Problems with universality of forms

I have created a fillable form (Job application form) in Livecycle Es2.
They are fine, I can edit save etc.
When I email them to a colleague who uses Foxit, she cannot open. Does this mean that you have to use Adobe reader to view and edit a form created via Adobe?
I think it isn't a problem, because I have another version of the form (no idea in what way it is different, I have been trying so many things!) which she can open. Fantastic - BUT when she types in a field and moves to the next one, the previous field returns to a blank state.
Any advice appreciated as I have spent all day with this!
Thanks

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/Ahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A is the Standardized PDF. It is mostly Acrobat 5. There have been revisions to the standard.
If you look at the standard, it creates an archive and n0n-editable version of the form. But it also describes the minimum PDF structure. LiveCycle Designer/ES is not part of that standard. Also not all "PDF" viewers support this standard.
I would look at making a form that complies with the PDF/A standard and then add JavaScript supported by Acrobat 5 with changes to meet the revised security standard.
You will not only have problems with FireFox and other computer applications but tablets and eReaders present a whole set of new issues since many do not support JavaScirpt or other form features.
Apple Preview is known to corrupt form fields enough to make the sumbitted form data not visible unless the form fields are fixed or the data is exported from the from and imported into a good form.

Problem with universal installer

Hi
I have a problem with universal installer (version 2.1) as trying to intall IDS. Always it worked fine, but now, when I click on Next button of the home selector page (I fill right from/to fields), I get the message saying "problem to access the intermediate area; review if the values of destiny and origin are valid". In Spanish exactly is: "Se ha producido un problema al acceder a la zona intermedia. Asegúrese de que los valores especificados para \'Origen\' y \'Destino\' son válidos".
It stops the proccess and I can't continue. I review the log file and read the values and error message .
I deinstalled the ids pack, so may be it did some damage on my oracle installation. Also I try to start with another version I have on my computer (2.2), and it crashs just when I click on Next button of the welcome page. At the "hs_err_pidxx" of \archives of programs\oracle\oui, I can read the following:
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION occurred at PC=0x6d4873de
Function name=JVM_InitializeCompiler
Library=E:\Archivos de programa\Oracle\jre\1.3.1\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll
# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

# Please report this error at

# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.3.1_01 mixed mode)
I have W2000prof, 1G in RAM, and always oracle worked very fine here.
Well, can somebody help me? any suggestions will be welcome.
Gracias

Do your install files reside in a path with spaces in it? I've experienced some problems with the Universal Installer, if e.g. I have my files in
c:\install\Oracle Forms 9i\
but if I write
c:\install\Oracle_Forms_9i\
there's no problem.

My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget

My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget that I can not figure out how to correct.
I created a website for a client and inserted a Contact Form widget on their 'Contact Us' page. Whenever anyone uses the form, the e-mail my client receive shows my e-mail address as the sender. So, when they 'reply' to the e-mail, the reply is sent to me and not the person who sent the original message. This creates a major problem in that I get barraged with e-mail replies while my client's potential customers go without a response.
When I look at 'Site Manager > System E-Mails > Workflow Information > E-mail From Address' on the site's Admin Console, it shows my e-mail information. Is this is what needs to be changed? If it is, what needs to be placed in that field so that the e-mail my client receives shows the senders e-mail information in the 'From' field. My client wants to be able to click reply and have the message sent to the right party. They would be very upset if they have to cut and past the senders e-mail address from the body text on every contact they receive.
Their feeling is that if I can't find a way to make the contact form work the way it should, then it's useless to them.
Can anyone help me figure this out? I really don't want to disappoint my first client.

Are you on a plan that has the CRM feature that stores your customers' data? If so, the idea of the contact form is that you'll receive a notification that there's been an inquiry filled out on your contact form and there should be a link in that email notification that leads to the "Case" that was created when that customer filled out a contact form. You can click that link and visit the case for that customer in your BC site and reply to them from there so that all of the correspondence is logged in the CRM for safe-keeping and for your records.
If your client finds this is too much work to login to BC to reply every time, then you should check to see if you have the "Customer Service Ticketing" feature on your hosting plan. This is a feature where you create a dedicated email account (like [email protected]) and the BC system will automatically login to that email account and pull any emails in that inbox and convert them to a customer case for the sender of the email and then it will send out a notification via email to any of the BC Admin users you delegate as "Customer Service Agents". Since the CST integrates with the BC CRM it lets you reply directly within the email-- but when you reply it will be going to that same email address dedicated to the CST but once the CST service checks your email again and sees that you replied to this inquiry it will log your reply against the customer's case and sends your reply via email back to them so that all the correspondance gets logged on BC's CRM but you can still reply via email.
There's no way to use the default web forms to update the "From" or "Reply-To" address.. it must come from an approved email address to avoid spam issues. On most web services you cannot change the "from" address anyway but usually you can at least specify the "Reply-To" address so that when someone hits "reply" in their email client it will reply to whoever you setup as the "Reply-To" address.
Here's some more information about CST: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/customer-service-ticketing.html?bc-partner
I don't think the CST feature is in the webMarketing BC plan-- I think it's only in the webCommerce plan so if you have less than an webCommerce plan you have to tell your client to reply through BC by clicking the link in the notification they get. You can justify it by saying its one or two more steps but it keeps the entire convo on record in their CRM for easy referral later.

Problem with navagation of forms

Hi everybody
I have a problem with navigation of forms
I have two forms say a and b.In form a i have a button and i want, when i press that button the form b should open.I wrote when_button_pressed trigger for that button in form a as open_form('b'); Raise form_trigger_failure;
When i run form a and press the button form b is not opening.It is giving me a message as 'form b cannot be opened'
Can somebody tell me where i am wrong.I have compiled b.
TIA
Prajakta

Why are you using Raise form_trigger_failure;
You don't need it.
Try doing open_form('b.fmx');
If this doesnt work
I think your problem is that the fmx file for form b is not in the path to be found.
make sure to include the direcoty in the forms60_path or have it in the same directory as form a.

Problem with universal data cleanse

I have problem with universal data cleanse.
I am using DS 3.2.x (12.2.2).
I created:
Dictionary: TEST

Dictionary Entry:
Primary: BO
Classification: TEST_CL

Secondary information:

I wanted to replace word u201CBOu201D with the standard words u201CBusiness Objectu201D, but I have result: there is "BO" in the extra field,
there are "null" in others fields.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for all help!
P.S. I don't have cleansing packages installer.

There seem to be a couple of things going on here:
1. If you are using your custom dictionaries, then you have to map your input to MULTILINE1 and enable the custom parsers - just something to be aware of
2. You mentioned that you made some changes to the existing dictionary and you are not seeing any changes. To be clear, do you have different TEST and PRODUCTION environments? Or is it the same environment except that you have a local DS repository and for the dictionary you are pointing to another repository (using Dictionary --> Manage Connections)?
Having the dictionaries on a different repository should not make any difference as long as you point to them in your designer using the Dictionary --> Manage Connection option.
So I think there may be some issue with your job setup and/or dictionary values need to be looked at. You can start by adding another output field named "EXTRA" to see whether or not your data is getting parsed at all. Also, make sure the entry "CLEANME" is classified as FIRM_NAME_ALONE in the dictionary and that you are selecting the correct dictionary name in the Datacleanse Transform options.

Very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and

I have discovered a very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and java instruction "request.getParameterNames()".
Suppose you have something like this, to render some datas form a Java Beans :
<h:dataTable value="#{TablesDb2Bean.myDataDb2ListSelection}" var="current" border="2" width="50%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="text-align: center">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Name"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="nameTableDb2" value="#{current.db2_name_table}"/>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
Everything works fine...
Suppose you want to get the name/value pairs for id="nameTableDb2" and #{current.db2_name_table} to process them in a servlet. Here is the HTML generated :
<td><span <span class="attribute-name">id=<span class="attribute-value">"j_id_jsp_1715189495_22:0:nameTableDb2">my-table-db2-xxxxx</span></td>
You think you can use the java instructions :
Enumeration NamesParam = request.getParameterNames();
while (NomsParam.hasMoreElements()) {
String NameParam = (String) NamesParam.nextElement();
out.println("<h4>"++NameParam+ "+</h4>);
YOU ARE WRONG : request.getParameterNames() wants the syntax *name="nameTableDb2" but JSF must use id="nameTableDb2" for "<h:outputText"... So, you can't process datas in a FORM generated with JSF in a Servlet ! Perhaps I have made an error, but really, I wonder which ?

While I certainly appreciate ejb's helpful responses, this thread shows up a difference in perspective between how I read the forum and how others do. Author ejb is correct in advising you to stay inside JSF for form processing if form processing is what you want to do.
However, I detect another aspect to this post which reminds me of something Marc Andreesen once said when he was trying to get Netscape off the ground: "there's no such thing as bad HTML."
In this case, I interpret ungar's request as a new feature request. Can I phrase it like this?
"Wouldn't it be nice if I could render my nice form with JSF but, in certain cases, when I REALLY know what I'm doing" just post out to a separate servlet? I know that in this case I'll be missing out on all the nice validation, conversion, l10n, i18n, ajax, portlet and other features provided by JSF".
If this is the case, because it really misses the point of JSF, we don't allow it, but we do have an issue filed for it
https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=127
If you can't wait for it to be fixed, you could decorate the FormRenderer to fix what you want.
I have an example in my JSF book that shows how to do this decoration. http://bit.ly/edburnsjsf2

          error = true;

Even if there was an exception being thrown, you wouldn't see it because you're catching it but not doing anything with the message:
catch(SQLException e) {
          message = "Error " + e.toString();
     catch(Exception e) {
          message = "Error" + e.toString();
          error = true;
     }Try changing this part to:
catch(SQLException e) {
          message = "Error " + e.toString();
                e.printStackTrace();
     catch(Exception e) {
          message = "Error" + e.toString();
          error = true;
                e.printStackTrace();
     }

Problem with Master -Details forms in seperate pages

Hi ,
Below is the scenario:
I have Institution and a department tables where there is a foreign key relation between the tables. So now i have two entity objects for the 2 tables and 2 view objects(DepartmentView,InstitutionView) from the entity objects.
I also have a view link between them.I made a master-detail relation between them in the datamodel using the view link.So my appmodule now has getters for the department view,institution view and viewlink.
I now have a jsp page "createInstitution.jsp" which contains a form for the institution , i have a "next" button on the same jsp which calls a method in my appmodule class .This methods just inserts the record into the Institution view. In this method i am able to see what the user entered in the form by getting the viewrow record like the below code :
InstitutionViewRowImpl newInstitutionRow=(InstitutionViewRowImpl) getInstitutionView().first();
The next button navigates to the next page "listDepartments.jsp" which contains the list of departments that are added. This page has a button "Add Department" which takes to to the "addDepartment.jsp" page which shows a form for adding a department. This page also has a button which calls a method in app module class. The method just inserts the record into the view(DepartmentView)
Here when i say
DepartmentViewRowImpl newDepartmentRow=(DepartmentViewRowImpl ) getDepartmentView().first();
the newDepartmentRow is null.
Also on the addDepartment.jsp form , i had used a output field to see what the parent id was and interestingly the parent id is 75 which is first institution in the database. It should have been "-10" , a temporary id assigned.
Can someone please tell me what is the problem with my approach?

I don't understand why you are using a method on your button to insert the record into the table - An Oracle ADF Form will do the insert for you by default without any coding.
See the create pages in these tutorials:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/11/cuecards/adf_set_21/ccset21_ALL.html
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/11/dev_ui/developuserinterface.html#t2s5
The method that you are calling just returns the first record in the rowset - I don't see how it has anything to do with actually inserting the data into the table.

Problems with a public form, what to do

Hi there !
I am new to this forum, and new to Exchangeserver, allways worked wiht Lotus Notes so please bare with me if my questions is noob to you all, I have googled for my answer, but is still not sure what to do, so here I go.
I have an Exchange 2010, where some people uses a public calendar to order a meeting with meals, coffe and so on, or the use this particular calendar to order the cofee and meals for a meeting, which is planned in another calendar.
When the people acces this public calendar ( which is made in a public folder, is it allways that ? ) it automatically open a particular selfmade form, and this sometime crashes Outlook ( or I suspects this to be the problem )
The problem is not allways there, but suddenly appears ( i dont know when ) , but I have tried to make a new public calendar myself, and made a new particular form from my Outlook client and posted it on the server, and when the problem occour at the other
client PCs I restart the client and acces my new calendar with no problems, but the meeting calendar with the old form crashes Outlook.
The form is made in Exchange 2003 and migrated along with the server to Exchange 2010.
My conclusion is that I have to get the form into exchange2010 mode at first, but what is the best way ?
Is it possible to delete the form ? and how do I do that....I have made an copy of the form on my Outlookclient, and adjustet it a bit, so I guess this should be the first try to save it, and the publish it with the same name as the old one ?
Or can I just publish a new copy of the form, and the change the rules for the public calendar so its linked to the new form instead of the old form ?
It seems that the problem is when you change the date og picking the date in the calendar from the navigation bar, so at the moment if have told the users to acces the calendar, and use the date ( day-week-month ) at the top bar instead, this seems to Work.
Hope this makes a Little bit sence ;-)
Is there a way to check if everything is ok at the server when the problem occours ?
Kind regards and thanx in advance Thomas

Hi,
Did you try to open it via OWA when the problem occurs?
If open it normal via owa, it show everything is ok at the server.
Thanks.

Problem with Universal Dock

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if any of you guys have had problems with volume adjustment with video iPod when attached to the new dock and stereo. In most cases I have to crank the volume almost to end, but not the all way, because then the sound only comes out of the headphones. As I said, this happens in almost every song. On other the songs - I've found only few - I can't adjust the volume, which I find more pleasing. So I would like to know, is there any way to change those preferences on the iPod, or with some other method?
In case its needed, my iPods firmware is 1.0, which I wouldn't like uprage because of the backlight timer.
Thanks in advance!
PC Windows XP

Also have this very frustrating problem. Completely fine playing audio out through iPod touch 2nd Gen with 4.0 update connected to universal dock. Now after the iOS 4.0.2 update, no audio from speakers when I connect to universal dock (headphones and internal speaker work fine), the volume slider disappears when I connect the iPod to the dock and the TuneIn Radio app says "No Volume Available". Hardware volume buttons and apple remote have no effect.
Resetted settings, downgraded back to iOS 4.0.1, restored to factory nothing seems to work. Strangely enough, tried connecting a friend's 2nd Gen ipod touch which hasn't been updated to ios 4.0 (it has 3.1.3) and the same thing: volume slide goes away when connected to dock, and no audio out from speakers. Speakers are good, tested them separately.
Could it be that the ios 4.0.2 update screwed up the universal dock firmware?

Problems with Master-Detail Form not retrieving Detail Rows

Portal 3.0.7.6.2 on NT
I am having problems with a Master-Detail Form not retrieving Detail Rows. Sometimes it retrieves all, sometimes about 50%, the majority of the time it's not retrieving any. If it never retrieved any I would suspect that the 'join' condition was wrong but that isn't the case. I didn't have this problem with a prior MD Form I created. I have tried re-creating the MD Form but I get the same problem.
Is anyone having similar problems/is this a know bug??
Any help or thoughts are appreciated.

I experienced performance problems. The simpiest MD form takes about 10 secs. to requery. I's not answer to your question, but there is more problems with this concept.

Problems with contact email form

Hi there,
So I've been having lots of problems with getting an email form to work in my flash website.
The contact email form I've been attemping to get to work can be found here:
http://www.webdesignmo.com/blog/2008/08/14/flash-contact-form-in-actionscript-3/
When I start a new flash movie from scratch and follow the instructions on the site, everything works great. However, when I try to create this form within a movie symbol within my current flash site, nothing works at all. I've tried placing the submit button within the movie symbol and without and neither works. I guess my question is, why would this happen? In which circumstances would placing a form like this inside of a movie prevent the form from functioning? For instance, when I tes tthe movie, fill out the form and press the submit button, nothing happens.
Can I get some advice for whether I need to rethink implementing this form into a current flash video and what things I should check for?
Thanks so much!
Using CS3 btw.

you probably have path problems. use the trace() function to help debug your flash.
