# Name # forms.conf # Purpose # Apache mod_oc4j and mod_jserv configuration file for Forms Services. # This file should be included into the Oracle Apache HTTP Listener # configuration file (typically by adding an include statement to the # oracle_apache.conf file) # Remarks # If Forms is to be used with JServ, the jserv.properties file needs editing # to add the "forms" servlet zone with properties file forms.properties # Notes # Virtual paths: We use AliasMatch when defining virtual paths for # security reasons (prevents directory browsing). # Virtual path mapping for Forms Java jar and class files (codebase) AliasMatch ^/forms/java/(..*) "%FORMS_ORACLE_HOME%/forms/java/$1" # Virtual path for JInitiator downloadable executable and download page AliasMatch ^/forms/jinitiator/(..*) "%FORMS_ORACLE_HOME%/jinit/$1" # Virtual path for runform.htm (used to run a form for testing purposes) AliasMatch ^/forms/html/(..*) "%FORMS_ORACLE_HOME%/tools/web/html/$1" # Virtual path for webutil AliasMatch ^/forms/webutil/(..*) "%FORMS_ORACLE_HOME%/forms/webutil/$1" # Configuration for JServ (if mod_jserv.c is available and not mod_oc4j.c) <IfModule mod_jserv.c> # Only configure for JServ if mod_oc4j is NOT available: <IfModule !mod_oc4j.c> # Virtual path mapping for FormsServlet and ListenerServlet. # Purpose: paths to invoke the servlets should be /forms/frmservlet # and /forms/lservlet respectively. # We map frmservlet to servlet.frm, and lservlet to servlet.frml. # The apJServAction directives (below) will then remap those. AliasMatch ^/forms/frmservlet(.*) "/servlet.frm" AliasMatch ^/forms/lservlet(.*) "/servlet.frml" ApJServMount /forms/servlet /forms # # Let the servlets be called by file extension (e.g /servlet.frm) # ApJServAction .frm /forms/servlet/frmservlet ApJServAction .frml /forms/servlet/lservlet # Prevent access to the Forms Servlets by paths other than # /forms/frmservlet and /forms/lservlet. # 1. Prevent access via the .frm and .frml file extensions: <LocationMatch ^.*\.frm.*> order deny,allow deny from all </LocationMatch> # 2. Stop access by class (by paths like # /forms/servlet/oracle.forms.servlet.FormsServlet) <LocationMatch ^/forms/servlet/oracle\.forms.*> order deny,allow deny from all </LocationMatch> </IfModule> </IfModule> # Config. for OC4J <IfModule mod_oc4j.c> Oc4jMount /forms OC4J_BI_Forms Oc4jMount /forms/frmservlet OC4J_BI_Forms Oc4jMount /forms/frmservlet/* OC4J_BI_Forms Oc4jMount /forms/lservlet OC4J_BI_Forms Oc4jMount /forms/lservlet/* OC4J_BI_Forms </IfModule>
