Hi Carlota,
Now that the WebLogic and OHS environments are functional, there are some configurations that will be required to set up your Forms environment. Before deploying your own 11g forms, I would test to see if Oracle's test form (test.fmx) can run which is deployed by default in %ORACLE_HOME%\forms. What is supposed to happen is that when you run the URL you are using, Oracle Forms will:
1. Attempt to download the Java Runtime if not installed already. A Java Runtime (JRE) is required to run Oracle Forms 11gR2. The application will try to download the JRE specified in the formsweb.cfg file (sets up the Web environment for Forms) based off the jpi_codebase parameter (if using IE) or jpi_mimetype (if using other supported browsers). Make sure that your browser is able to download the JRE. Alternatively, you may also download a JRE from the Java website http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. NOTE: Unless you are running Internet Explorer 64-bit (if you simply run Internet Explorer, this is 32-bit), I would download the 32-bit JRE.
2. Attempt to start the test.fmx form deployed in the FORMS_PATH variable. This variable is set in default.env, which is the standard environment variable deployment file for Forms (formsweb.cfg also references this file in the default section). If successful, you should receive a page saying "Installed successfully" as well as show you the version of Oracle Forms you are running (ex. 11.1.2.1.0).
Once those tests are work, if you need any assistance with deploying your own 11g forms, the Oracle Forms 11gR2 deployment guide provides a great source of information to help you get started: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24477/toc.htm
