Step-by-Step guide on integrating Forms and ADF Faces

14 May 2007 at 16:30 CEST | In Forms, Oracle, Web components |

I just uploaded the detailed step-by-step guide on setting up your own example of integrating Oracle Forms and ADF Faces. The document is 63 pages which might seem daunting at first. However, I’ve chosen to include as many screenshots as possible so most pages only contain two steps. So, once you get started you will notice you can progress through the pages quite rapidly.

I hope this guide is yet another document to let people understand how you can integrate Oracle Forms and ADF Faces. I’ve already published a PowerPoint presentation and the ODTUG paper. The presentation and paper are still a little bit high level and leave out some of the (important) details. Going through the step-by-step guide should explain all necessary steps and tricks.

It’s quite some work to create such a guide with all the screenshots. Just after finishing it, I already noticed things I should have done differently. Nonetheless, I decided to release this first version to the public. Otherwise I would keep revising it for the next few weeks. I just decided to release the current version and will probably update it with new insights as we go along. Currently, the document already contains a list of things that should be included in a next version.

There is a separate page with more information on the concept of integrating Oracle Forms and Oracle ADF Faces (or any other web technology)

  3. Hi Wilfred,

    Thank you for this step-by-step.
    One first aproach to avoid write usr/pwd in params applet could be a javascript function returning usr and another one returning pwd, next edit the land form, add ON-LOGON trigger and execute javascript functions using CommunicatorBean and use the results in order to call LOGON Built-in.

    The trigger may look like this:
    declare
    vConnUsr Varchar2(100);
    vConnPwd Varchar2(100);
    begin
    set_custom_property(’BLK_PJC.PJC’, 1, ‘EvalExpression’, ‘GetUsr()’);
    vConnUsr := get_custom_property(’BLK_PJC.PJC’, 1, ‘EvalResult’);
    set_custom_property(’BLK_PJC.PJC’, 1, ‘EvalExpression’, ‘GetPwd()’);
    vConnPwd := get_custom_property(’BLK_PJC.PJC’, 1, ‘EvalResult’);
    LOGON(vConnUsr, vConnPwd);
    end;

    This is my first aproach and I’m investigating how to do it in a MainEngine.java.

  4. Hi Wilfred,

    I followed your Oracle Forms as Web Component Step-by-Step How-To Guide. But I don’t integrate in a ADF Faces page, but in a quite simple webpage with an IFrame.
    This works fine, except for one thing, the first time the land.fmx is started it doesn’t do a call_form. In other words the WCIE trigger doesn’t fire.

    A possible cause is that raiseEvent(”WHEN-APPLET-ACTIVATED”, “”) does fire but when it’s fired the java bean in my form isn’t active yet. I tried to fix this problem with a call_form in the WNFI trigger. But then the startup is correct, but the next refresh doesn’t work.

    Did you experience this behaviour?
    And, do you know a solution?

    Kind regards
    Bas

  6. Hi
    I’ve just found your study and papers about embedding forms applications in HTML (generally WEB technology).
    Actually I’ve a case for that, but my prospect is using 6i version of oracle forms.
    Above has been also referred as not supported in with suggestion to consult you (OraFormsFaces Whitepaper, release 2.3.2).
    I’d appreciate having your feedback on feasibility study for Forms 6i and OraFormsFaces, and information about estimated efforts, risk, limitations (just in case of required migration from 6i to any of 9 or 10).

    Thank you!

    Regards,
    S.
