WebUtil

WebUtil is a pre-packaged set of components that can be used to add a great deal of extra functionality to Web-deployed Forms applications. WebUtil is primarily focused at solving the more common challenges faced by Oracle Forms developers who wish to build applications which integrate tightly with the Client Browser machine - the machine that the end user is actually sitting at.

Traditionally, Oracle Forms has provided the means of integration with the machine that the Forms executable is running on. However, in the Web-deployed scenario, this can be remote from end users and may even be a different operating system from the systems that are being used to host the application's user interface. WebUtil gives Oracle Forms developers the means to interact with the client browser machines with PL/SQL, without having to learn any new technology. As such, WebUtil is particularly suited to programmers who are migrating client server applications from Microsoft Windows desktops to the Web, but still need some integration between their Oracle Forms applications and external packages such as the Microsoft Office Suite running on the client browser machines.
