Upgrade to patchset 3 10.1.2.3 from 10.1.2.0.2 causes Java errors

Question

Hi all,
I upgraded our app server and then did the frmwebutil change as per the document, but now if i try and open any form, the form does not open, the system crashes and my java console contains the following error. Anyone any ideas?
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-3" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.forms.handler.IHandler.getApplet()Ljava/applet/Applet;

I double checked and the forms/java frmwebutil is the one that was in the patch directory so should be right??
Any ideas?

Hi There,
Would you tell us your oracle application server environment?
We have it running in a windows 2003 server.
Please tell how you apply oracleAS 1og patchset 3? no step by step, just briefly where and what you start apply to the end.
We had a fully operational Application server and seperate database set up using app server 10.1.2.0.2.
Downloaded patchset 10.1.2.3 from metalink. Patched using universal installer. grabbed the frmwebutil from within the patch and replaced the existing frmwebutil.jar within the Java folder.
What version of webutil configured?
Within the frmwebutil it says webutil2.2 but acording to the java console it says
RegisterWebUtil - Loading WebUtil Version 10.1.2.3
Any changes on webtuil jar files after applied patchset 3?
no
We have another JAR that we load into the system with PJC's and the link (all picked up direct from Oracle, we do no programming of java ourselves) and it appers this is the problematic area. If i miss out this JAR the system loads successfully.
But when i investigated furthur and reiewed the error above it mentions FRMReportsInteg which was something we got to allow us to do web show document, so surely this must work within 10.1.2.3???
Thanks
