Problems installing the new 'Look And Feel' done by Francios Degrelle

Question

I have download the new verison of the new 'Look And Feel' from
http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/forms-pjc-bean/LAF/sources/v133/LAF_133.zip
1- I defined a new section in formsweb.cfg named summit in the middle tier (AS 10g Rel2):
[Summit]
baseHTML=base.htm
baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm
baseHTMLjpi=basejpi.htm
baseHTMLie=baseie.htm
HTMLdelimiter=%
workingDirectory=e:\app\summit
envFile=default.env
IE=JInitiator
escapeparams=true
form=customers_laf
debug=no
otherparams=buffer_records=%buffer% debug_messages=%debug_messages% array=%array% obr=%obr% query_only=%query_only% quiet=%quiet% render=%render% record=%record% tracegroup=%tracegroup% log=%log% term=%term% useSDI=yes
buffer=no
debug_messages=no
array=no
obr=no
query_only=no
quiet=yes
render=no
pageTitle=Summit
serverURL=/forms/lservlet
codebase=/forms/java
imageBase=DocumentBase
width=100%
height=100%
separateFrame=false
splashScreen=no
lookAndFeel=oracle
colorScheme=blue
logo=no
restrictedURLparams=HTMLbodyAttrs,HTMLbeforeForm,pageTitle,HTMLafterForm,log,allow_debug,allowNewConnections
serverApp=default
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar
archive=frmall.jar,laf.jar
WebUtilArchive=
jpi_download_page=http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.4.2_09/index.html
jpi_classid=clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93
jpi_codebase=http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,0,0
2- then I put a copy of the file 'forms.css' in the middle tier in the folder :
apache\apache\htdocs
so as to be on the path and then modified PM$CSS_FILENAME in all forms to be 'forms.css' instead of 'c:\forms.css' and recompiled.
3-I put a copy of the file 'laf.jar' in the folder : 'd\Ora_AS\forms\java' in the middle tier and added this path to the classpath environment variable.
4- I restarted the middle tier and wrote this URL:
http://test/forms/frmservlet/config=summit
the customers form opened but with no background images,I added the following to the URL '&form=test_laf_color_scheme.fmx',the form opened with the default color scheme to 'purple',I changed it from a drop down list to orange and all buttons background color degraded to orange.
My questions:
1-where are the background images ?
2- I cannot compile the 'laf.pll' file to 'laf.plx',when I compile I get this error:
FRm-91507 -internal error
P.S. I read this thread :
FRM-91507 when compiling a library with Forms 6i
and I didn't understand it,where do I change the Forms_Path? in the forms Home release 1 or Forms home release 2?!!!
3-Is the 'forms.css' file properly located? if not? where do I put it?
Sorry for the long scenario but I'm really confused?
Thanks
Mohammad

Answer 1

Hello,
I'm curently out of everything so I cannot answer this one. All I can tell is that images are read from the client machine or jar file. If you want read images from the application server, you need the http:// syntax.
