Forms LAF Project (A New Customize Look & Feel For Oracle Forms 10g)

Bored of Using Old look & Feel in Oracle Forms 10g? Think again,i am going to show you the easy way to change the entire Look & Feel For Oracle Forms 10g Through Java Bean.

Perquisites :

1. Java JRE Configured in Your Oracle Forms 10g (See my previous Post for Implementation)
2. LAF Project Source Files     Download
3. (Note : You will have to configure your Oracle 10g on Java JRE update 6 V.22 in order to get proper functionality)
   Extract All the files from zip package into your PC.
   • Copy the corresponding JAR file to your <DEVSUITE_HOME><devsuite_home>/forms/java directory.
   • Update your <devsuite_home>/forms/server/formsweb.cfg file.
     As it needs the Sun Java Plug-in instead of the Oracle JInitiator, you have to create a special section that uses the Sun Plug-in.
     You also need to add the corresponding JAR file to the archive tag (not the archive_jini).
     Modify the existing [jpi] section or create it as follow:
     [jpi]
     # — Forms 10.1.2 –
     archive=frmall.jar,laf_1012.jar
     # — Forms 10.1.2.3 –
     #archive=frmall.jar,laf_10123.jar
     # — Forms 9i –
     #archive=f90all.jar,laf_902.jar
     baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm
     jpi_download_page=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.6.0/download.jsp
     jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0022-ABCDEFFEDCBA
     jpi_codebase=http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6u22-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,6,0,22
     jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet
     separateFrame=true
     Then tell Forms Builder to use this configuration section via the menu:
     Edit -> Preferences… -> Runtime : http://xxx:8889/forms/frmservlet?config=jpi
   Load and execute in the database the two SQL script files located in the /script directory:
   - PKG_LAF.sql
   - PKG_DB_LAF_LOV.sql
   Compile the laf.pll PL/SQL library in PLL Folder, then copy the pll.plx and laf.olb files to one of the directories defined in the FORMS_PATH Registry variable.
