27 PL/SQL Applications Using Forms

Oracle Application Server Forms Services provides a runtime environment to display Oracle Forms applications from a Web browser, either through the Internet or your intranet. These services make it possible for Oracle Forms developers to deploy Forms on the Web quickly. Forms applications are created in a wizard-based environment where developers can lay out transactional forms and associate PL/SQL code with visual elements quickly. Oracle Application Server Forms Services consists of a listener and a runtime engine on the application server, and a generic Java client applet on the client tier. The Forms runtime engine runs the business logic defined in the Forms application, and provides a connection to the Oracle database. The Java applet provides the client user interface.
