is a 'Web-deployed form.' To do this Forms 9i Builder needs to integrate with some form of HTTP Listener. This is provided by another component of the Oracle 9iDS Release 2 install -- the OC4J (Oracle Container For J2EE). If there is no HTTP Listener started, the FRM-10142 error will occur.
Once an OC4J instance has been started it acts as lightweight HTTP Listener enabling the developer to test the forms/reports application modules in a true Web (even if only intranet) architecture.
- Start the OC4J instance:
- In the Start menu click StartProgramsOracle 9i Developer SuiteReports DeveloperStart OC4J Instance, or find and run the startinst.bat file in your Dev 9i home. It is usually in Dev9i homej2eeOracle9iDS.
- On MS Windows a command window should appear indicating that an OC4J instance has been started; simply minimize this command window to the taskbar.
- Then try running the form again from Forms Builder.
- Having finished with Forms Builder, to stop the OC4J instance:
- Use the Stop OC4J Instance shortcut, located in the same place as the Start shortcut, or close the command window that you had minimized previously.
