What/Where is 'web listener'? (Forms Developer Install)

I just installed Forms Developer, and after it was done it gave me a list of actions that needed to be done. All of the actions are similar to the one below (instruct me to use my web listener). What is a web listener, and how to I use it?
[ACTION] Please configure the following virtual path with your web listener: /forms60java for
physical directory V:\oracle\oradev\FORMS60\java.
thanks.

Sameers-
a Web listener is another name for a web server, which is the process that listens for and responds to requests end users make with their Web browsers. The Web listener is responsible for servicing requests from the clients - typically this is in the form of a request for a HTML page, or in some cases, it may be to request for an application, in which case, the HTML is generated dynamically by code running on the server machine.
The Web listener uses a protocol (a series of known commands used to convey instructions and information) called HTTP, (hypertext transport protocol) to communicate with the clients. The Web browsers used by the clients also use HTTP, so they can send and receive messages to the Web listener.
In the Oracle9iAS world, the web listener is the Oracle HTTP Server, powered by Apache. It provides a process that understands HTTP and can receive/respond to client requests. In the forms portion of 9iAS, the web listener is used to launch the Forms Web Applet, by providing a HTML page to the browser that contains information on how the browser should access the forms server machine.

What about future of Oracle Forms Developer?

I heard, in future entire Oracle Apps will be in Java and Jdeveloper tools without Oracle Forms. In that case Oracle Forms will not stand as a stand alone tool for development. Now a day even small companies also prefer ERP solution. So what will be the future who is fully working on Oracle Forms and Reports?

Thnaks... But still I couldn't see anyone saying
Forms is forever. In future it will be supported by
Oracle but not recomended by Oracle is it?Then again ... J2EE is not 'forever' either.
The moment anyone comes along with and interestng tool set and enough money to do some serious marketing, you will find a lot of people who will jump to it, simply because it resolves some of their problems. (But not all!)
I started working with Oracle Forms 2.3 and have heard an almost annual 'Forms is dead' since 1993. Fourteen years later, those who claim 'Forms is dead' are still looking for replacements of their favorite substitutes of Forms (such as PowerBuilder)
My recomnmendation around Forms - as with all technology - is simple: if it (Forms, J2EE, whatever) works for your purposes, use it. Your app will need revising inside 5 years, and you can re-evaluate the technoloy at that time.

Jdeveloper and forms developer

hi folks
what is the difference between forms developer and jdeveloper
if the both of them can deal with java and can deal with pl\sql ?
regards

Java language defines the syntax (reserved words, keywords, operators, declarations, object instantiations, method invocations, etc.) + some packages of built-in basic classes (e.g. classes from packages java.jang, java.io, java.util, java.math, etc.). As Shay recommended, the free on-line book "Thinking in Java" is a very good starting point for learning Java language.
Java Standard Edition refers to the Java language + a large foundation of built-in classes and utilities called Java SE SDK. It includes classes for IO, networking, creation of desktop GUI (Java Swing), XML parsing, security and many many more. Java SE technology may be used for implementing standalone applications (for example, client-server applications that do not require middle-tier application server).
Java Enterprise Edition refers to Java Standard Edition + another foundation of built-in classes called Java EE SDK. Java EE is both a concept and a specification for development of complex applications utilizing middle-tier application servers (e.g. Web applications, Web services, distributed components, distributed transactions, etc.).
I am sure that my explanation of the difference between Java language, Java SE and Java EE is neither academic nor precise one, but I hope you will be able to undestand the general difference.

Forms developer and jdeveloper

hi folks

You're looking at this from too high an altitude. After all, everything running on say a pc is just making machine language calls. It's the same machine language underneath the hood for everyone on that architecture. So from that perspective there can be no difference between any programming languages. But of course, that is not true from the developer nor the end user perspective.
There are many many angles on what makes one development environment good or bad and many competing perspectives. For example
flexibility. If the development environment extracts functionality into many separate pieces, it will be more flexible. A process can go from
a->b->g and bypass c,d,e,f so to speak. Whereas if a lot of functionality was glommed together one would be condemned to
a->b->c->d->e->f->g and getting it to perform outside that path might be extremely difficult or impossible. On the other hand,
if one really wanted the default path and that was sufficient for what one typically did, it would likely be a lot simpler to develop
that path in a tool that only did that path. With flexibility typically comes complexity. I think you're kinda looking at that with
say forms vs jdeveloper. If you need that mvvc or whatever it is model, the complexity of jdeveloper is the best choice but if you do not
want it and it just impedes you, then forms is your easiest and fastest environment for what I call DUIS :-) (data under form influences) aka (delete update insert select)

Forms Developer vs Forms Server

Hello All,
What is diffence between Oracle Forms Developer and Oracle Forms Server?
when should we use Oracle Forms Server?
Regards,
DN

Hi there,
In brief and without getting too technical...
Oracle Forms Developer is the tool that you use to build the source Form files (FMB) and you need to compile the FMB files into FMX files before it can be executed. The current version of Forms Builder is 10g. The software is part of a suite of software products commonly known as 9ids/10ids.
Oracle Forms Server is the middle tier software that executes the FMX files. This software is old technology (refers to verion 6/6i). The current middle tier software is called 9ias/10ias of which Forms Services is one of the modules.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
John

Forms configuration: web listener

Hello,
I installed Forms (patch 11, typical install, all default parameters) some time ago, and it asked me to configure the web listener, something like :
[ACTION] Please configure the following virtual path with your web listener: /dev60temp for
physical directory C:\orant\tools\web60\temp.
There were many like this.
Since I use only client-server, I didn't do anything, and it worked fine.
Now I'm on Forms Patch 13, and I still don't know what it is exactly, and how it can be done.
Thanks for your help.

All the information on how to configure Forms for the Web is in the docs. Visit the Oracle Forms Upgrade Center at http://otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade for the Oracle9i Forms configuration guide.
And if you are looking for 6i information look at the 6i documentation from the documentation link on OTN.
The steps in the messages refer to configuring the webdb listner that comes with 6i. You do them in the webdb cfg files.

Forms developer 6i does'nt install on win xp professional

i need help to install forms developer on my system running xp and oracle 8i, i can't seem to be able to install forms the installation fails immediately without bringing up the initial setup screen, i've stopped all services that have to do with oracle but it does'nt seem to work

Hi Dahiru,
Try this (worked for me! in XP)
1 - Copy the content of your Oracle CD into hard disk in your
machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into D:\Oracle\ ...
2 - Search the file Symcjit.dll on the D drive (where you have
copied Oracle8i. You can found it in:
- For Oracle8i 1.7:
D:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
- For Oracle8i 1.6:
D:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.24\1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll
4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from D:\Oracle\setup.exe

Installing Oracle Forms Developer 9i

1) I downloaded the trial version (free 30 days) of Oracle Forms Developer 9i and burned the application onto 2 separate disks at my college computer lab. The files were downloaded from the Oracle website as ZIP files.
2) Next, I made a directory (folder) on my desktop entitled:
C:\Documents and Settings\Julie
Harris\Desktop\OracleFormsDev into which I copied the 2 zip files.
3) Finally, I clicked on the first zipped Oracle file and had it extract into a directory that I specified called c:programFiles\OracleFormsDeveloper\
4) The problem is that now I have several (almost 100) files that were extracted from the 2 zip files and don't know which one to click on to install the program in the program files directory on my PC.
During the unzipping process with Winzip, I got a Winzip error that says: " I/O error. Unable to read from zip file." during the time that Winzip was attempting to extract the oembase.jar portion of the Oracle Program.
The Disk 1 files are extracted and I am currently extracting the disk 2 files; however, I don't know what file to click on to install the program once everything is unzipped. I don't see a setup.exe file; however I did notice autorun.exe on the 1st of the 2 CDs. Should I click on autorun.exe to install Oracle Forms Developer?
If I need to learn some other necessary steps to properly install this program, please let me know. I need to use the program do complete my class project.
Thank you to anyone who can help.

Julie,
if you are saying that one of the zip file was corrupted, chances are that you don't have all the files copied. The Developer Suite can be downloaded from OTN.

How to install certifcate to tmg when create web listener

how to install certifcate to tmg when create web listener

Short comment that may help, if you've added the cert while the TMG MMC is open you need to refresh the MMC on the node second to the top (right-click on server/array name and select refresh) or simply restart the MMC.
Then create the web listener as desired.
As always you need a cert with the EKU of server authentication (regular web server cert will do) with the corresponding private key and the cert needs to be trusted on the computer where TMG is installed.

To roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the installer from here, uninstall iTunes. Probably best to also remove other suppporting software, e.g. Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support & Bonjour. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

How to install downloaded Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release 2 for linux

Hi folks,
I downloaded d2k6irelease2.tar (Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release
2 for linux) from
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/htdocs/linuxsoft.html
I untar the file on my linux machine however the extracted files don't
seem to contain any installing program. I didn't find products.jar in the
files and there are no script to install the software. I read the attached
doc, however it only assumes that the installation is from CD-ROM. The doc
doesn't help anything for this downloaded software. I wonder if anyone
here know how to install it. Thank you so much.
Best regards,
Kai Huang

There should be a text based installer in the /orainst sub-
directory
In that directory, just run the script:
./orainst
The installer seems to require libXm.a, which wasn't included in
my RH 7.1 installation, so I had to install the motif-
development libraries before the full install would complete
successfully.

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Once the user has entered the URL they want to add to the form. You can use the loadXML function to implement some special text in a label...
var linkValue = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><exData contentType=\"text/html\" xmlns=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.8/\"><body xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\" xfa:APIVersion=\"Acroform:2.7.0.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.1\"><p style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in\">The new link the user have entered is:<a href=\"" + textfield.rawValue + "\">textfield.rawValue</a></p></body></exData>";
this.resolveNode("lblURL").value.exData.loadXML(linkValue, 1, 1);

Where to buy the study guide for Oracle Forms Developer 9i or 10g

Hi, I am learning Oracle Forms Developer Build Internet Application. I am comfortable with SQL and PL SQL. I need authenticate Oracle Study Guide for Forms Developer which will help me in learning basics to advance level but I cannot afford the classroom course, it is beyond my pocket capacity. So I would like to know if Oracle sell only the study guides. I inquired at Book Shops in my area but did not get any help.

I just went through Oracle Press and Sybex websites and it seems none of the books available suits my requirement. Not everyone can afford class room training unless it is fully or partially sponsored by their employers. And I don't understand what people learn in just 5 days.All the information you need to learn the products and pass the certification exams is available in the freely available Oracle documentation. Sure, it's nice to have the Oracle University training or exam prep books which is often specifically focused on the topics on the certification exam, rather than having to combine data from a few different manuals. But there the free Oracle documentation is pretty darned complete and you'll likely learn more from working through that documentation than you would from the Oracle University material just because you've got to do the work to put things together.
