Re: Java (8i) as a data source for forms?

Rich-

My recommendation would be to write a Java Call Specification (i.e. PL/SQL wrapper) for your 8i Java that also would serve as a Procedural Data Source for Forms 6, which I assume you are using. Forms 6 can use PL/SQL Stored Procedures as data sources for Blocks.
