How to configure 9i Forms Services Demo Manually

Question

Hi,
I want to customize the forms services demo and run from my own configuration file i mean instead of forms90demo.cfg file i want to create my own cfg file and run the forms how to do this?
for example currently to run a demo i need to give the url as
http://machine:8888/forms90demo/f90servlet?config=xxx
i want it as
http://machine:8888/<myconfigname>/f90servlet?config=xxx
how to manually configure the demo? to run in a customized way
Plus will this demo run on Unix? and how to configure in Unix?
All the above questions for 9i DS, coming to 9iAS how to configure/install on Windows and Unix?

Do the following to select an own config file for the f90demo:
- Open file web.xml
(in: oracle_home\forms90\demos\j2ee\forms90demo\
forms90demo\WEB-INF)
- specify your configuration file name between tags
<param-value> and </param-value>
(under <param-name> configFileName</param-name>)
Do not forget to <!-- and --> tags around this
<init-param> section.
- Do not use "" around the filename.
You can also copy the whole <servlet> ... </servlet> section of f90servlet, and give a new servlet name (e.g. f90demo instead of f90servlet). From then on you can use f90demo as a servlet. You must, before you can use this new servlet alias, also make a copy of the servlet-mapping section for this alias.
Servlet aliasses are a perfect way to make configurations in two dimensions, one using config sections in the config file (e.g. for different applications), the other using servlet aliasses in web.xml (e.g. different environments, such as dev and prod).
