Client web browser closes abruptly when accessing forms deployed using 9iAS 1.0. 2

Question

I am using 9iAS 1.0.2 on W2K server with SP3.I could successfully launch the application on web browser at server side.Hoever when I try to access from client machine the first time it install the Jinitiator and the web browser gets closed.
why it is happening? Appreciate any thoughts!
Thanks

The problem here is the SOAP engine running on Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.2 is a lower version than that running on Oracle9iAS 9.0.3/OC4J 9.0.3.
To get them to interoperate (e.g. 1.0.2.2 calling 9.0.3), you would have to do the following:
1. Build your Web service in OC4J 9.0.3/JDev 9.0.3
2. Deploy to 9.0.3 environment
3. Build a Web service client on the 1.0.2.2 environment, not using any 9.0.3 libraries (see below for a link to a paper to do this)
Conversely if you wanted to call from a OC4J 9.0.3 Web service client to a Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.2 Web service, you would have to do the following:
1. Build your Web service on 1.0.2.2 using 1.0.2.2 libraries
2. Deploy this to a 1.0.2.2 environment
3. Build a client to the 1.0.2.2 Web service using the 9.0.3 libraries
The reason it likely is not working is that it looks like you are mixing two different generations of SOAP libraries.
See the link below for how to build and consume Web services using Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.2:

At the end of that paper is a link to another paper showing how to use JDeveloper 3.2 to build a Web service for 1.0.2.2 - it shows how to use its libraries versus the libraries that came with 9.0.3.
