FORMS - WEB DEPLOYMENT - NEED HELP -

Question

Hi
We have developed some forms using Forms 6.0 on Win NT and now
wish to deploy that on Web. We have installed Developer Server
(For Forms, Reports and Graphics) in one of our UNIX boxes.
What steps are needed to get the Forms run on our Intranet as
HTML documents?
Thanks for reply in advance

Hi Karthi,
Forms is not a HTML web deployment. The deployment is based on
generic Applets. This means that we are transferring the UI to a
browser by simply replacing Motif (in your case) with Java on the
server side. If you want to deploy a Forma application in the web
just create s static HTML file (example files can be viewed after
installing JInitiator) with a reference to your Forms Module that
you use as a starting point. Start the Forms Server on the
command shell with f60ctl start port=9000 (if yiou want to use
port 9000). Via the web you access the Forms Server by calling
the static HTML File. In this HTML there is a request for the
Forms Listener.
Hope this short answer will give you a hint.
