Oracle Portal form component APIs are in the package wwa_app_module.

An Oracle Portal form component displays a customized form that can be used as an interface for updating tables, executing stored procedures, and generating other customized forms. The APIs described here can be used for all three types of form components you can build with Oracle Portal:

A form based on a table or view enables end users to insert, update, and delete data in a database table or view.

A master-detail form displays a master row and multiple detail rows within a single HTML page. The form contains fields for updating values in two database tables or views.

A form based on a procedure enables end users to insert, update, and delete data in a database stored procedure.
