Re: Help !! WebForms hang when run thru browser

[Quoted] Okay I have had lots of solutions thrown my way but unfortunately none are [Quoted] working. People have indicated versions of software, setup of the OAS, Environment variables and many more...

The latest indications have been that the illegal access error exception is [Quoted] down to the security setup in the OAS. I have tried what was recommended but [Quoted] that did not work. I am now convinced that if you define no security in OAS, [Quoted] no security will be applied to the virtual directories so I am sure this is [Quoted] not my problem anyway. Another indication was to have the CLASSPATH set to [Quoted] point to the CLASSES.ZIP file. This obviously picks up all the core JDK [Quoted] classes but %ORACLE_HOME%/forms60/java must also be in your CLASSPATH to [Quoted] pick up the oracle classes like oracle.forms.engine.Main.

I have now started digging into what this java exception I am getting is [Quoted] really all about and I am deriving the following.

First a recap on the Java exception that is thrown...

java.lang.IllegalAccessError:
oracle.forms.engine.Runform.<init>(Loracle/forms/e ngine/Main;ILjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang /Str
[Quoted] ing;ILjava/lang/String;I)V

        at oracle.forms.engine.Main.createRunform(Main.java)
        at oracle.forms.engine.Main.startImpl(Main.java)
        at oracle.forms.engine.Main.start(Main.java)
        at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:296)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:466)

The definition of this exception is...

    "Signals that a class or initiator is not accessible"

Effectively I believe this error stack means that the last method to run successfully was...

    oracle.forms.engine.Main.createRunform(Main.java)

and within this method it must have tried to instantiated an instance of the class...

    oracle.forms.engine.Runform

[Quoted] using the constructor... (derived from using javap on oracle.forms.engine.Runform)

    protected
oracle.forms.engine.Runform(oracle.forms.engine.Main,java.lang.Str ing,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,int);

[I do not know what the <init> means, or the letter V in the thrown exception message)

Notice the constructor being used to instantiated this class has the access [Quoted] modifier "protected"

Protected means it is accessible in the same package or any classes subclasses from this class.

However oracle.forms.engine.Main does not appear to be subclassed from oracle.forms.engine.Runform. So for oracle.forms.engine.Main to be able to [Quoted] instantiate a oracle.forms.engine.Runform they must be in the same package. [Quoted] I don't appear to be able to get that information out of javap, but as they [Quoted] are in the same physical directory I would hope they were. To me the error [Quoted] message though indicates that they are not !!!

If this is the case it implies to me it will never work with the version of [Quoted] Forms server that I am running and that it is nothing to do with my setup. I [Quoted] have definitely had webforms up and running on this same PC with Forms 4.5 [Quoted] and an older OAS but the indications are that other people out there have [Quoted] manage to run Forms 6.0 as webforms in a similar setup.

Has anybody managed it though with patch 3, should I revert back to my old [Quoted] version of forms and then just apply patches 1 and 2 ?

If anybody is switched on to this topic area or know more about Java perhaps [Quoted] you add your thoughts.

It's getting late now so I am going to sign off now from my 5/6 days trying [Quoted] to get this ruddy thing working.
