Brief Summary:

Project Type:

What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)

Project Parts:

What do you want the worker to do on this project?

Requirements:	The worker will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem.
Programming:	The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).
User installation:	The installer will move the software from the place it was created (which is called the development or QC environment) to where you will use it (which is called the production environment). The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely.

Req. Doc. Type:

What kind of documentation do you want for this project?
Informal documentation - As the employer talks back and forth about the project with the worker, those conversations become the requirements.Remember to communicate ALL of the details of your project on the vWorker.com site. If you don't, and there is a dispute, then important details of the contract will not be documented and cannot be taken into account in arbitration. If you feel you MUST go offsite (for example, using the phone or IM) then afterwards post everything onsite and get the other party to post that they agree to those contractual terms.

Program Type:

What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)?

A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server.

Desktop / server program info

Size of application:

How many screens/forms need to be created/edited in this application?
Approximately 1.

Programming Language:

What programming language(s) do you want your application written in?
I do know the language(s).
Languages(s):

Java

Misc. details: I need to read the oracle web form (forms running on Oracle 9iAs server, Oracle 10gAs server) values from a client application.

We wanted to know if we could use Oracle PJC to do that? The pjc code will run from the desktop and it should read the form values automatically.

Here is the summary of Use Case:

- code must be able to identify an Oracle Form application (web deployment) and interacts with the form controls. The main functionalities that we are looking for are:

1. Identify that the application is starting up and display UI. This functionality is currently leveraging the Java Accessibility API which notifies a specific Secure Login hook when the UI is started.

2. Identify the addition/removal of graphical components in the application. Today the mechanism we have identified to achieve that is via a specific AWT container listener. When a component is added to the form we are notified of this addition. We then identify the specific parent window associated to that component. We have used that option as the specific accessibility entry points meant for that purpose (topLevelWindowCreated) are not triggered for form applications).

3. Build the hierarchy of components for a given window. For this we are leveraging Accessibility API (and AWT) to list all child elements of a given control.

4. Interact with the components: we use in that case the Accessibility API and AWT methods (for overcoming limitations of the Accessibility API where required)

We have looked at public Oracle documentation and identified the following:

- The Oracle.form.* packages javadoc don’t seem to be available publicly. We’d like to be able to access to this documentation so that we can see how to best leverage it for our integration.

- We have identified the PJC API as a possible integration point. In particular the IView interface. We think we maybe able to use that API for interacting with controls as in (4).

- We’d like to know if there are also mechanisms in PJC or Oracle.form packages that also could be used to address (2) where we would be notified specifically of Oracle form component addition, and (3) where we could given a given container list all of its components.

In Summary It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide:

- The java doc for the Oracle Form packages.

- A recommendation to either use AWT approach vs. Oracle.Form/PJC APis approach.

- Eventually some sample code that shows how to use the Oracle Form or PJC APIs to address the needed functionalities.

Also, we’d like to know if it is possible to retrieve the current applet context(or a more direct method to identify the current application) using any PJC/Oracle Form API that you could point us to.

one reference(http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/appletproperties/appletproperties.htm)
gives some information to query the applet parameters, however we don’t know how to get a handle on the current IHandler object from our code. We have access to the IView components added to a form, but there is no public accessor that can get to the IHandler object corresponding to an IView instance.

Operating system(s)

What operating systems(s) do you want your application to work on?
I do know the operating system(s):

Microsoft Windows -- version(s): windows xp

Database:

Will this project include a database?
No, it does not include a database.

Installation Program:

Does the worker need to create an installation program?
No. The worker needs to only give me instructions on how to install it.

Legal:

1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Buyer's environment) then they must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the seller's Seller Legal Agreement.

All deliverables must be uploaded to vWorker.com before the deadline(s) for this project...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this project...but instead alert vWorker.com of an un-arbitratable, illegal project.

Categories:
(Note: Like everything else on this page, these categories are part of the original contract for this project.)
Microsoft Windows, Languages, Java, Requirements, Operating systems / platforms, Internet browser, Other (Technology), Software related (includes websites)

Expert Guarantee Required:

     It is crucial to the employer that this entire project be completed (100%) by the deadline of days. They only want expert workers who will commit themselves to this deadline to bid. If you are not an expert or unable to commit completely to the deadline, then DO NOT BID on this project.

     If you are an expert and can commit, the employer would like you to demonstrate this by making an Expert Guarantee of at least 10% of your bid. (This would not need to be made now...but only if and when you are are selected as the winning bidder). If you complete the job (100% by the deadline), then your deposit would be refunded to you. If you do not, then you would forfeit the deposit and it would go to cover the employer's cancellation charge and the remainder donated to a non-profit charity.

     Please note that depending on how you choose to make the deposit, there may be a small, non-refundable processing fee. This fee can be reduced or eliminated by choosing a less expensive method of payment. Or, you may wish to ask the employer to cover the cost of the fee for you. You can do this in a number of ways such as: increasing the price of your bid, asking the employer to post a 2nd project to cover it (contingent on completion of the project), or by getting the employer to promise to pay the fee to you as a bonus (upon completion of the project). If you choose the bonus route, just remember that due to credit card/PayPal rules, vWorker.com CANNOT force an employer to pay a bonus involuntarily...even when promised on-site. So don't choose this option, unless you trust the employer, or are willing to take a small risk.

     This is just a very brief overview of how the Expert Guarantee works and there are many more details that you need to understand fully before you bid on this project. DO NOT BID on this project until you've read and fully understand everything about the Expert Guarantee (including reading the contract and the FAQs).
