From Oracle Forms to Java:
Migration Made Easy

Forms2Java Overview

Forms2Java Master Detail Demo

Forms2Java is sophisticated and proven solution for the automated migration of Oracle Forms applications to Java technology:

  • Up to 100% code generation rate;
  • Outputs database independent code;
  • Generates user interfaces in Flex for a Rich Internet Application;
  • Produces a completely Service-oriented application;
  • Guarantees functional equivalence and the retention of code ownership.

Forms2Java Tools

Forms2Java is a collection of tools that enable the migration of Oracle Forms and Reports to Java technology, plus the maintenance and evolution of the migrated application.

Assessment for all migration projects starts with the Forms2Net Analyzer, a tool initially created for ATX's Forms2Net solution but equally applicable for Forms2Java. It is available to registrants through www.forms2net.com.

The Forms2Java Converter converts Oracle Forms, Menus and Libraries to pure Java and Flex code. The code can be imported into almost any Java-compatible development environment, including Eclipse and Netbeans.

The Reports2Java Converter converts Oracle Reports and their libraries to Jasper Reports, resulting in a standard Jasper iReports environment using Java classes that were created from the migration of PL/SQL code.

The Form Explorer tool is an Eclipse plug-in that enables easy navigation through the application source code and a set of wizards that automatically generate code based on simple steps, resulting in a significant productivity gain for all developers.

The Forms2Java Framework is a collection of Java classes that abstract from the normal J2EE class library, providing a significant amount of functionality as is found in environments such as Oracle Forms. By using the Forms2Java Framework, developers not only gain a significantly high conversion rate through the Forms2Java and Reports2Java Converters, but they are also relieved of having to code infrastructural items, instead being able to focus on writing the business functionality required.
