PRE-REQUISITE FOR APPLICATION SERVER (Usually Webutil is not installed with ORACLE
10G Application Server)
1- Copy webutil folder from DEV_SUITE/Forms to APP_SERVER/Forms
2- Copy frmwebutil.jar, forms_ie.js, forms_base_ie.js file from DEV_SUITE/Forms/Java

To APP_SERVER/Forms/Java folder
3- Copy webutil.cfg, WebutilBase.htm, webutiljini.htm, webutiljpi.htm files from

DEV_SUITE/Forms/Server folder to APP_SERVER/Forms/Server
4- Copy webutil.olb,Webutil.pll,webutil.plx files from DEV_SUITE/Forms folder to

APP_SERVER/Forms
If you don’t find some of these files from DEV_SUITE installation directory or don’t have
DEV_SUITE installed these files can also be found under this document root directory
Webutil Configuration
How to get up and running with WebUtil included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a
win32 platform, I also tested it on Linux and it works well (after of course taking care of the
differences in PATH format)
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running
Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
1) Copy jacob.jar to DEV_SUITE\forms\java\

2) Copy jacob.dll to DEV_SUITE\forms\webutil\
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar

Open a DOS command prompt.
Add DEV_SUITE \jdk\bin to the PATH:
set PATH=DEV_SUITE \jdk\bin
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
DEV_SUITE\forms\webutil\sign_webutil DEV_SUITE\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
DEV_SUITE\forms\webutil\sign_webutil DEV_SUITE\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open DEV_SUITE\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:

CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY a
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
/
GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
/
CONNECT webutil/webutil@rcci
@DEV_SUITE \forms\create_webutil_db.sql
-- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
/
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:

grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify DEV_SUITE \forms\server\default.env, and append

DEV_SUITE\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar; DEV_SUITE\forms\java\jacob.jar;
to the CLASSPATH entry.
(If this entry not exists then add this)
WEBUTIL_CONFIG=/forms/server/webutil.cfg
6) Modify DEV_SUITE \forms\j2ee\orion-web.xml, and append
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/webutil"
real-path="DEV_SUITE/forms/webutil" />
7) WebUtil needs a single virtual directory to be defined in order to operate. This virtual
directory is used to locate various operating system-specific files that WebUtil may need to
download.
DEV_SUITE/forms/server/forms.conf
Add the following line to the file
# Virtual path for webutil
AliasMatch ^/forms/webutil/(..*) DEV_SUITE /forms/webutil/$1"
8) Modify DEV_SUITE \forms\server\formsweb.cfg insde [default] add :

(Note these line should be in this order to run webutil properly)
[webutil
WebUtilArchive=frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar
WebUtilLogging=off
WebUtilLoggingDetail=normal
WebUtilErrorMode=Alert
WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval=5
WebUtilTrustInternal=true
WebUtilMaxTransferSize=16384
#baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljini.htm (UnMark this to use JINITIATOR instead of JRE)
baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljpi.htm
baseHTMLjpi=webutiljpi.htm
baseHTML=webutilbase.htm
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,icons.jar (For Jinitiator)
archive=frmall.jar,icons.jar (For JRE)
lookAndFeel=oracle
9) DEV_SUITE\forms\server\webutil.cfg
transfer.database.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
10) Start the OC4J instance
11) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
12) Copy frmWebUtil.fmb to DEV_SUITE \forms\ folder from this documents directory open it
in the form builder then
Connect to webutil schema then webutil/webutil@connectstring
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K). If any runtime error
occurs re-attach webutil.pll library then
Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
Note: For Oracle Application Server, on all platforms, you must regenerate webutil.pll before using it; otherwise
you’ll encounter error
ORA-06508 when running a form with the attached library. To recompile, use the following command:
frmcmp module=ORACLE_HOME\forms\webutil.pll
userid=<webutil/webutil@dbconnect> module_type=library compile_all=yes
13) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if

the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
14) Run your form.

If you want to use JRE instead of JINITIATOR follow these steps;
DEV_SUITE\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
Change this line

baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljini.htm
to this
baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljpi.htm
One more thing you cannot use webutil functions/procedure in pre-form and when-new-form-instance.
Because library/java beans need to loaded before using. It can be accomplished by running timer until
the bean loaded and calling the functions/procedure when timer expired.
To run Orix Aplication from Intranet allow popup from intranet site.
Following are the steps
In Internet Exporer
Open Tools>Popup-Blocker>Popup-Blocker Settings
Add entries

Applies to:
Oracle Forms - Version: 10.1.2.2.0 to 10.1.2.3.0

Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
This document explains how to obtain FRMWEBUTIL.JAR file from the IAS/IDS Patchset kit
(10.1.2.x). This file is needed when you upgrade the IAS from 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.2/3 to fix the
Webutil issues described in the
Note 403568.1 - Webutil Fails To Show The Filechooser or Other Functions of Webutil Demo
After Applying 10.1.2.x on OAS
Patches applied to WebUtil are delivered as part of a complete iDS release. They can be obtained
from the latest iDS install. IDS 10.1.2 is released only for Windows, Linux and Solaris only on
these platforms 10.1.2.x will contain the new webutil.jar version.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/WebUtilFAQ.htm
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Solution
0. Download patch 10.1.2.2 (Patch 4960210) or 10.1.2.3 (Patch 5983622) and install it.
Current signature for frmwebuil.jar from 10.1.2.3 patch expires on January 2009. You can get a
new frmwebuil.jar that is signed with a new certificate that is valid beyond January 2009 from
Patch 7384879 . Please pay attention to the version you download 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3. Once you
get the patch and unzip it, you can skip to step 8 .
1. Unzip the patchfile to a folder (we will call this folder Patch1012x for example).
2. Open a shell or a CMD window on your IAS server.
3. Ensure that the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is correctly pointing to your IAS
10.1.2 instance.
You can check this with the command :
On Linux/Unix:
echo $ORACLE_HOME
On Windows:
echo %ORACLE_HOME%
4. Add in the PATH environment variable the path to jdk\bin from your IAS installation:
For Linux/Unix:
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin
For Windows:
export PATH=%PATH%;%ORACLE_HOME\jdk\bin
5. Go to folder
Patch1012x/Disk1/stage/Patches/oracle.developer.forms.builder/10.1.2.2.0/1/DataFiles/ (for
Linux/Unix)
OR
Patch1012x\Disk1\stage\Patches\oracle.developer.forms.builder\10.1.2.2.0\1\DataFiles\ (for
Windows)
OR
Patch1012x/Disk1/stage/Patches/oracle.developer.forms.builder/10.1.2.3.0/1/DataFiles/ (for
Linux/Unix)
OR
Patch1012x\Disk1\stage\Patches\oracle.developer.forms.builder\10.1.2.3.0\1\DataFiles\ (for
Windows)
6. Here you would have a file webutil.jar containing a file frmwebutil.jar (Linux/Unix) or a file
webutil.2.2.jar containing a file frmwebutil.jar0 (Windows) .
To check if the file is the right one run the following command and you should see the files in
the archive and the size of frmwebutil.jar (Linux/Unix) or frmwebutil.jar0 (Windows):
Linux/Unix:
jar tvf webutil.jar
will show:
282640 Mon Oct 09 22:45:58 EEST 2006 frmwebutil.jar (in 10.1.2.2)
Windows:
jar tfv webutil.2.2.jar
will show:
282645 Thu Oct 12 07:01:44 EEST 2006 frmwebutil.jar0 (in 10.1.2.2)
7. Extract the file from the JAR archive:
Linux/Unix:
jar xf webutil.jar forms/java/frmwebutil.jar
Windows:
jar xf webutil.2.2.jar frmwebutil.jar0

This should create a file frmwebutil.jar (Linux/Unix) or frmwebutil.jar0 (Windows) in the folder:
Patch1012x/Disk1/stage/Patches/oracle.developer.forms.builder/10.1.2.2.0/1/DataFiles/
OR
Patch1012x/Disk1/stage/Patches/oracle.developer.forms.builder/10.1.2.3.0/1/DataFiles/
8. Make a backup of frmwebutil.jar from the IAS 10.1.2.x installation.

The frmwebutil.jar is located in ORACLE_HOME/forms/java.
For Linux/Unix:
mv $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java/frmwebutil.jar $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java/frmwebutil.jar.old
For Windows:
ren %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar.ol
d
9. Copy and rename the file that you extracted to ORACLE_HOME/forms/java.
For Linux/Unix:
mv frmwebutil.jar $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java/frmwebutil.jar
For Windows:
ren frmwebutil.jar0 %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
Attention
1.) Patchset 10.1.2.2 includes Webutil version 10.1.2.2 and patchset 10.1.2.3 includes Webutil
version 10.1.2.3
2.) For platforms where no Formsbuilder exists (e.g HP and AIX), you have to download
separately Linux/Windows/Sun Solaris patch and extract the same to get new frmwebutil.jar.
