Configuration Files
The table in this section lists the default locations of Forms configuration files on UNIX. The location of these files in Windows is similar. Samples and usage of specific Forms configuration files is also provided.
Note:
Where indicated, the location of files are given relative to the DOMAIN_HOME
directory. Forward slashes should be replaced by back slashes on Windows. For information about terminology used such as Middleware home, Oracle home, Oracle instance, and so on, see Starting and Stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware in Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware.

web.xml
The web.xml
file is the web application deployment descriptor file for forms Java EE application. This file is located at $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/WLS_FORMS/tmp/_WL_user/formsapp_12.2.1/<random_string>/war/WEB-INF
/
. Advanced users might want to edit the web.xml
file to:
-
Run Oracle Forms using static HTML pages (rather than the Forms servlet).
When Oracle Forms applications are run using a method other than the Forms servlet (for example, static HTML pages or JSPs), parameter settings in the
formsweb.cfg
file are not used. You may therefore need to define servlet parameters for the Listener Servlet, such asenvFile
(specifying the currentFORMS_PATH
for the Forms runtime processes and other application specific environment settings to be used).Such changes can be inserted into
web.xml
orplan.xml
. See Modifying of Forms J2EE Application Deployment Descriptors.The following table describes two servlet mappings.
