Run web deployed Forms through Linux clients?

I thought migrating from Forms6i to Forms10g
would make it possible that users can use
Webforms on Linux Clients in https-mode.
Am i wrong?

Hi,
you are right in saying "would make possible". The Linux certification is ongoing and we expect something for within a Patchset of Forms10g. HTTPS then should not be the problem.

Drag and Drop with web deployed Forms.

If you are interested in drag and drop features of web deployed Forms you may want to check out this:

Hi ,
I think this is similar to a .pll library in Forms 6i which was called drag_drop.pll-something like that.......Isn't it...?????
However , it seems very attractive and helpful to our clients.....
Thanks and congratulations,

Launching Browser Window from Web Deployed Forms App.

Has anyone launched a new browser instance on the client within a web deployed forms application? We have browser based help within our application. In the client/server version, we used the built-in HOST command to launch the browser when the help button is clicked. However, this does not work in a web deployed situation. First, because we are deploying the application on a Solaris box, and it does not recognize the host command, and second even if we could it would launch the browser on the server. Can I do something with java or javascript?

Why don't you use the web.show_document(url, '_blank') built-in?

New form opens up in back of Menu Form in Web Deployed Form

Hi,
I am having trouble with my web-deployed form. I have one form that has toolbars and after selecting from the menu for another form to open up, the new form opens up in back of the previous form and I'd have to minimize the previous form in order for new form to be active. Is there any way that I can have the new form open up above the previous form? Also, do you know any good sites where I can get tips on web-deployed forms.
Thanks,
Kristine

Kristine,
what code are you using to open new forms (call_form, open_form, new_form).
I have a similar application (custom login module and custom menu), and I run my modules from the menu using
call_form(<module_name>,HIDE,DO_REPLACE);
This hides the custom login module and displays the called module.
Hope this helps

Icons files will not displaying when running web-based forms locally

My icon files (jpgs) are not displaying from within Forms Developer 10g or when I run the web-based forms from within Developer. I have tried the following without success:
6.4 Deploy Icons for Forms Running on Web
Option One: For Running Web Based Forms from Within the Forms Builder in Oracle 10g Developer Suite
1) Copy all the icon image files (*.jpg) to the directory of <Oracle_10g_Developer_Suite_Installation_Root_Dir>\forms\j2ee\formsapp\formsweb\icons
2) Make sure to set imageBase=DocumentBase in the file < Oracle_10g_Developer_Suite_Installation_Root_Dir >\forms\server\formsweb.cfg.
3) Edit the < Oracle_10g_Developer_Suite_Installation_Root_Dir >\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry\Registry.dat file, specify the icon image file extension by modifying the following line:
default.icons.iconepath=icons/
default.icons.iconextension=jpg
Save this Registry.dat file.
4) Restart the OC4J Instance.
5) Launch the form from Forms Builder.
I just got a new laptop and am setting everything up again. I have everything setup the same way as on my old machine (same as above). It worked fine on my old computer but not on the new one.

hi
try to create jar file for u r all jpgs but also u have to check the size of u r images
and if possible try to resave the same images by using Acdsee or use any other image viewer softwares.
hope this helps u...

Do web deployed forms support insert/replace modes

Hi:
We are currently using Oracle Forms 10g. In older versions of forms the Insert key could be used to toggle between Insert and Replace modes when entering data in a field. Is this functionality supported in Web deployed forms?
Thomas

Apparently not. See
INSERT key does not toggle INSERT/REPLACE mode

try {
ip = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println("Current IP address : " + ip.getHostAddress());
NetworkInterface network = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(ip);
byte[] mac = network.getHardwareAddress();
System.out.print("Current MAC address : ");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < mac.length; i++) {
sb.append(String.format("%02X%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));

File exists on client? from web deployed forms

Any ideas on the quickest and sleekest way to identify whether or not a file at a known location actually exists on client?
My first thought is to deconstruct some part of the fileupload java stuff.
Any other ideas?

In case anyone ever needs to do this -
I added a method to getclientinfo.java - very simple - here it is
public String getXyz()
File xyz = new File("C:\\xyz.txt");
          if (xyz.exists()) {
               return "YES";}
          else          {
               return "NO";
}

I have signed all jar files in \forms\java and \Oramw11gdev\asdev1\jlib and confirmed that they are correctly referenced in registry and default.env. I also verified all jars. Still error is there.
Haven't seen this problem with forms 10g.
Any suggestions?
Env: Win7/32bit, Oracle Forms 11g, Java 1.6, Forms Builder v.11.1.1.3.0; Java Plug-in 1.6.0_18
Using JRE version 1.6.0_18-b07

I got the same problem before with clients not on the same domain of the forms server so I found out that the ports 7001 & 7002 were the problem; that requesting the full machine name is not successful using these ports (machine.localdomain.com) so what I did is to join those clients to the domain and if you don't want to join those machines to domain change the web logic deployment port to 8888 .... it worked for me .... I hope this helps you

Online Help in Web Deployed Forms App

In a Designer generated Forms app deployed across intranet via Forms Server, what options do I have for an online help system? Is Designer's ability to generate MS Help files useful outside client/server environment? Thanks in advance.

I'd also consider checking a test case with Oracle Support to confirm its the same issue as well.

Not able to connect VS Web Developer Express through instant client 10

I just spent 10 hours attempting to connect Web Developer Express 2010 to an Oracle 10g database. In the end the solution was beyond simple, but with the existing threads there is a lot of talking around the problem. I’m posting this in case it might help someone else.
Obtain the Oracle instant client software that will work for your database. You will only need the basic package.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-100365.html
Extract the contents to a temp location on your hard disk
Create a directory for the application – it could be anything, but here is what I used
C:\instantclient
Copy the extracted files into the directory you just created.
Right click on my computer and choose properties
Under advanced and environment variables you will need to add the directory you created above to the system variables PATH. You will need to create a new system variable called TNS_ADMIN and put the same c:\instantclient path in it.
Create the file tnsnames.ora under the c:\instantclient directory and put your customized entry in it. Below is an example.
tnsnams.ora file contents
<Alias for this tnsnames entry> =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <Your Oracle Server>)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = <Your database instance>)
It’s a good idea to restart your system after this installation.
In web developer express use the .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB.
Here is the key piece of information!!
Under server name you need to use the alias from the tnsnames.ora file entry. If you do not do this it will not pick up the SERVICE_NAME parm and will give you some goofy error like:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor
or
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

Case sensitivity in using OPEN_FORM, CALL_FORM on web deployed forms

Just A Quick Note,
Make sure the case of the form name when using CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM is the same as the case of the filename on the UNIX box.
We spent quite a bit of time trying to find out why our CALL_FORM and OPEN_FORM command were giving the following error:
FRM-40010 Cannot read form "XXXXXX"
It turns out that we were using all caps in the OPEN_FORM build-in, but the filename was in lower case.
