The Goals of WebUtil?
WebUtil had an overriding goal to produce
a utility that any Forms developer could use to carry
out the complex tasks on the client browser machines by simply
coding PL/SQL. With WebUtil, everything the programmer needs
to do is exposed through a PL/SQL library.
What is WebUtil?
WebUtil provides a simple way to achieve
client side integration while running Oracle Forms on the Web.
It simplifies the upgrade of existing applications to the web,
and enhances the capabilities of Web based Oracle Forms applications.
The History of WebUtil?
Forms Development and Oracle Support
worked together to produce WebUtil; an essential piece of the
Web migration jigsaw.
