WebUtil and 9i db

Hi,
What features of the 9i database are used by WebUtil? I am on 8i (8.1.7.4) and was wondering if it was absolutely necessary to be at 9i.
Thanks,
Mitch

Shay - Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, the file transfer feature is the exact one I want to use. Just out of curiosity, do you know what 9i-specific features it uses? (I'll probably need this info for justification to our DBAs to upgrade).
Thanks!

Webutil and SQLLDR

It used to be on the client server when we run a batch file with sqlldr from a form, a cmd window would open and we can actually see a count of the records, and if we want we could make it that the user would have to click a button to close the cmd window and return to the form.
Now with the web version and webutil, I was able to make the batch file work and the data is loaded into a table, however, when the cmd window opens, it stays blank and you cannot see what is happening.
Is there a way to get the same performance as the client server version?
Thanks
George

Hi,
You can read the output/log file using textio (implemented through webutil)
and give a message to the end user.
Alternatively use the webutil host to open a command window and pass batch file which will do the sql ldr ....

Webutil and Office 2010

Has anyone else experienced any issues with webutil and MS Office 2010? We save .xls files to .csv and upload via webutil (10g). We are getting an error that the file on the root directory cannot be found, although it does exist. We found that if we saved as Office 2003 and then as a .csv file, it sometimes works. We never had this problem before upgrading to Office 2010. I ran the form in debug and confirmed it is bombing out on the client_text_io open command.
thanks in advance

I think we figured out it was also a Windows7 issue more than Excel. The Windows7 doesn't have a temp directory any longer, but we were able to create another directory (with a more meaningful name) and read/write to it. The webutil works fine now. Seemed like it was maybe a root directory permissions problem.
thanks

WebUtil and ActiveX

What is the correlation between WebUtil and ActiveX?
The reason I ask is that we have successfully installed WebUtil on our 9iAS R2 apps server and the Webutil forms that were created all work perfectly on site.
However our WAN covers sites all over the UK and the majoiry of these sites have all ActiveX settings disabled for security reasons. When accessing from one of these sites the form correctly loads all the .dll and .jar files but the CLIENT_TEXT_IO procedure will not operate.

... one thing I forgot. Duncan Mills, who could answer this question a lot better than I can, is on vacation this week.

Webutil and XP

Hi,
We have a form in which we use the call web.show_document(l_url, '_blank'), where l_url is a location of an html file on a local pc. Then in a
seperate browser the html file is shown.This works fine for our application.
Now some users are migrated to XP as OS, instead if 2000.. For these users no webbrowser is started after the call to show_document. In the
javaconsole is also no error seen. It is just that nothing happens.
In IE and Firefox this problem occurs.
Is there an issue between webutil and XP? Or is this a different kind of problem?
Richard

Thx for quick reply..
We tried it.. But, problem keeps existing...
We also tried XP and IE6... again no browser appears ...

Webutil and Outlook - I get a WUO-714 and WUO-705 error

Hi,
I have installed webutil and it loads fine an all. However, I have a problem with a Microsoft Outlook integration. I am simply trying open an Outlook mail item, which is then filled out with some data. Pressing the Send button is up to the user.
Everything works until the line "mailitem2 := CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE_obj(MailItem,'Display');" is called. Here Forms reports back: "100501: non-Oracle exception" and the java console gives a WUO-714 and WUO-705. The problems seems to be the Display method. At that point, despite errors, I do have an open, visible mail item with the proper data filled in. (In this process I noticed that the final invoke_obj should happen after you write stuff into the To, Subject and Body of the mail, but that's besides the point.)
Any advice you can offer is welcome.
Sincerely,
Jesper Vad Kristensen

Regarding WebUtils and Jacob

Dear all
I am following BAIG's blog for configuring WebUtil and Jacob .
http://baigsorcl.blogspot.com/2010/01/open-file-dailog-box-example-using.html
Mr Baig told to download both WebUtil and Jacob . But in 10G already Webutil is there .
So again i nned to Download and replace it ?
Or only i have to download JACOB ?

No, you don't need to download it again. It will be available for IDS.
You need to download only when you are using iAS ..

Webutil and time to open a form from server (forms ver 10.1.2.0.2)

Hi,
we have an application which uses webutil in some forms and 50 users in a lan with microsoft I.E. browser xp (patch 2 or 3) .
All the users when run url of forms without webutil have the same time to open the applications, instead when the forms use webutil 5 users have to wait long time before to access to the application (after all works fine and fast)
For others users (45) the time is the same.
Besides we install in one of these problematic client the developer suite to try the local A.S. and we wonder that the forms with webutil open quickly in local pc.
Therefore we have 50 clients and :
-- 50 clients open quickly the forms without webutil in the lan .
-- 45 clients open quickly also the forms with webutil in the lan
-- 5 clients open very slowly the forms with webutil in the lan (after they work fine) and they open quickly the same forms with webutil in local AS (devsuite) . They use I.E. 7 and have patch 3 of xp
We tried to disable antivirus,microsoft firewall but nothing has changed .
What could be the problem ?
Gianpaolo

Webutil and CalenderPJC Problem

I have successfully integrated the Webutil CalendarPJC into my forms. It works fine on a single row block, but on a multi-row block the PJC has a strange reaction. I have a button on each line beside a date field. When you click on the button on a row the Java Calendar pops up but the form moves the current row to the next row on the form. Has anyone had this issue and can offer a suggestion how to correct this problem would be greatly appreciated? I tried moving the row back one row as the PJC comes up but that would not work!

I have a simple form with a multi-row block. The form displays 10 rows when displayed. One of the fields is a date field. I place the Java Bean Area right beside the date field. So on each row there is Button for the CalendarPJC. If the first row is highlighted and I press the Button on that row for the PJC the Java Bean displays the Java Date modal window and moves the current row to row 2. I am running forms 10.2.0.2 on windows and SUN JVM 1.5.0_16

Webutil and DDE problem

Hello,
We are running into a problem web-enabling a client-server Forms application. We are using WebUtil for HOST and OLE calls and sending files between client and app-server and it all works really marvelous. But we noticed that the DDE package is not available in WebUtil. Unfortunately for us, we are using DDE calls to interact with MS Word (for example merging template letters with address-data) and MS Excel (filling out template sheets with data).
Can you tell me if DDE will be available in future releases of WebUtil? And, if not, is it (generally) possible to rewrite the DDE-calls to OLE-calls using WebUtil's CLIENT_OLE functions? And what DDE-functionality maps to the corresponding OLE-functionality?
Or, if it's not possible to rewrite DDE to OLE, what are the alternatives? Removing the interaction between web-forms and MS Office is NOT an option ;-)
Thanks in advance,

Webutil and intermedia

Has anyone configured webutil to upload/download ordsys.ordimage datatypes instead of just straight blobs? Just wondering before I tackle it myself.
Jeremy.

To configure the webutil_db package to handle intermedia, I just changed the BLOB variables to ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE datatypes and then added <variable>.source.localdata to each instance they get called: DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(<variable>.source.localdata) and so on. To set height, width and some other properties of the image being loaded, I made calls to the getproperties() and setproperties() methods of the ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE datatype. If you've used intermedia before, then this'll be pretty straightforward.

Webutil and Forms 10g

Hi,
I'm currently converting a forms 6.0 application to forms 10g. My application has the file upload and download functionality. I researched the webutil 9i beta version, but my infrastructure team would not allow this to be installed in the 10g app server production environment because it's not supported.
I looked into the OC4J fileupload and filedownload javabean that comes with the oracle 10g iDS installation. Is webutil built on these javabeans?
What are other alternatives I could use that I don't know about? Please help.
Last question, when will webutil released to production? I desparately need this utility since I don't know too much about JavaBean coding and tie to forms.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi,
the problem is that Forms Developer tries to acces steh bean, which requires ojsputil.jar to be set in the Forms90_Builder_Classpath. However, even then it wont work because the oracle.jsp.webutil.fileaccess class doesn't implement the IView interface or extends teh VBean class. You could use it with the FBean package which works with Beans that don't implement the Forms interfaces. However, the oracle.jsp.webutil.fileaccess class seems to be a JSP class which doesn't work at all in Forms.
The best way to approach bean development for Forms is to read this whitepaper
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/forms_in_java_world.pdf
and then install the Forms 10g demos and look at the source code. We do our best to comment the demo source so that you know what the code does.

Hello,
I've been monitoring this forum for 3 days waiting for someone to report this issue.
I am having a similar issue with Forms, Patch 3 (10.1.2.3). It appears this patch has an issue finding paths to beans within Forms (Java Pathing to the .class). For me, webutil is working. But ALL of the other beans we have in our .fmbs are not working anymore, whereas they did work in 10.1.2.2.
Example #1: The CookieHandler bean (PJC). In the Forms 10g demo download, there is the CookieHandler.java. This compiles to CookieHandler.class. You can wrap this into a .jar, called cookie.jar. The internal path within this .jar to the class is oracle\forms\demos\beans, or oracle.forms.demos.beans. Within the .fmb, the Bean Area item is created, and the implementation class is set to 'oracle.forms.demos.beans.CookieHandler'. The cookie.jar file IS specified in the list of .jars in formsweb.cfg.
Result #1: When running the .fmb in the java console, you will get:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.forms.handler.IHandler.getApplet()Ljava/applet/Applet;
     at oracle.forms.demos.beans.CookieHandler.init(CookieHandler.java:161)
     at oracle.forms.handler.UICommon.instantiate(Unknown Source)
...........(and a list of java errors)....
It isn't finding the CookieHandler.class file. I don't know why? All of the pathing is correct, and IT WORKED IN FORMS 10.1.2.2.
Solution/Workaround #1: So....here is what it took to fix this issue:
I took package CookieHandler.java, commented out the very top line of code (package oracle.forms.demos.beans;). I then generated CookieHandler.class. I wrapped it up into cookie.jar. The pathing within the .jar file to the .class file does NOT have directories like it did before. Then in the .fmb, the Bean Area item is created, and the implementation class is set to 'CookieHandler' (not 'oracle.forms.demos.beans.CookieHandler', like before). This solves the issue.
I repeated the workaround/solution above for numerous beans we have in numerous forms. But there are a few beans which we don't have source code for. This makes it very difficult.
Can Oracle please look into the issue described above. I believe many people are going to hit this issue with Forms 10.1.2.3, if they are using Form Java Beans.
(we are using Windows XP Pro OS for everything)
Thanks in advance.
Matt
