My requirement is i am having a file in the client machine. But the forms (Version 6i) is running on the 9iAS. Now i have to access the text file ie. i have to read that file and i have to upload that contents into a table. I am using the Text_IO package for the reading the file. It is working fine for the client server but it is not working for 9iAS. Can i do this using java bean ? I am able to locate and browse the file using java bean and when-custom-item-event trigger using get_parameter_attr. Please suggest me how can i do this.

Thanks in advance.

Upload the file from the client to the server & then treat it as an
external table to transfer the data into a regular table.
