Problems reading jar file from web

327043Oct 8 2002
I am (almost) running the OHJ as a JApplet inside of an Oracle Forms application via a Bean Area item and wrapper class; however, I am having difficulty opening the helpset file assigned to my helpset object. I keep receiving a permission denied error. I am using the jar:file: structure to reference the helpset file from within the jar, but I am not sure if an applet can find a specific jar file located on the server. Originally I was going to display the OHJ on a Bean Area item on a canvas in my form application; however, in the process I accidentally created another applet controlled by forms but can be manipulated and displayed independently of forms. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Jon,
there is a setting for this when using the new Data Load Definitions in APEX 21.1.
After creating the data load, navigate to Shared Components, Data Load Definitions
Edit your very Data Load Definition
Click the button to edit the Data Profile, which contains all information about the format, columns or data types
Scroll down towards the bottom and you'll see an attribute named Skip Rows.
Does that help?
regards

Alas, it appears too late - I need to skip the rows when defining the columns to match. It looks like while I can skip the rows, I have to go in and manually define each of the columns.
But perhaps I can edit the original spreadsheet to make the data definition...

Hi Jon,
ah - that's right. At design time there is no attribute to specify the amount of rows to skip. But the column mapping is only done once; so for the sample file you're uploading, you can also manually remove the rows in question, then create the data load definition, add the "Rows to Skip" attribute and save. Then you should be good, right?
But this is a good heads-up: We might have the Skip Rows attribute in the wizard ...
best regards

Carsten,
If I edit the excel file ahead of time, delete the header rows, use that to create the data load template, I can then use that to load the spreadsheet. That will work for my application.
But it would be really nice to have the SKIP_ROWS available as an option the wizard when defining the load sources.
