Using templates with task forms

Hello everybody!
In my project, I need to create a jsf page template, and aply it to task forms (there are about 50 human tasks, so I really need to reuse as much as possible). Is there any recommended way of doing this?
In a proof of concept, I tried to simple put the "af:pageTemplate" code snippet in the generated task form source, and then move some of the form generated code inside of the template facets where I needed it. Is this recommended approach? I'm still new to ADF, so I don't know if there are any negative implications in this approach :P
Thanks,
Luis

Using jfreechart with oracle forms 11g

Hi everybody,
I'm using jfreechart with oracle forms 11g to continue having graphs in my application since i'm migrating from forms 6i. I've already got it working and it's great. Just have one problem left. I don't know how to change the axis labels. In Bar charts, it comes with "Values" in y axis and "Category" in x axis by default. I wanted to change that or make it dissapear. Anyone knows how to?

I've never used the jFreeChart, but according to their website you can use the "setLabel" method to set the label for an axis. Check out Axis (JFreeChart Class Library) for more information.

Can we use WebUtil with Oracle Forms 6i

Can any one tell me if we can use WebUtil with Oracle Forms 6i..I have 11.5.9 instance of oracle apps and i want to use some features of WebUtil to customize one of seeded Oracle Form.
Any pointers in this regard are quiet welcome.
Thanks,

Strictly speaking no...however you could "backport" the webutil code and in theory you could get some of the functionality to work - this is not supported in the context of oracleForms although Oracle Applications may have their own specific solution/certification of this.

How to use LDAP with Oracle forms 10g on Oracle application server

Hi,
I need some help on this. I have developed oracle forms 10g on application server 9iAS. The client want to use the existing LDAP authentication to the software we wrote. I do not know how I could configure to use the existing LDAP authentication . If anyone know how would I use the existing LDAP on different server to use when they logon to our menu in 10g to validate the user. Do I need to add any varibales in formweb.cfg or any other method. Please help.
Thanks
Luksh

I am not quite sure if this works out of the box. According to an Oracle FAQ:
4.2 Can I use LDAP to authenticate Forms Services?
Not directly. However, Oracle Login Server is able to authenticate against a LDAP directory and thus a Forms application can take advantage of this in a SSO environment. But you cannot use access control information stored in a LDAP directory with Forms.

Using templates with css in mx

Hi,
I'm sure I'm being stupid but it's driving me insane - I'm
weaning myself off table based layout and using css (for the first
time) in mx. I'm (finally) happy with my stylesheet and how it's
all looking but can't seem to use css with a template - when I save
the page as a template and preview the style sheet does not seem to
be attached.
Any help MUCH appreciated,
Katy

Very definitely!
Good grief - your stylesheet is ... big. Usually so many
custom classes
mean that the stylesheet is WAY overengineered.....
I'll take a look though.

Using Javascript With Acrobat Forms

Hello,
I have been attempting to use Javascript with forms made using Acrobat X Pro. Particularly, I am attempting to use the Font palette with Text fields as described in http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tips/CalcScripts.pdf .
One example of this is the Strikethrough property. TextField1.caption.font.lineThrough = "linethrough" and TextField1.font.lineThrough = "linethrough". I see that "linethrough" is an enumeration (Having values of 0,1, and 2). But I have tried this numerous times, in various ways, and it does not work. I also tried other Font properties and could not get them to work. Is there more setup to this? I am still very much new to developing Forms, and it was frustrating for me to not find a resource that outlined all of the stuff you could do with Forms. My only prior experience with Javascript is for web pages. The pdf I mentioned above seemed promising, but I'm having trouble implementing it.
I appreciate any help for this!

Where to find and how to use JDAPI with oracle forms

Hi All
I want to use JDAPI for oracle forms, plz can any one suggest that where i can find the required jar for JDAPI, provide me if any links r there for downloading JDAPI.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Torsten Kleiber
I am interested in changing forms buttons in our existing forms .I was trying to find if it was possible.Going thru your post I realised it is possible to change properties in existing forms .
i have specific questions with JDAPI will i be able to change my buttons in a form to Iconic buttons.
Could you kindly send me the code of your class in the abovementioned post (I have created a simple class to modify some forms properties.)
I would like to have alook at it i am a Novice in java but looking at your source code may be able to give myself a head start .(I am well versed pl/sql forms and reports NO JAVA idea)
Two while trying out the oracle demo to create a form by jdapi I was able to create a class and was unable to execute it .What do i need to install to execute it. I have forms 10 installtion with Jinitiator 1.3 installed
DO i need to install Jdeveloper or JDK i think either of this is required. I shall be highly be obliged if u can clear my queries or any one else in the forum may wish to add to 2cents to my infinetly minimal knowledge of java

BPEL Need help with Task Form's bindings' Claim

Hi,
I have a customer requirement, they want something like, if there is only one member in a group, when he views the task form from webcenter or from the worklist, the task should be automatically claimed, so he doesn't have to claim the task, and then ongo with what the task-form offers.
I have seen that Claim method comes from the bindings to the taskDetails.jspx, the code is below which auto-claims the task:
DCBindingContainer binding = (DCBindingContainer)getBindings();
DCIteratorBinding iter = binding.findIteratorBinding("taskIterator");
OperationBinding bind = bindings.getOperationBinding("Claim");
bind.execute();
However, there are two problems with this approach.
1) The Task Form isn't getting updated with the buttons that comes after claiming the task(yes-no-approve-reject-whatever).
2) If the task is allready claimed, there is an exception.
The second one, I can manage to overcome somehow, but the first one, I am asking you damn it :)
Any help would be most appreciated!

Can someone please help?

Possible to use menuBar with task flow based ADF menus?

Hello -
I've just worked through the " [Create ADF Menus for Page Navigation|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/11/cuecards111/adf_set_43/ccset43_ALL.html] " tutorial. It shows how to create menus based on your task flows.
My question: is it possible to use the af:menuBar with these menu models (instead of navigationPanes or breadcrumbs) ?
I am using JDev 11g 11.1.1.1.0
Thanks.
Edited by: scott.turnquist on Nov 5, 2009 12:07 PM

Hi,
The XML menu model extends the Trinidad TreeModel, which extends Collection model. This allows you to access the hierarchical menu structure so that you can use af:iterator to build a structure to display in a af:menuBar

Using hostContainer with LiveCycle form

Hi all,
I want my air application to communicate with the pdf file that it is hosting.
With acroforms it is possible to use hostContainer method but in LC forms I didn't manage to use it.
Anybody has an idea?
Thanks, Rbuz

John,
You can easily render interactive pdf form in air application using htmlLoader :
What I'm looking for is how to communicate between air app. and my LC pdf form that it hosts, it is working with hostContainer method in case I'm using acroform but I don't know if it possible with LC PDF form.

Using DDE with Oracle Forms for uploading Excel data

Hi There,
I have used DDE in Forms to upload data from Excel.
The code which I have implemented is as follows:
DECLARE
iApplication pls_integer;
iConv pls_integer;
v2Buffer varchar2(100);
v2text varchar2(100);
nLength number;
nTransactionId number;
/* these varrays are defined in a package specification*/
vExcelProduct p_upload_functions.prd_no:=p_upload_functions.prd_no('1');
vExcelVpc p_upload_functions.vpc:=p_upload_functions.vpc('1');
BEGIN
/*Open an DDE Server application*/
iApplication:= DDE.App_Begin('C:/excel.exe ||v2fileName,DDE.App_Mode_Minimized);
iConv:=DDE.Initiate('EXCEL',v2filename);
BEGIN
/* first row of the sheet used for title . So loop is started from 2*/
/* Reading a row*/
FOR I IN 2..10000
LOOP
/* Reading columns of a particular row*/
     FOR J IN 1..n / * n be the number of columns in excel sheet */
     LOOP
/* generate the cell no of excel sheet from where data will
be fetched- R is used for row no and C is foe column no*/
     v2text:='R'||I||'C'||J||':'||'R'||I||'C'||J;
/* Store the value in variable */
dde.request(iConv,v2text,v2Buffer,dde.cf_text,1000);
/*Stores values in the varrays for a row*/
IF j=1 THEN
/* for first column*/
nLength:=length(v2Buffer);
vExcelOrg(I-1):=To_Number(substr(v2Buffer,1,nLength-2));
     /* for second column */
ELSIF j=2 THEN
nLength:=length(v2Buffer);
vExcelProduct(I-1):=substr(v2Buffer,1,nLength-2);
END IF;
END LOOP;
/*Exit the loop when it encounters an empty row*/
IF vExcelProduct(I-1) IS NULL AND vExcelOrg(I-1) IS NULL THEN
EXIT;
END IF;
/* Otherwise extending the varray*/
vExcelProduct.extend;
vExcelOrg.extend;
/* Reading the next row*/
END LOOP;
/* Now close the DDE application */
DDE.app_end(iApplication);
DDE.terminate(iConv);
EXCEPTION
     WHEN Others THEN
     DDE.app_end(iApplication);
DDE.terminate(iConv);
RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
END;
I am facing a problem, I will appreciate if you can give some insights to help.
We have been having problem logging in to application when there are a number of EXCEL processes running (17-18) on the server. Users that have already logged in have no problem, but new login will get "FRM-92101 There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup". The Forms Server itself is running fine. After we killed a few EXCEL processes, new users will be able to login.
Thanks and regards,
Mandeep

this is a trial method and right now i am trying to read only the first cell of the excel sheet and return that value and show it in the UI when the user presses the button but this code is not returning any value.
METHOD read_excel.
INCLUDE ole2incl.
DATA: filename(128) TYPE c,
            excel TYPE ole2_object,
            cell TYPE ole2_object,
            workbook TYPE ole2_object,
           pfile TYPE localfile VALUE
           'C:\Documents and Settings\I047323\Desktop\new.xls',
            name TYPE string.
CREATE OBJECT excel 'EXCEL.APPLICATION'.
SET PROPERTY OF excel 'VISIBLE' = 0.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'WORKBOOKS' = workbook.
CALL METHOD OF workbook 'OPEN'
    EXPORTING #1       = pfile.
    CALL METHOD OF excel 'CELLS' = cell
      EXPORTING
        #1      = 1
        #2      = 1
    GET PROPERTY OF cell 'VALUE' = value.
CALL METHOD OF workbook 'SAVE'.
CALL METHOD OF workbook 'CLOSE'.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'QUIT'.
FREE OBJECT excel.
ENDMETHOD.

Is it possible to use DVT with Oracle Forms 11g?

Hi,
I have posted my question on Oracle Forms forum but I didn't get answere regarding dvt usage in Oracle Forms.
Now I try it here.
Oracle Forms 11g and charts / graphs
====
one of our customers has a forms 6i applications including oracle graphics and is thinking about upgrade to forms 11g.
Oracle graphics has been desupported with 6i and with 9i Oracle BI beans has been recommended.
Forms 10g is the terminal version for Oracle BI beans too (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bbi-beans/overview/oraclebibeanssod2008-129560.pdf).
What's the recommended technology for graphs/charts in Forms 11g?
Is it ADF DVT?
If yes, are there examples how to call them from Forms 11g?
=====
regards
Peter

Hello Shay,
thank you very much for the link.
I wonder if there any plans from Oracle to provide and support a DVT wrapper in next versions of Oracle Forms 11g
As the customer project is planned for Q2/2011 we still have some time and hope for this :-)
regards
Peter

Anyone experienced the same issue??

Metalink search points to few bugs. May be opening a SR is a good idea.
