Configurar ORACLE DEVELOPER SUITE FORM 10g en otros navegadores


Configurar ORACLE DEVELOPER SUITE FORM 10g en otros navegadores. Google Chrome, IE 9, etc.

Oracle Jinitiator is no longer compatible with oracle forms services. By default, Oracle Forms services 10g uses Jinitiator 1.3.1.22 to run Forms applications. Jinitiator was compatible with Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox version 2.0. But latest internet explorer like IE 8 and 9 crash with Jinitiator. Similar behavior is seen with Firfox version 3.0 and later.
To resolve this problem, you must configure JRE to work with forms services 10g. It is really easy and requires only very little work. Forms services 10g are by default configured to run with JRE 1.4.2_06. To get this working, locate following lines in your FORMSWEB.CFG file,
# System parameter: default base HTML file
baseHTML=base.htm
# System parameter: base HTML file for use with JInitiator client
baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm
# System parameter: base HTML file for use with Sun’s Java Plug-In
baseHTMLjpi=basejpi.htm
Make changes as shown in bold face below.
# System parameter: default base HTML file
baseHTML=basejpi.htm
# System parameter: base HTML file for use with JInitiator client
baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm
# System parameter: base HTML file for use with Sun’s Java Plug-In
baseHTMLjpi=basejpi.htm
Make sue that following parmaments in FORMSWEB.CFG are as mentioned below.
jpi_download_page=http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.4.2_06/index.html
jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA
jpi_codebase=http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4_2-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,2,06
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_06
Now install J2RE version 1.4.2_06  from following URL,

OR
you can also omit version no from following line,
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_06
after ommiting version, above line will look like following
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet
Now you can use any latest JRE version. (Thanks to S Shamji  and JoeAStudent for thier comments related to version change )
Remove Jinitiator from you computer and restart OC4J instance. Now your Forms application 10g will use Sun’s Java plug-in instead of Jinitiator.
Update:
Looks like Firefox 12 does not work by omitting version no from formsweb.cfg. Instead you need to provide correct installed version.
For example, If you have jre 1.6.x installed in your system then edit following line as under.
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6
The above line covers JRE 6 with all update levels.
If still facing problem then provide the exact version of  JRE with update level as under.
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_24
In “formsweb.cfg”,  jpi_classid indicates the version of JRE. “clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA” indicates that 1.4.2_06 or any later version can be used.

  2. chrome no abre nada de java, con firefox hay problemas tambien, edge tambien, solo con IE podrías habilitar y abrir forms12C y java.
    De todas formas, revisa en el EM si el OHS/apache está arriba, porque si está caido no sirves nada.
    Un salu2
