Forms90-demo not working on client, what should be done? urgent please

Question

I have installed forms90 demo & it is working fine on the middle tier, but when invoked from the client browser the applet just stops initializing & does not start.
Could any one throw light as what action will make the demo work on client machine

Answer 1

The problem is probablty due to the Signed JAR files the demo uses - when you install the Demo, these certificates are imported onto that machines JInitiator automatically (that's why the install prompts you for the location of JInit.)
To solve your problem of running on another machine I need to make a slight change to the Demo scripts and template files but for now you can use the following W/A
Create a simple form - say one button and no logon call it test.fmx.
Create a config for that form in the Forms90demo.cfg like this:
[test]
form=test.fmx
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar
Run that config using the url
http://machine:8888/forms90demo/f90servlet?config=test
Exit that Form - then in the SAME Browser Window run the Demos
http://machine:8888/forms90demo/demo90.html
When you run one of the demos a Dialog should pop up asking you to trust a certificate. Trust always and then that should solve the problem.
In future you can just run the demos directly - no need to run the test app first.
