Grant...can you also tell us if you expect to release a pre-904 webutil release?
And where can we log errors about webutil beta, since it's not officially supported? I'd like to log a bug named in a previous post of me: webutil: webutil_file.file_open_dialog with filter doesn't work as expected

The Forms Product Management team are please to announce our new Forms Sample Code/Demo page
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/forms/content.html
We have included demos and sample code for topics which generate alot of questions on OTN.
For example,
When deploying Forms on the web, how can I load files from the client machine?
How do I call Java from Forms?
The new features of Oracle9i Forms
Can I add spell checking to my Forms application?
These demos are created by the Product Managers to show you, not only the features, but the steps involved to do it yourself.
It's like having your own tutorial from the Forms Product Managers!!!
We hope this helps and as always, please let us know if you have any comments.

From Forms Product Management - New Reports Integration White Paper
I've posted a new white paper on OTN which explains how to call Reports with a parameter from Forms Services using the Forms RUN_REPORT_OBJECT Built-in.
We have also included a sample Java Bean which allows the userid parameter to be stored in a cookie.
To download the paper, go to http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms , its the top news item.

Grant Ronald
Forms Product ManagementBrian,
there are four possible reasons why this could happen
1. you didn't specify the correct domain. A wrong domain makes the cookie not accessible for the Reports Server
2. The Reports Server is in another timezone than the Forms Client. This way the default validity of teh cookie is exceeded to the time you request the cookie. If this is the case, add the offset to the max age value
3. You change dthe encryption key either on the Reports Server or the cookie client.Default value is reports9i for Oracle9i Reports.
4. - unlikely - you try to run this solution iwth Forms and Reports 6i. This doesn't work.

From Forms Product Management - New Forms/Reports install option
Oracle Product Management are pleased to announce the release of Forms/Reports Services only download and install option of Oracle Application Server 10g.
This provides an option to the EE to install those components related only to running Forms and Reports.
To download please go to http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/ and please feel free to post any comments.
Regards
Grant Ronald
Forms Product ManagementI did create a posting on OTN almost a year ago asking if/when 9iAS light version (forms/reports/graphs only) will be available at a reduced cost.
Oracle now announced (and also proved my claims that it was not a technical but marketing decision not to make forms/reports part of iAS a separate product) the separate download/install option for forms/reports services.
My original posting attracked more than 100 folks (including Shay, Frank and Grant) but was not fruitful to convince Oracle to make forms/reports services a separate product targeted for the small companies, who might not need/use the rest of the 9iAS framework. I believe, seeing one side of the coin and enforcing your opinion by ignoring the cry of many others (including many ODTUG members) is not a wise solution for your existing small business and niche market (using Oracle db and tools for very specific purposes such as simulations, etc on intranets - and operating under strict security protocols not to open up to internet) customers.
Grant and Shay repeatedly wrote on this forum and presented via whitepapers, etc. that forms/reports services are not fading away and it is a complementary solution to JDeveloper and emphasized that JDeveloper is not the replacement of forms/reports services. This news was very good for existing forms/reports developers.
Given that forms/reports services is now separately available, why not making Forms/Reports Designer and Forms/Reports services (only) part of iAS a separate product? as Oracle did the very same with JDeveloper?

From Forms Product Management - Daily Features - Forms
We have a feature running on the Front page of OTN which, each day, will talk about a feaure of iDS. We have a number which cover Forms; today there is a note on extending the Forms UI.
http://otn/products/ids/daily/9iDS.html
Its worth checking this out each day.
Regards
Grant Ronald
Forms Product ManagementThats great news that you have got this down to a more acceptable level. Now onto the question about the initial download. There is a file called f60all.jar which is about 1.4Mb which is all the class files you need. However, we do supply some other JAR files which hold a subset of the classes. What you can do is choose to download one of these first and as other classes are needed the other jar files are downloaded on demand. This means you are still downloading about 1.4Mb but its split over about 3 or four dounwloads.
As I mentioned before in my posting, its these class files that give the application its rich Java UI. You can pre install them on each machine but to be honest that kind of defeats the purpose of a web deployed app (centrally managed). And anyway, these classes are cached so any time you run another forms application you use the cached version.
Let me know if you need any more information. I know there are situations when a JSP/HTML maybe better suited than a Forms app but I want to make sure you can make a decision with knowledge of all the relevant facts.

From Forms Product Management - XP Support
As you know, Oracle is committed to Oracle Forms and is focusing its development, testing and certification resources on Oracle9i Forms, the latest release of the product, part of Oracle9i Application Server. Therefore, the certification of previous version of Oracle Forms (Forms 6i Client/Server) was not planned on recent versions of the Windows operating systems (Windows XP).
Given the feedback we received about this announcement from various user forums and from direct discussions with customers, we have undergone a review of our policy. This has primarily taken into account business cases provided by customers and partners, supporting the case for XP certification. As a result, we are now of the opinion, that even though many organizations have already scheduled their upgrade to Oracle9i Forms, the support and certification of Windows XP for Forms 6i Client/Server deployment appears, in the short term, to be necessary to ease the transition towards this upgrade.
As such, Oracle Forms 6i with Patchset 13 (6.0.8.22) and above will be certified for Client/Server deployment on Windows XP Professional. Windows XP will be the final major Windows operating system that Oracle will certify for Forms 6i Client/Server deployment. Of course, Oracle9i Forms Developer and the Oracle9i Forms Client (web based deployment) will continue to evolve and be certified on new operating systems as they are released.
Regards
Grant Ronald
Forms Product ManagementThanks Grant. I understand the part that Developer 6i Patch 13 is certified for client/server (builder and runtime) deployment on Windows XP. But, can you clarify on that if Developer 6i Patch 13 both Forms and Report runtime is deployed against 8.0.x, will this be certified? Does database version is 8.0.5 make any difference on whether certification is still in effect?
Thanks,

From Forms Product Management - Success of Oracle Forms
The Forms Product Management team are pleased to announce we have posted a new paper on OTN which tells you
about the success of Oracle Forms.
If you want to find out who is using Forms, the kind of applications that are best targetted by Forms, and what is the future
of Oracle Forms then please go to:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/Forms_Success/forms_success.html
As, always, we welcome your feedback.

Forms Product ManagementOracle Forms is quit impressive as both a client/server and web-based solution. I have yet to see an application run over the web the way Oracle Forms does. It appears as a client/server application, except it's completely web-based.
That's quite amazing, however, I have found that the rich interface and the sophistication of running Forms over the web comes with a big cost. The 8MB Jinitiator download turns a lot of people off.
What I'm really wondering is if there is anyone out there who is using Oracle Forms as a web solution ?
Thanks for your time.

Announcement from Forms Product Management
We often get asked about "real" customers who are deploying "real" Forms applications. In order to give you some examples,
we have a customer testimonials page which documents their success with Forms.
For example, on the Forms OTN page we have highlighted Metro who have gone live with 4,000 concurrent Forms users.
