Host a custom form on E-Business Suite Forms Servlet

Question

Hi.
Is it possible to host my own form using the Forms engine integrated with E-Business Suite?. is this a good idea? or do i have to setup another forms servlet?
I'm trying it with one form with a menu. I just Copied the mmx files and fmx files where all the fmx files of EBS suite reside. or do i need to recompile it inside linux forms compiler (adadmin) using .pll plx, fmb files?
I manually type the url "domainname.com:8000/dev60cgi/f60cgi?formname.mmx?user=username?password=password"
where user, password = database user (not apps user)
when i did this, it still launched the applet but still goes to the main form of EBS? and the custom form doesn't get called..
regards,
anton

I think you can do it.
Should look in appsweb.cfg configuration file. usaually in $COMMON_TOP/html/bin
; 1) Runform Arguments
; The module argument defines the first form to be started.
; It is composed from parameters %prodTop%/forms/%lang%/%formName%
; The default looks like $APPL_TOP/fnd/<version>/forms/US/FNDSCSGN
; Following parameters and prodTop are used for composing module.
; Note: Personal Home Page modifies the lang setting automatically.
formName=FNDSCSGN
lang=US
Forms servlet is just a mechanism to start the f60webmx processes on the application server (which also has the Forms listener servlet). So you will not need a seperate servlet in your case.
