I am following the threads here on REST APIs and have found the most recommended way is to jar a java file and place it in the CLASSPATH of default.env. Then, upon opening Oracle Form Builder, we should find that jar. However for me that is not the case.
I am currently using Oracle Forms 12.2.1.4. This is the java file i have created following the examples in Oracle Forum. I then made it into a jar called RestClient.jar
package frmRest;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
public class RestClient {
public static String makeCall(String endpoint) throws Exception {
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
BufferedReader reader = null;
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
try {
URL url = new URL(endpoint);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
result.append(line);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new Exception("Error calling REST service: " + e.getMessage());
} finally {
if (reader != null) {
reader.close();
}
if (connection != null) {
connection.disconnect();
}
}
return result.toString();
}
}
Then i moved the jar file to
K:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\alioracle_domain\config\fmwconfig\components\FORMS\forms1\java
and then i edited my default.env of CLASSPATH to be this now
CLASSPATH=K:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\alioracle_domain\config\fmwconfig\components\FORMS\forms1\java\RestClient.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\jlib\importer.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\jlib\frmbipc.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\forms\j2ee\frmsrv.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\forms\provision\frmconfig.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\jlib\ldapjclnt11.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\jlib\debugger.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\jlib\ewt3.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\modules\oracle.bali.share\share.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\jlib\utj.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\jlib\zrclient.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\reports\jlib\rwrun.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar;K:\Oracle\Middleware\forms\java\frmRest.jar
my default.env is located in K:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\alioracle_domain\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_12.2.1\config
When i started all of my Oracle Forms Services, and ran Oracle Form builder, these are my only options. Did i do something wrong?
