These apis offer the programmer several functions of which the PDF document merger is one.This morning I looked into the [...]

Last week I participated in a ADF workshop given at AMIS by Peter Ebell and Lucas Jellema. "I followed a similar workshop almost 2 years ago. Back then it was related to ADF and Struts and the amount of Java coding for a non Java person was almost too much, well to my taste. Back then [...]

Yesterday we ran into Oracle bug 1004056 while coding a module for a customer. I hear people think "Oracle Forms 60 that’s old". Yes it is but it is a platform still used by a lot of people. The bug is related to the fact that image items are not proper synchronized in a multi [...]

Some time ago I experimented with XML-Publisher 50 Desktop. The tool of which it looks like it is going to replace Oracle Reports in the future.
