Hello Forms Peeps!
We are having an issue trying to use WEB_UTIL with Forms11gr2 running on the Weblogic Server (I'm not talking about setting up your local Form Builder environment).
When a user visits a "webutil using" .fmb for the 1st time, it triggers the Forms Server to Auto-Download the matching .dll files that it needs to function (jacob-1.14.3-x86.dll, etc).
By default, the webutil.cfg file has the "client destination target URL" set: install.syslib.location.client.0.0=webutil\syslib\$(SERVERHOST)\win32
This results in them being written to: \\C:Users\username\webutil\syslib\win32
This works as expected. The problem is that the Java Applet does not have this URL in it's PATH variable when it is running (in our configuration) and so is throwing a Java Exception at runtime: Exception in thread "Thread-13" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jacob-1.14.3-x86 in java.library.path at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(Unknown Source)
I feel like we are missing a Forms Server (or Weblogic) config param somewhere that adds this path to the PATH of the JVM running in the browser.
I know if you comment out the above line in webutil.cfg that it will start using the Java\jre folder, which is in the PATH, however we would like to set it up the way it was optimally designed by default.
I cannot find a clear explanation of this anywhere in the Oracle docs. Just fragments here and there scattered in various documents and blogs across the internet.
Thanks in advance!
