create object problem in Oracle Forms

Hi,

I am trying to use URLFetch in Oracle Forms on Windows XP. After downloading and installation of the urlfetch.dll and urlfetch.class I can see in the Forms its interface and all of the methods.

When I try to create the object of the 'URLFetch.URLFetch' I get the null pointer. There are no problems with creating objects of other classes.

Do you have any idea what might be wrong? Have someone used this component in Oracle Forms?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Todd,

Thank you for your quick reply and precise link which was very helpful. In fact, the URLFetch component requires java from Microsoft while I was using java from SUN. After I installed Microsoft's VM it works fine.

I'm not a fan of java, especially during installation of "cross-platform" software ;)

Thanks and regards,
Matt

Hi Matt,

I can't say that we've ever tried URLFetch with Oracle Forms, but this FAQ may be of assistance:
