Sun Java Plug-in - Java Version

Hi. We are using the Sun Java Plug-in configuration and I've noticed that when first-time user click on my URL that Forms is requiring that they download Java v. 1.4. How is this controlled? What if I want user to be using a different version like v. 1.6? Can I control this?
Also, how is Forms finding that v. 1.4 is installed on my user's computers after they complete the installation of v. 1.4? From DOS, if I issue the 'java -version' command it still returns their previous version?
Thanks in advance.

Sun's plug-in is the future. Oracle made JInitiator because at the time we needed to release Forms for the web, Sun's plugin was not up to par. It now is very much so. There are two major versions after 1.4 so you should look into using 1.6 of the plug-in.
JInitiator is not going to be supported with upcoming Forms v11. You will need to go to Sun's plug-in if you upgrade. Version 10.1.2 will be supported for 18 months after 11 comes out so you need to upgrade the Java plug-in within roughly 2 years anyway. The upgrade from Client/Server can be somewhat time consuming if you have client/server only functionality (see the Forms Upgrade Center for resources: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html). The upgrade from 10.1.2 to 11 should just entail a recompile of the FMB filies.

Using several Sun Java Versions parallel

I want to use several Sun Java Version parallel - is this possible and if yes how can I set this. I want to use for one program / or one website (like www.0815.com) the version 1.4.2_06 and for an other program / or website (like www.sample.com) the version 1.3.2_06 ?
The problem is that we are using a terminal server application (3rd party) what is running better with the 1.3.2_06 and we are using an web based software which must use the 1.4.2_06 - I only know how I set one of this as an standard but not using one for this and another for this.

Sun Java Version Mgmt, Which Version, Deployment Methods

All,
We are preparing to deploy the Enterprise Portal NW04s (7.0). We've realized that we have many different versions of Sun/Microsoft Java deployed around the organization. I'm looking for advice around a few questions.
1. Which version of Sun Java should we standardize on? We're assuming the latest which is 1.6.0_03.
2. How have other organizations deployed this? Batch scripts, logon scripts?? We do NOT have SMS or other deployment tools.
3. Is there a way to auto detect when launching the portal if someone has the right java JRE and if not to prompt them for an upgrade?
Thanks very much, any assistance is appreciated.

JVM of end users should not create trouble. Any JVM should do good in most cases. For portal users, browser version matters the most.
The best place to find the information you need is the platform availability matrix.

What is the correct Sun Java version for Plus ?

OK so I am running Version 1.4.2_06 (build 1.4.2_06-b03) for Disco Plus.. Is that the correct version ? I am trying to debug an error (Outstanding Refresh) and I need to eliminate the Java version being the cause:
Can anyone confirm ? thanks OBX
OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.1)
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.48.18)
Discoverer Model - 10.1.2.48.18
Discoverer Server - 10.1.2.48.18
End User Layer - 5.1.1.0.0.0
End User Layer Library - 10.1.2.48.18
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bi

Hi OBX
Yes that is the correct version, at least that's the one that comes out of the box. You can upgrade to later versions but you have to do this both on the server and on the client. One thing that you must not do is allow the client machines to upgrade when the server is still on 1.4.2_06
I hope this helps
Best wishes

Compatibilty Between SUN Java and IBM Java

Hello all,
This is my 1st post in this Forum.
I build a Desktop application compiling my project with IBM J9 VM (build 2.3, J2RE 1.5.0 IBM J9 2.3 Linux Java.
The application runs on a windows pc that has the SUN Java version 1.5 installed, but it does not run on a pc that has the SUN Java version 1.6 installed.
I assume that there is a compatibility issue. Could it be the case that :
IBM Java Version 1.5 is only compatible with SUN Java 1.5 ?
Thanks,
Helen

You'll need to check the IBM site for a bug reports, I doubt Sun is going to be concered with a bug in IBM's implementation.

Sun Java Plug-in Required Installing the Sun Java Plug-in, version 1.6.0_19

Hi,
am new to this thread, excuse if any issues in posting,
my pblm is am running my application,
Sun Java Plug-in Required
The Sun Java Plug-in must be installed on your local machine in order to run this workbench. The Sun Java Plug-in can be downloaded from the following directory:
/dsworkbench/clientinstall
Please contact your system administrator to verify the location of the client installations.
Installing the Sun Java Plug-in, version 1.6.0_19
The Sun Java Plug-in is required to run the WebLogic version of this workbench. To install:
Download the file jre-6u19-windows-i586.exe and execute it.
On the license terms screen, select Custom setup and click Accept.
If you want to change the default installation directory, click Change and specify a different directory. Once the installation directory is set, click Next.
Click Next to accept the default browser registrations.
Disabling Auto-Update Capability
By default, the Java Control Panel is configured to automatically download and update to newer releases of the Java Plug-in as they become unavailable.
It is advisable to turn off this feature so that compatibility between the Java Plug-in and the workbench is maintained. To turn off automatic updates:
Open the Windows Control Panel, and click Java. The Java Control Panel displays.
Click the Update tab.
Under the Update Notification area, deselect Check for Updates Automatically.
"Java Update - Warning" dialog box displays. Click Never Check.
Click OK to save and then close the Java Control Panel.I have done the same and I restarted browser and my machine, and when I relogined to the application still the same message is appearing,
I don't know if I need to set the environment path, but I have done it. any pointers will be helpful

This tends to be a 32 bits / 64 bits problem. The runtime must match the architecture of the browser you're using; so if it is a 64 bits browser, you MUST have a 64 bits runtime. If it is a 32 bits browser you MUST have a 32 bits runtime. You can install both and cover all cases.

Jinitiator or Sun java plug-in

I've been reading a lot of posts lately about jinitiator. From what I've been able to understand, it looks like jinitiator is going away and the sun java plug-in is what we should be using.
Is there a definitive statement concerning this issue and is there info on how to make the switch to Sun plug-in? What changes to formsweb.cfg, how to present a download/install page, any forms issues involved, etc. We're using the current version of 10g.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

It goes something like this.....
"Focus is lost on a multi window forms application if the user ALT-TAB's to another application and back. This is only an issue with SUN Java Plugin."
To reproduce.....
The requirements are to have SELECT access on ALL_TABLES and to have EXECUTE
access on DBMS_LOCK (because of a sleep of 5 seconds).
Have 2 Forms, Form A calls Form B (modal). Form A has a multi record block. Form B has a dbms_lock call in the exit_form trigger to delay exiting back to Forms A.
Have another Windows App open behind the form e.g. Notepad. Ensure that some
of Notepad is visible. Open Form A , call Form B (modal). In modal Form B, click Exit
Form - this takes 5 seconds to exit (due to dbms_lock sleep). While the hour glass is showing, click on the Notepad window, then click back on this form.
Once the modal form B is closed and focus has returned to this form, notice that "mouse navigation" is broken. The current record is highlighted but does not move when you click into a different record.
The mouse doesn't work anymore.
This is only an issue with Java Sun plugin. The Jinitiator version works (but gives a different error when you ALT TAB to another app and back again, the focus is lost in the field you were in).
Oracle have apparently raised a SR with SUN but there's no promises as to when and if it will get resolved. Meanwhile we're stuck with JInitiator.
If anyone has any ideas, please yell out !!

WEBUTIL and Sun Java Plug-In

Hello friends:
how can I setup my formsweb.cfg to use Sun Java Plug-In (instead of JInitiator) and WEBUTIL?
I tried all I can but still send me the same error when I try to use some of its functionalities:
oracle.forms.webutil.fileTransfer.FileTransfer bean not found. Webutil_file_trnasfer.getmaxtransfer will not work.
This errors happens no matter which webutil function or procedure am I using.
Does anybody know which is the cause of the problem or have some example to config my formsweb.cfg for Sun Java Plug-In and WEBUTIL.
Thanks so much
Abdel

Error With SCORM Content W Latest Version of Sun Java (1.6.0_10)

We're getting an error with users running the more recent version of Sun Java 1.6.0_10, but not with previous versions. This happens for all our SCORM content.
The Java logs are showing a lot of data, but the main symptoms seem to be:
network: CrossDomainXML: connection to host <our LMS server address> denied
LMS Error: 304 - Security exception
and
Error stack trace:
oracle.apps.ota.lms.LMSException: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission <our LMS server address> connect,resolve)
and
Returned: "false"
*** LMSGetLastError() [Thu Oct 09 10:56:35 EDT 2008]
Returned: "304"
*** LMSGetErrorString("304") [Thu Oct 09 10:56:35 EDT 2008]
Returned: "Security exception"
Our crossdomain.xml fille is configured correctly, and also previous versions of JRE are not having the problem (the Java logs look clean).
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks.

Hi All
Got a similar issue with the tracking / bookmarking of sessions - when on sun Java update 7 all is well however when update 10 or 11 is installed then SCROM session start on page 1 not the page you were on, also as expected they do not get marked as complete.
Two things happen
1) A small window is left for - [http://riti04.cornwall.nhs.uk:7780/ilearn/en/learner/jsp/relogin.jsp] - URL
2) We get an Error on page - [http://riti04.cornwall.nhs.uk:7780/ilearn/en/learner/jsp/lms.jsp] - URL
Looked for the Plugin section as per a pervious within the Java Control panel - but I'm not seeing it.
We use iLearn 5.0 and I am begining to think we need a patch but unsure which.
Thanks

Webutil and Sun Java plug-in 1.4.1

Hello,
When trying to use webutil with Sun Java plug-in, the downloading of the dll files from the AS fails. I am using a named config =jpi2, so my URL for starting the application looks like this:
http://myappserver.my.domain/forms90/f90?config=jpi2
The output from the console trace is like this:
WUT[downloadFromURL()] Source is http://myappserver.my.domain/forms90/f90?config=jpi2webutil/d2kwut60.dll.
When using Jinitiator it works just fine. Is it because of Sun plug-in, or webutil?
/cheers

Hi,
Yes I created a new template with two applet referenses.
I did find a workaround though. I commented out the dll's from the webutil.cfg, since I guess I will not be needing theese for my purposes, ie fileupload/download and clientinfo. Is that correct? It is working now with the dll's commented out, it will not try to download..

Sun Java Plug-in with Developer forms 10.1.2.0.2

Someone ask me (here at my work) if we can switch between JInitiator to Sun Java Plug-in.
I am not sure about Sun Java Plug-in implementation or even more, I don't have any documentation about it.
Is these possible?
We can use our web application through the internet using Sun Java Plug-in instead of JInitiator?
How can I setup to do that?
thanks a lot.

HI people:
I have a wear behavior in my web application using Java Plug-in.
Let me put my environment straight:
1. iDS 10g Rel. 10.1.2.x
2. OC4J Enbedded on iDS
3. Webutil 1.0.6
Problem:
I can test one module at time, and they works just fine, without any problem or error or bad behavior.
But, if I access my complete application, which has menu, modules, reports, etc. It has some wear and strange behavior. If I try to move to any item on any module with the mouse it can be possible.
I don't really know which are the problem with this behaivor but these issues occur as soon as I connect to the application. The main module is a log in screen. It works fin, let me move with the mouse or with the keyboard. But after write the user, password and string info and press the connect button, the behavior change.
It doesn't matter which module I access, I can't move or use my mouse to execute any operation on any module.
The only moves I can do is press the button bar or the menu options associated with the main module.
Does anybody has an idea of these wear behavior.
I need help ASAP.
Thanks in advanced.

Problem with starting Sun ONE Server after changing Java version

Hi
I installed Sun ONE Java Server 6.1 SP6 on Redhat Enterprise 4.0 64bit. This version uses java version "1.4.2_04" which is intalled in /opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/https/jdk. With this configuration everything works ok. When I changed Java (/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_09) on version "1.5.0_09 (in server.xml) Sun One doesn't start. I have such error:
CORE3170: Configuration initialization failed: Error running init function load-modules: dlopen of /opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/https/lib/libj2eeplugin.so failed (libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
I checked file libjvm.so and it is in locations: /opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/https/lib/ and /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_09/jre/lib/amd64/server.
Does anybody know what is wrong ???
Thanks for help

Access certificate from a DoD CAC card with Sun Java 1.4.2 Plug-in

We are using CAC cards with ActivCard Software. We are using Sun Java JVM 1.4.2 with Internet Explorer. The problem is that Sun Java does not use the certificate in the browser certificate store for HTTPS client authentication.
The solution from Sun is to export the certificate as a PKCS12 format and add 3 parameters to the Java Plug-in. The parameters are
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=<client_keystore_file_path>
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=<password to access the client keystore file>
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=<keystore_type>
Exporting the certificate from the CAC card is not an option for us.
This is a big problem for us. Does anyone have any ideas on a way to get the Java Plug-in to access the CAC card without having to export the certificate?

You could use JVM 1.3.X because it uses SSL from the Internet Explorer, not the JSSE SSL.
Apart of this, you could see if the implementation of PKCS#11 for the forthcoming J2SDK 1.5 works with your card AND if JSSE can use the PKCS#11 Sun Provider. Download the beta and try it.
