Many thanks in advance,

Using a good old Forms application on a brand new mobile? Are you kidding?
Mia Urman and Oraplayer will be presenting the full process in detail in a FREE webinar hosted by ODTUG called Take Your Oracle Forms on the Road Using ADF Mobile
“In our constant effort to show how we can achieve Oracle Forms modernization without re-development we decided to rise to the ultimate challenge and show how we can run Oracle Forms from the
newly released ADF Mobile »
If you are such a Forms survivor aiming to keep in touch with in the new world, it is worthwhile to follow this event.

This version allows the developer to display video clips inside or outside the Forms application.
The video clip can be loaded from the client, an A.S. virtual directory, an Internet URL and, of course, from a database BLOB column.
The movie is played through the Quicktime Java Bean, so that the client must have QuickTime installed.

I see, more and more often, questions from people that (finally) migrate from C/S to Web Forms versions, and don't know how to display charts (feature that is no longer available in Web version).
Of course, the first point is to use the Oracle official FormsGraph Java Bean.
Another solution, that does not require lot of code, is to use the Google Chart tools. It is easy as sending an HTTP Url that
returns a PNG image of the desired chart ;-)
However, this solution requires an image item that can be populated from an Internet URL.
The Forms Look and Feel project can do it, but is a little bit heavy for those who only want to display charts, and nothing more.
So that, the Handle Image Java Beans are the right solution.
There are four versions, one that is JInitiator compatible HandleImage I, and three that are JRE 1.4 compatible, HandleImage II, HandleImage III, and HandleImage IV.
If you want to learn the specific Google Chart syntax, you can explore the Google Chart site , but also study ready to use snippets from this interesting Web site.
Good charts !

Here is a very interesting blog entry from Mia Urman. It is a treasure for those who (don't want to) fight with that installation steps.
See particularly the "Installation & Configuration: Tips & Tricks for installing Weblogic and Oracle Forms 11g" slides.

For those people who don't want to hear about anything else than PL/SQL, here is Web 2.0 framework that lets you build world class Web applications with only PL/SQL!
Formspider apps run using 100% AJAX, DHTML and JavaScript without the need to know any of them.
