Forms 10g - Java Plug-in x Jinitiator

Hi
I have one system that is runing with Jinitiator, when run this system with Java Plug-in just not work! I click in the botton to call form just to do nothing => OPEN_FORM(vsNome_programa || '.fmx',ACTIVATE,no_SESSION,NO_SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA,vpId).

What is wrong?

I am posting a section of the formsweb.cfg from my configuration. This allows windows clients use Jinitiator and Linux clients to use Sun JRE.

Thisi is also a section I created just to use the JRE instead of Jinitiator, please compare the one above. For this test, I intentionally set the ssoMode to false.

we are using dynamic java versioning for the JRE, the following is also from my formsweb.cfg configuration file. Please note, it is set to 1.5 and higher, so if you have 1.6_13 JRE on the clients, the following will still work. There is a recent whitepaper on OTN dated January 2009 (Oracle 10gR2 Forms Services - Using Sun's Java Plug-in), which also provides detailed information on using Sun JRE.
# Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin
# The following is for statically defining the jre version, the second line
# is for dynamically defining it (1.5 or higher). Given JTLS is configured
# to work 1.5 or higher, we will use the dynamic one. But currently our application
# uses JRE 1.5_05, so higher is recommended. Zafer, R&A 21 Oct 2005

# We are using the dynamic setting instead of static for JTLS

# Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin
# If they dont have the related JRE, download the latest one
# Parameter related to the version of the Java Pluginl-1_5_0_05-windows-i586.cab
# If you want a specific version then it should be set like below
# jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.5.0_05
# If you want to set a minimum version (this version or higher), then it

Forms 10G - Java applet and Client Certificate

Hello,
I recently developed a servlet to read a client certificate on the application server.
I set the apache server to request a client certificate on launching.
Everything works fine.
Now, my customer wants to stop the application when the client certificate is removed (The client certificate is stored on a USB key).
After some tests, I realized that the client certificate is stored inside the java Apllet cache;
In other words, the Certificate is removed from the browser store (as expected) but not from the Applet store.
So my question is, Is it possible to configure Java applet not to keep certificate in cache ?
Or is it a way to force Applet to synchronize with the certificate store of the browser ?
thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you very much for your link...i saw there that you had the same problem. My question now is if Frank ( i know him from the Forms Forum :)) did tell you about working with the embedded server starting it as an external OC4J instance.
If he did please tell me also. i am interested in that because i havent heard of any patch on JDeveloper 10g on this matter.
All the best

Running Oracle forms 9i using java plug in 1.4.x

Hi,
i want run my forms (9i) using java plug in 1.4.x? could u plz tel me what are changes i have to do in formsconfig and in other places.

Thanks for the reply.
I am using Webutil 1.06 an jacob 1.8 with Oracle forms 9iDS (9.0.2.9 version)
i have gone through, step by step as u said,
but form is not running.. i am able to run the form using java-plug-in (1.4.2.)
but when i am implenting with webutil, form is not running...
as i studied the links given by u, in that webutil is compatible with only from 10g.
if so, which is the compatible webutil version for Oracle forms 9iDS (9.0.2.9 version).
My actual goal is to store a file (it may be .doc, .pdf, .xls, .ppt) in the database and retrieving through forms..
and also suggest me if there is any other ways to do it..
plz suggest me..

When I try to run a form I get a message of Jinitiator version too Low

I've run my first form of Oracle Forms on google chrome but I get the following message:
"FRM-92095; Oracle Jinitiator Version too Low. Please install version 1.1.8.2 or higher"
I can't understand.
From the control pannel of Windows XP I see "Jinitiator 1.3.1.22"
I use Forms 10.1.2 on Oracle vers. 10gXE
Thanks in advance!

The Oracle Jinitiator is not compatible with modern browsers. In fact, Oracle has discontinued Jinitiator and no longer supports it's use. Michael is right, you should install the latest Java 6 runtime (JRE 1.6.0_33) and use it instead of Jinitiator.
Since Oracle Forms 10g defaults to using the Jinitiator, you will need to modify your configuration to tell the Forms to use the JRE Plug-In (JPI) instead of Jinitiator. Take a look at Oracle 10gR2 Forms Services – Using Sun's Java Plug-in for information on how to update your configuration to use the JPI.
Hope this helps,

Calling BIP from Oracle Forms: Having Java version problem.

<h3>
Hi,
I tried to call a BIP report through Oracle Forms.
I followed this PDF.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/docs/Forms_BIP_v22.pdf
Problem is, when I run the form, I get this error (copied from the Java Console)

I am using Forms Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2.
JDeveloper Version is 10.1.3.5.0.
The Forms 10g Java version is 1.4.
So according to what I discovered on the net, the problem is: My JInitiator is 1.3 using JRE 1.3, BUT my .JAR file is Java 1.5.
Since we are using the Oracle JVM, ticking “Use JRE 1.5..” in the Advanced tab of the Internet Explorer Options has no effect.
We cannot upgrade the Oracle JInitiator to a 1.5 since there is no such JInitiator version. JInitiator is available only up to 1.3.1.30.
What can I do. What if I install Java 1.3 in my machine and re-compile my JAR file with that? Will that work or is there another solution?
Has anybody encountered this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
C.S.

Hi,
Yes, you need to compile your source files with JDK 1.3 (since JInit 1.3.x.x uses JDK 1.3).
Other solution would be to use JRE 1.5 (instead of JInitiator).
Check out [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=550563] on how to use JRE1.5

Hi
You dont need JInitiator, just downloading and installing either JRE or JDK 1.5 will be enough.
Another option might be to set the version you want to compile your classes against in JDeveloper. there is a setting in there to specify the java version you want to compile against.
So are you using the web services from BIP inside Forms?

Java plug-in. Java 1.4 or Jinitiator?

My office has had numerous issues with Java while running Discoverer over the years. I noticed, in the Enterprise Manager console, that I have 2 choices for the Java plug-in. Sun Java plug-in (1.4) (what we use now) and Oracle Jinitiator. Given the issues we have had with Java I am tempted to try Jinitiator. Does anyone know the risks/drawbacks to trying Jinitiator? I tried googling exactly what Jinitiator does (compared to just Java), but the results were not very helpful. There must be a reason why there is an option to use one or the other, but I'm uncertain of Jinitiator's purpose (and how it will affect my users' Discoverer experience).
Thanks!

Hi,
Oracle Jinitiator is based on JDK 1.3 (now long deprecated). It was an "enhanced" JRE to work with some specific features and coding with E-Business Suite forms. Discoverer also used it so that one could avoid JRE conflicts when using both E-BS Forms and the Discoverer Plus applet.
I'm not sure if you are using an E-Business Suite shop or nor.
The following documents might help you out:
Recommended Client Java Plug-in (JVM/JRE) For Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2) (Doc ID 465234.1)

http://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/2009/06/roundup_oracle_jinitiator_13_desupported_in_july_2.html
I would recommend sticking with Java and addressing any issues you have with Oracle.

Jinitiator or Sun java plug-in

I've been reading a lot of posts lately about jinitiator. From what I've been able to understand, it looks like jinitiator is going away and the sun java plug-in is what we should be using.
Is there a definitive statement concerning this issue and is there info on how to make the switch to Sun plug-in? What changes to formsweb.cfg, how to present a download/install page, any forms issues involved, etc. We're using the current version of 10g.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

It goes something like this.....
"Focus is lost on a multi window forms application if the user ALT-TAB's to another application and back. This is only an issue with SUN Java Plugin."
To reproduce.....
The requirements are to have SELECT access on ALL_TABLES and to have EXECUTE
access on DBMS_LOCK (because of a sleep of 5 seconds).
Have 2 Forms, Form A calls Form B (modal). Form A has a multi record block. Form B has a dbms_lock call in the exit_form trigger to delay exiting back to Forms A.
Have another Windows App open behind the form e.g. Notepad. Ensure that some
of Notepad is visible. Open Form A , call Form B (modal). In modal Form B, click Exit
Form - this takes 5 seconds to exit (due to dbms_lock sleep). While the hour glass is showing, click on the Notepad window, then click back on this form.
Once the modal form B is closed and focus has returned to this form, notice that "mouse navigation" is broken. The current record is highlighted but does not move when you click into a different record.
The mouse doesn't work anymore.
This is only an issue with Java Sun plugin. The Jinitiator version works (but gives a different error when you ALT TAB to another app and back again, the focus is lost in the field you were in).
Oracle have apparently raised a SR with SUN but there's no promises as to when and if it will get resolved. Meanwhile we're stuck with JInitiator.
If anyone has any ideas, please yell out !!

Forms 10gR2 printing issue with Java Plug-in 1.6.0_21

Hi All,
I replaced Jinitiator by Java Plug-in 1.6.0_21. I’m using forms 10gR2. I modified formsweb.cfg file and most of the other functionality work fine. I overwrote the default functionality of the menu item ‘Print Button’ by the following java script
*'File name :- print.html'*
<html>
<head>
<title>Print</title>
<style type="text/css">
font-family:"arial";
color: #303030;
</style>
</head>
<body onload="printsetup();">
<div style="border: 1px solid; padding:10px">
<div style="font-size:larger;text-decoration:bold;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:center">Print capture beginning. Please wait...</div>
<div style="text-align:center">(This window will close automatically.)</div>
</div>
<script>
function printform()
window.opener.print();
window.close();
function printsetup()
window.resizeTo(600,250);
var t=setTimeout("printform()",1000);
</script>
</body>
</html>
It was working fine with Jinitiator since I installed java sun I always receive the following error message
Line: 19
Char: 1
Error: 'window.opener' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: http://localhost.domain:port/forms/webutil/start/print.html.
Thanks & Regards,
Walid

The problem you are both reporting is unclear. If I understand at all what you are doing, it would seem that you are calling window.opener, but the window has no name. In newer browser versions (I believe IE 7 and newer) what I think you are trying to do won't work anymore. Take a look at this:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/paulomorgado/archive/2007/11/02/how-to-close-browser-windows-in-windows-internet-explorer-7.aspx
Also check out MyOracleSupport Note 865745.1
The example in the note has been tested with Forms 10.1.2.3 and 11.1.1.4 using 1.6.0_23 in IE8 and FF3.6 and appears to work correctly.

Sun Java Plug-in with Developer forms 10.1.2.0.2

Someone ask me (here at my work) if we can switch between JInitiator to Sun Java Plug-in.
I am not sure about Sun Java Plug-in implementation or even more, I don't have any documentation about it.
Is these possible?
We can use our web application through the internet using Sun Java Plug-in instead of JInitiator?
How can I setup to do that?
thanks a lot.

HI people:
I have a wear behavior in my web application using Java Plug-in.
Let me put my environment straight:
1. iDS 10g Rel. 10.1.2.x
2. OC4J Enbedded on iDS
3. Webutil 1.0.6
Problem:
I can test one module at time, and they works just fine, without any problem or error or bad behavior.
But, if I access my complete application, which has menu, modules, reports, etc. It has some wear and strange behavior. If I try to move to any item on any module with the mouse it can be possible.
I don't really know which are the problem with this behaivor but these issues occur as soon as I connect to the application. The main module is a log in screen. It works fin, let me move with the mouse or with the keyboard. But after write the user, password and string info and press the connect button, the behavior change.
It doesn't matter which module I access, I can't move or use my mouse to execute any operation on any module.
The only moves I can do is press the button bar or the menu options associated with the main module.
Does anybody has an idea of these wear behavior.
I need help ASAP.
Thanks in advanced.

Thank you for your reply. I was reading on the metalink that we could use the to call the java script from oracle Forms 10g (Doc ID 265863.1)
Example:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:void(window.open("http://www.oracle.com","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,"));self.close()','_blank');
I tried it but it did not open the any window as it claims. Am I missing anything? Is there any IE related setting which I need to modify for the above to work?
