Upgrading to Oracle Forms Services 11g 13-11

13.2.8.3 Creating Forms Listener Servlet Alias Names

In Forms Services Release 6i, before patch 8, it was necessary to create alias names for the Forms servlet in the ORACLE_HOMEApacheApacheJServ confzone.properties file in order to use individual environment files for different applications. The Forms servlet in Oracle Forms Services does not require this. You can set the environment file name in the formsweb.cfg file using the envFile parameter, shown below: envFile=myApp.env Alias names for the Forms servlet are no longer created in ORACLE_ HOMEApacheApacheJServconfzone.properties. Instead, they are created in DOMAIN_HOMEserversWLS_FORMStmp_WL_userformsapp_ 11.1.1random_stringwarWEB-INFweb.xml. To create the alias names, copy the content between the servlet and servlet tags and change the servlet’s name. To create a URL mapping for the new servlet alias name, add the following to the file: servlet-mapping servlet-namenew servlet nameservlet-name url-patternnew url nameurl-pattern servlet-mapping

This parameter is set in the source_ OH ApacheApacheJServconfzone.properties file. You can display the test page for Oracle Forms Services with the following URL: http:hostname:portformsfrmservletadmin The information displayed depends on the value of the initialization parameter TestMode. This parameter is set in the DOMAIN_HOMEserversWLS_ FORMStmp_WL_userformsapp_11.1.1random_ stringwarWEB-INFweb.xml file.
