Re: Unable to Run forms in Web Environment....

Question

Hi Everybody,
My current environment:
1. Windows NT Server 4.0 (Service Pack 3)
2. Oracle8 V8.0.4
3. Oracle Web App Server 4.0.5 CR
4. Oracle Developer 6.0
All of the above have been installed on the same machine.
Developer 6.0 has been installed on a separate Oracle Home
directory and the rest (Db and WAS) resides in one Home.
Problem:
I have tried both, cartridge and non-cartridge implementation,
but failed to run web forms.
My Browser starts up, initializes all class files and finally
states "Applet Started", but after that I see no UI. (this is
during Non-Cartridge Implementation).
With Cartridge Implementation, I get "Internal Error, Please Try
Again"
Another vague thing, if I set the "CLASSPATH" and
"FORMS60_JAVADIR", and open the form in the designer and hit
"Runform Web", it works.
If set the CLASSPATH and leave it, then I am unable to use
OASMGR from the browser (applet for the navigator fails).
If I unset it, then oasmgr works fine.
Finally, If someone can give me the right environment of Web
Forms, in terms of the versions of the Oracle Software and the
configuration (Home Dir's), plus some sample settings for
Virtual directory mappings for WAS or Web Cartridge settings, I
would really really really really appreciate.
One more request, Do we need use JINITIATOR 1.1.5.3 for Dev 6.0 ?
(I tried using as well as not using, but does not help me in
deployment).
Thanks in advance,
Bala.

Bala,
we just did a demo with a 33K Modem and Dev 6, OAS 4.0.7,... all
on the same machine and this is really eating up resources
(mostly memory). The startup time is horrible but one thing is
the server machine, another is the tuning by creating your own
jar files which is really necessary. Somewhere I read about
problems with caching the jar files so they are loading the jar
files again and again. So right now we are more experimenting
with Oracle's Web Form than developping.
There are a lot of bugs from Forms 5 (Web) which should be fixed
in Dev 6 production. IMHO they are not doing any fixes on Forms
5 anymore because Forms 6 will be an Oracle Applications release
but Forms 5 isn't.
Personally I will drive my company not to develop any new
project in Forms 5 only in Forms 6.
