Webutil, ora_ffi and source code

407026Oct 21 2003 — edited Oct 22 2003

Hi
We use forms 6i, so, of course, we can't use webutil.
What we currently do in client/server is use the get_file_name to allow the user to select a file from their drives and then that path and filename are stored in the database.
Then, using some ORA_FFI code, we allow the user to click on the file name and the file opens on their machine, using the default application (done by a call to shellexecutea, I think)
ANYHOW, what we'd like to do is bring this over into our web deployment.
For the get_file_name item, I was thinking that if we could get the source code for Webutil, we could make it work for 6i.
Question: Is there any place I can get the source?

For the opening of the file, it gets a little more complicated.
Question: Does anyone know how I might accomplish the same functionality for our web as we have on our client/server version?

(yeah, I know this is kind of a big question)
thanks!
-Joel
