works.
4) General fragility of the whole architecture. Running a client JVM in a web browser on top of a PC Operating system connectiong to a forms server over a network embedded in a Java Container server on a full blown web server running on a unix operating system is pushing the bubble. Throw in the mix that any of these components can be combined in numerous ways makes one wonder how it works as well as it does.
Still users randomly getting dropped connections to forms server (network gltches?). General sluggishness (poorly written forms?). Periods of users with unduplicatable errors primarily network related it would appear.
General feel that it is not rock solid stable. Perusing metalink documents on performance and tuning gives too much and too general info to troubleshoot so just shrug shoulders and say 'network problem'.
What's the solution? Java webstart would seem to help at least with the browser realted issues but is that supported and documented how to use yet. Also we'd lose web_show_document which is critical (could it be replaced by webutil calls to open browser?).

Secure Web.Show_Document with forms10.1.2.3 under vista Need authentication

Hi All
I installed forms 10.1.2.3 successfully under Windows Vista , i use Java Bean described in the OTN Forms document titled "Oracle Forms Services - Secure Web.Show_Document calls to Oracle Reports" ,but when the form calls the report, the following error message :

If I am remembering correctly, some changes were necessary in order to make this work with 10.1.2.3. So, if you are using the old jar which you used in previous versions, I would recommend obtaining the one specifically updated for 10.1.2.3. Refer back to the OTN page which has the download and choose the link that references the new version:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/techlisting10gR2.html
Be sure to clear the client Jar cache before re-testing. This is not the same as the browser cache.

Issue while generating report using web.show_document with https

Hi All,
I am facing some issue while seeing the report using web.show_document as shown below:
https://ucrmskr.apac.nsroot.net:10301/forms/html/001725032_gca.rtf_
In this case the report opens directly without asking for me to save or open or cancel option
whereas if I hit
http://scrmskr.apac.nsroot.net:7801/forms/html/001725032_gca.rtf_
it asks for save or open or cancel option
so that I can save the report to my machine and open in wordpad format
The report generated in the first case is not coming in proper format
Below are my forms.conf mappings:
# Name
# forms.conf - Forms component Apache directives configuration file.
# Purpose
# It should include the weblogic managed server (routing) directives for
# the servers where Forms applications are deployed and other miscellaneous
# Forms component OHS directives.
# Remarks
# This file is included with the OHS configuration under
# $OI/config/OHS/<OHS Node Name>/moduleconf sub-directory.
# virtual mapping for the /forms/html mapping.

any ideas?

Web.show_document() with .csv-Files

Hallo,
when I try to show a .csv-file using web.show_document in MS-Excel I'm facing the following problem:
Depending on the windows-settings (?) before showing the Excel-sheet the browser opens an alert 'open/save file'.
When this alert is activated the web.show-document() is not successfull, that means: it seems that the browser tries to open the new window but it immediatly 'crashes' (I'm using '_blank' as parameter).
When this alert is not activated everything works perfect.
My guess is that it has something to do with whith the javascript-problem under XP-SP2. (i also can't get javascript working together with web.show_document).
Enviroment is: Forms 10g, Windows XP SP2, MS-IE (Mozilla works fine), 10g iDS and iAS
any ideas?
tia
Frank

Hello,
already done, doesn't help.
The odd thing is: when I type the url web.show_document should show directely into the IE (with virtual pathname) the alert shows up, I can choose 'open' and it works (thats the way I get rid of the alert). It seems to me that showing the alert somehow causes the problem in combination with web.show_document.
I have a similar problem with javascipt. When I type it directly into the browser everything works fine, from web.show_document .. no way.
So my guess was that maybe the alert itself uses javascript. I dont know much about java and browsers and so its really only a guess.
The Alert I'm talking about is the following (modulo translation errors):
do you want to open or save the file
Name... / Type... /from....
open/save/cancel -Buttons
checkbox: always ask before opening a file of this type

Can I use web.show_document with forms name parameter ?

Hi All,
I need to pass URL to web.show_document but with form name too. Is it possible?
I'd like to do something like web.show_document('url?report=myReport','_blank')
Thanks in advance

Yes, you can use any valid URL within web.show_document

Web.show_document opening in the same window urgent

Hi,
I am using web.show_document to run all my reports from webforms 10g Release 2, it is working fine, and we have used a DLL to avoid the extra explorer window while opening the webforms it basically hide the extra window at client side, this is also working fine, now when the user opens multiple sessions and then he try to run a report the report output is coming and replacing all the other webforms opened (this is happening if i have multiple session opened) if there is only one session then everything is fine.
In my formsweb.cfg "separate frame=true" and then at the client side i am hiding the extra explorer window using webutil & window handle, am calling my report using web.show_document with target= "_blank" now if i open two session at client side i will have only two application window the extra explorer windows will be hidden, in this case if i try to fire a report the report works fine but it replacing the 2nd application window.
Hope i had explained the scenario. Could anyone help me out to solve this problem?
Thanks & Regards

Hii,

IE7 and web.show_document

We run a forms application using 9.0.4 on IAS10gR1, JInitiator is 1.3.1.13. We often use web.show_document to display files (usually pdfs, but also other types) that are stored as blobs in the db or as files on the app server. From time to time users complain that this feature doesn't work anymore. In most cases this is caused by a popup blocker, either IE, or they use Firefox, or have installed Google's or Yahoo's toolbar with their popup blockers enabled.
But now we are facing problems with users that have installed IE7. When they try to show a file which should be displayed using web.show_document, a new window flickers shortly and then disappears, even with the popup blocker disabled.
Anybody out there with the same experience and (hopefully) a solution/workaround?
And yes, I know that IE7 is not yet certified.
Thanks in advance.
Gerald

We had the same problem opening files through web.show_document with IE7. It has to do with the Download settings in your Internet or LocalIntranet zones under Tools > Internet Options > Security > Select the zone > Custom level > Downloads group > Automatic prompting for file downloads setting.
These prohibit IE7 to ask the user about downloading a file. That's why the new browser window closes right away. You could either change the settings for Internet and lower the security for all sites, or add your Forms server to Local intranet or even TrustedSites and set these up properly.

Web.show_document using javascript in Forms6i

Dear all,
I wnat to know in forms6i , is it workable calling web.show_document with javascript?
As I face a problem that calling a url by web.show_document, but the requirement should not display the menu bar ... how can I do?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Actually, there is a button to trigger the web.show_document.
I've tried this code, but it doesn't work. There is no any feedback and no error popup.
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:void(window.open("http://www.yahoo.com"))','_blank');
Hi JY,
what happens if you actually try this
Web.Show_Document(‘http://www.yahoo.com’, ‘_blank’);

Calling Reports from Forms (run_report_object and then Web.Show_document)

Hi all,
we are in the process to prepare a Forms-Migration from 6i to 10g and like probably most of the other Forms-Customers we also use Reports.
We have setup a test-scenario with Forms/Reports Standalone Installation. So we have some Forms running and we are now starting to test reports.
I have created a Test-Form to call run_report_object in the documented way. That means described in the white paper. set the parameters, then call the run_report_object BUILTIN and when the job is finished, I do a call to the Web.Show_Document BUILTIN with "getjobid". As destype I use "CACHE"
So far so good, that works like a charm.
But after seeing the output in the browser, I can use the URL as a template and only change the jobid and then I can see all other reports as well, whether the output is from me or not. Even worse if I change the URL to use the command "showjobs" I can see a nice list with all the output and can click and see all of them.
Is there a way to secure this in an easy way.
I have read the white papaer about securing the use of WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT with a cookie, but that sounds to me that it is meant if I want to run the report with that builtin which isn't the case I am willing to run the Report with "RUN_REPORT_OBJECT" which is secure enough to me, but the output of all jobs can be seen from anybody.
Because we use the Forms/Reports Standalone Installation (because of License-Costs, ...) Single-Sign_on is no option for us we only want a situation where we can do the same as before.
Run a report, see the output and nobody else can see it.
If anybody has an idea how to do it, that would be great.
Thanks,
Mark

thanks for the answers,
but I'm still thinking that there is no "easy" Migration-Solution for our request.
Running a report and after doing whatever needs to be done (read, print, ...) and don't care about additional security because nobody else can read it.
But that might be the price for the bunch of new features in the "Web"-World were you never know where your application runs and you have to secure a lot more stuff then before.
Anyway I think we proceed with a combination out of the adviced Metalink Note : 437246.1. We can set the expiration-parameter, we cannot set diagnostic=NO because we use Run_Report_Object but we can change httpd.conf and we reject all calls to showmap, showjopbs, etc.
I'm not sure whether we need the rewrite part, but we'll see.
Thanks,
Mark

How to show PDF with web.show_document in a separate browser frame (forms10g)?

I'd like to show PDF in a separate browser frame or in the same window, but at the same time with form screen. So, I'd like to have form in the left and showing pdf in the right. PDF is runing on web.show_document. I understand that this is imposible (btw: does anyone know when it's going to be posible?), but I'd like to figure out if someone have already made some kind of solution?
Thanks.

I'd like to show PDF in a separate browser frame or in the same window, but at the same time with form screen. So, I'd like to have form in the left and showing pdf in the right. PDF is runing on web.show_document. I understand that this is imposible (btw: does anyone know when it's going to be posible?), but I'd like to figure out if someone have already made some kind of solution?

Problem with web.show_document in calling report

Hi ,
I have started the reports server... Programs->run->"C:\oracle\product\DevSuite10g\BIN\rwserver.exe server".
The system started a report server called "f".
Pressing a button:
declare
begin
URL_VAR:='/reports/rwservlet?server='||rep_server_name_var||'&report=texnikos_user\mod3_hmerolog_kinisis_.RDF'||'&desformat='||desformat_var||'&destype='||destype_var||'&userid='||username_var||'/'||password_var||'@'||tns_var||'¶mform='||param_form_var;
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(URL_VAR,'_parent');
end;The system displays the error:
REP-52266: failed starting the Reports Server f.oracle.reports.RWException: IDL:oracle/reports/RWException:1.0.
As action Oracle points out about it:
Please make sure the server is not already started as a stand alone server.
But there is not.... The server f has started successfully....
Do you have any idea why is that...???
NOTE: I use Oracle Dev10g. I also noticed that in the window which shows the status of the report server... in the last line as "active threads"(i don't know if i translated into english right ... the status is displayed in greek) that there are 2. Is this problem...???
Thanks, alot
Simon

Eventually , the report run... when the active thread got the value 1. How is it done...(i mean the value of 1 , instead of 2 when the report started...????) How to secure that the active thread would be 1 if this is the problem...????
However , because the report is 2 page accross.... the report displays the first page and down the other page.... Is it possible to display both pages accross as i see them in report builder env....?????
Thanks , a lot

[Solved] Problem with Web.show_document

Hi all,
In the custom.pll I use a Web.show_document() to get a file from the server.
The URL is for example "http://10.0.0.20/test/159083.apn"
I tested this and the browser (IE) is opening this file as a text file.
Now I want that the .apn file must be opened with a specific program. So I added .apn to the registry.
I typed manually http://10.0.0.20/test/159083.apn in the browser and the program I prefer is starting up now.
But if the custom.pll executes the Web.show_document() now in a split second I see a flash of a screen and that screen is closed again. I don't know what screen but I think it is the browser.
After that nothing happens anymore.
Does someone here has any idea of what is going wrong

Solved it.
It's a browser security issue.
In the custom security settings "Automatic prompting for file downloads" must be enabled.
If this is disabled you normal get the yellow warning bar. But with Web.show_document() the browser opens and closes very fast.

Problem: Web.Show_Document with separate frame = True
