here

Configuring WebUtil at OS:

1.Download
WebUtil http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/forms/files/webutil/webutil_106.zip
2. Download Java Com Library http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
3. Extract both zips to some directory.
4. Copy
File frmwebutil.jar
From folder: webutil_106\webutil_106\java To: $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java

File: jacob.jar
From folder: jacob_18 To: $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java

File: d2kwut60.dll, JNIsharedstubs.dll


From folder: webutil_106\webutil_106\webutil To: $ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil

File: jacob.dll
From folder: jacob_18 To: $ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil

File: forms_base_ie.js, forms_ie.js


- From folder: webutil_106\webutil_106\java To: $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java

File: webutil.olb, webutil.pll and create_webutil_db.sql


From folder: webutil_106\webutil_106 To: $ORACLE_HOME/forms

File: webutilbase.htm, webutiljini.htm, webutiljpi.htm and webutil.cfg


- From folder: webutil_106\webutil_106\server To: $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server

File: sign_webutil.bat
- From folder: webutil_106\webutil_106\webutil To: $ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil

5. In $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server/formsweb.cfg file
Change the following entries
# Forms applet archive setting for JInitiator
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar
if you use JRE plugin then this line also required
archive=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar
[webutil]
WebUtilArchive=/forms/java/frmwebutil.jar,/forms/java/jacob.jar
6. In $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server/default.env file change the following entries

FORMS_PATH=C:\YourOracle_Home\forms;C:\YourOracle_home\forms\webutil

# webutil config file path


WEBUTIL_CONFIG=C:\YourOracle_Home\forms\server\webutil.cfg
Add frmwebutil.jar, jacob.jar into Classpath
CLASSPATH=C:\YourOracle_Home\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar;C:\YourOracle_Home\forms\java\jacob.jar
7. Add frmwebutil.jar and Jacob.jar path entries into Windows Registry (Start > Run > type regedit and
press enter) goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > ORACLE > DEVSUITE_HOME >
FORMS_BUILDER_CLASSPATH Variable.
Note: if you are using Linux then instead of this setup the environment variable.

8. Sign Webutil JAR files by running these following commands Make sure Form Builder is Closed
C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\webutil>sign_webutil.bat c:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\webutil>sign_webutil.bat c:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java\jacob.jar

Configuring Database:

1. Connect as Scott or your User


2. Run the script $ORACLE_HOME/forms/create_webutil_db.sql using SQLPLUS or any tool.

Setting up Form Builder:

1. Open Form builder Connect with SCOTT and in PL/SQL libraries open Webutil.pll file
2. File > Save as and Rename the file to different name e.g WebUtil_lib
(Trust me it works to avoid Webutil not found error) :)
3. Compile the new PLL file and generate it
4. Attached the new named Webutil_lib.pll to your form with Remove Path option YES.
5. Open WebUtil.olb file Object group in builder and copy or subclass it into your form.
6. Now compile your form and run it.

Note: Browser will ask to certify these libraries first time Choose ALWAYS certify. Check Java
Console icon on the task bar and see frmwebtul.jar and jacob.jar are loaded successfully.
7. Press Browse button on form and choose Datafile.txt and Press Open...Text file will load into the Data
Block.

Feel free to comment on this if i missed something plz inform me.
