/*

* Variables

*/

private IHandler mHandler = null; // Forms Handler

private String sInfos = null; // return string

// default constructor

{

}

public final void init(IHandler handler)

{

super.init(handler);

sInfos ="[serverArgs]="+mHandler.getApplet().getParameter("serverArgs")+"\n";

sInfos+="[pluginspage]="+mHandler.getApplet().getParameter("jinit_download_page")+"\n";

sInfos+="[type]="+mHandler.getApplet().getParameter("jinit_mimetype")+"\n";

sInfos+="[java_codebase]="+mHandler.getApplet().getParameter("codebase")+"\n";

sInfos+="[java_archive]="+mHandler.getApplet().getParameter("archive_jini")+"\n";

sInfos+="[width]="+mHandler.getApplet().getParameter("Width")+"\n";

sInfos+="[height]="+mHandler.getApplet().getParameter("Height")+"\n";

sInfos+="[serverURL]="+mHandler.getApplet().getParameter("serverURL")+"\n";

sInfos+="[logo]="+mHandler.getApplet().getParameter("logo")+"\n";

sInfos+="[imageBase]="+mHandler.getApplet().getParameter("imageBase")+"\n";

sInfos+="[formsMessageListener]="+mHandler.getApplet().getParameter("formsMessageListener")+"\n";

sInfos+="[recordFileName]="+mHandler.getApplet().getParameter("recordFileName");

}

/**

* Get the result string from Forms

**/

public Object getProperty(ID pId)

{

if (pId == pGetInfos)

{

return "" + sInfos ;

}

else

{

return super.getProperty(pId);

}

}

}

3. Forms configuration

Ø Copy the appletproperties.jar file in the /forms/java directory

Ø Edit the /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file to add the jar file to the archive_jini variable

archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar,……,appletproperties.jar

4. How to implement this bean in your own form

Ø Open your form

Ø Add a Javabean component to any block

Ø Set its Implementation class property to : oracle.forms.fd.AppletProperties

5. The properties that can be read from the bean

Ø The string that contains the applet parameters

Get_Custom_Property( 'BLOC.BEAN', 1, 'GET_INFOS' );

6. The sample dialog

Ø Download the appletpropeties.zip file

Ø Unzip the appletproperties.zip file

Ø Copy the appletproperties.jar file in your /forms/java/ directory

Ø Edit your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file

Ø Open the appletproperties.fmb module (Oracle Forms 9.0.2)

Ø Compile all and run the module
