Windows Vista - "JInitiator" Vs "Sun JRE"

Hi folks
we are using Oracle 10g AS. For the client end, we were using Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.22 without any issues for the client OS Windows 2000, XP.
When the same application was accessed from Vista with JInitiator 1.3.1.22 - IE 7 got closed automatically. Then problem was overcomed when IE 7 replaced with Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 or higher. But, when we installed Java standard edition J2SE JRE for running other Java based applications, then this application is not working with firefox because of the JRE installed.
Latercase, we have configured the Oracle 10g AS for running the application with J2SE JRE at client system. Then it was possible that other Java applications as well as our application can be accessed with J2SE JRE with IE 7 in client system (vista OS), for few weeks only. Now, in the same system, when we access the application with J2SE JRE, it takes 3 mins open a form from the main screen.
But if we remove J2SE JRE and install JInitiator 1.3.1.22 and connect the application with Mozilla Firefox, the application works fine and opens the screen in 3-5 secs.
Summary:
1) Is it possible to use both JInitiator & J2SE JRE together in Vista for running Java based applications & Oracle 10g Applications?
2) Why is the difference, when the same application opened with JInitiator takes 3-5 secs to open a form, but J2SE JRE takes 3 mins for the same action?
Please help.

Cacert diff on Jinitiator Vs Sun JRE 1.6.0_13

Hi All,
We are having E Business suite 11.5.10.2 with SSL enabled.
We have migrated from Jinitiator to sun JRE 1.6.0_13.
When we were using the Jinitiator, if we dont have the server cert in place at the "C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.29\lib\security\certdb.txt" at the client manching, forms will not launch. So we will place the server cert of all the instances in this location.
After migrating to sun JRE 1.6.0_13, we are not placing the cert file any where in the client machine. But the forms are launching without any issues. Please confirm is this is the correct behaviour or we are missing any thing in this.
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh

Compatible Jinitiator for Windows Vista

HI,
I bought a new laptop with Vista OS,and i am not able to run Oracle applications on it.When i try to open applications using remote login/password , internet explorer/Mozilla/real player shutting down automatically though it download jinitiator.Is there any Jinitiator Compatible for windows vista?

Three answers
1. This is a database forum and not an apps forum.
2. You can check the certification matrix on metalink or Steven Chan's blog http://blogs.oracle.com/schan would be a good bookmark to make - http://blogs.oracle.com/schan/2007/03/19#a1301 is directly relevant
3. You are unlikely ever to get Jinitiator to work on Vista, but you likely will be able to get an appropriate sun JRE to work. This requires work from your apps dba - I know I am one.

JRE v 1.6.0_21 on Windows XP and Windows Vista

I run an applet on JRE v 1.6.0_21 on Windows XP and Windows Vista, and it behaves differently on these 2 platforms. There is a servlet that sends date information using java.sql.date and the applet that receives these dates casts the date into java.util.date. (That can be corrected, and I just want to know if there are others who might be experiencing this behavior.)
On Windows XP with Internet Explorer v7, the date is displayed correctly by the applet. With Vista and Internet Explorer v7, the date displayed is one day before. My theory is in Vista the date with 0000 timestamp is considered the day before, while in XP a date with timestamp (all zeroes) is displayed as that date. When does a new day start - is it exactly at break of midnight, or a split second later? Seems like one would get 2 different answers from Vista and XP. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Appears to me like this issue is related to:
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5353667
My Windows XP box shows timezone = America/New_York while my Windows Vista shows timezone = GMT-05:00 with 'Automatically adjust clock for DST' already checked. Should be the same right? Possible that JRE is not reading the adjust clock for DST setting?
On Vista, when I set -Duser.timezone=America/New_York for the JRE settings in Java Control Panel, the applet behaves as I expected. Thanks.

Jinitiator 1.3.1.18 don't start in Windows VISTA

Jinitiator 1.3.1.18 don't start in Windows VISTA!!!
What can i do??
Thank

Using JInitiator under Vista is not recommended, you should switch to the Sun plugin. Vista will be certified in the upcoming patch 3 for 10.1.2 of Forms when using the Sun 1.5 plugin.
See the Client Platform document
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html
Quote:
"JInitiator is known to not work with Vista and Sun is not planning to support 1.3 on Vista. Oracle therefore have no plans to certify JInitiator with Vista."

JRE bug or Windows Vista error?

Hi everybody. I have a problem with the report generation. I'm using HSQLDB 1.8 as dbms. I am using Hibernate too but I am using a JDBC connection for the reports. I designed some reports with iReport 4.0. I have two types of reports in my application, the first type prints invoices and the second type prints sales reports.
For the second type I need to include dates (using this notation '2011-1-1') in the WHERE statement. This kind of reports produces an exception but not the first type. This is the message when I request a sales report (I deleted some lines):

I tested this query in the HSQLDB utility and it is correct. I am thinking that the problem could be the JRE, I am using this one:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin>java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
As you can see, my Windows Vista pc can't recognize the java command so I have to call it specifically from the directory where it is located. Maybe the problem is that I am using Windows Vista (I know it sucks but I had no time to change it).
When I copy my program to my Windows XP computer it works fine. All the reports are shown correctly. This pc has this JRE:
C:\Documents and Settings\Manuel & Juancho>java -version
java version "1.6.0_01"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_01-b06, mixed mode, sharing)
There is no problem to recognize the java command.
Let me tell you something. Is it possible that HSQLDB or iReport can delete the database content? It happened to me. I was designing my last report and a "No pages in document" message was shown. I thought that I was wrong. Finally I checked the database and there was no data! What is the problem?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

I tested this query in the HSQLDB utility and it is correct. I am thinking that the problem could be the JREAs already pointed out, for something so trivial, it's extremely unlikely that you've uncovered a JRE bug.
As you can see, my Windows Vista pc can't recognize the java command Because you haven't set up your PATH correctly.

Distribution of Java JRE on Windows Vista Ultimate x64

The automatic update of the Java JRE on my Windows Vista Ultimate x64 system often comes up saying a new update is available but then as soon as I go ahead to install it, the update tells me that the particular version of the JRE is already installed.
How can this automatic update bug for new JRE installations be fixed.

Uninstall the software cleanly via the "Add or Remove programs" panel, then run another install. The breakdown is in the licensing system, not the application itself. Do not run the clean scripts until you have attempted this. If it still fails, then indeed a call to Adobe tech might do wonders...

Oracle jinitiator for Windows Vista

Hi All,
Is oracle jinitiator 1.3.1.25 compatible to Windows Vista? We have Oracle E-Business Suite 11i (11.5.10). Whenever we access the application, in Windows XP, Internet Explorer 6 or 7, the oracle jinitiator launch without any problem.
Now we have user using Windows Vista and whenever he open the Ebusiness Suite application, he can Log-In though but if he clicks any module and the jinitiator starts to launch, the application gets closed.
Is the initiator caused the problem? Is there any setup that we need to do first?
Thanks,
Jay A

Unable to install JRE 6u24 at Windows Vista 64 bit

Hej
When I start I see a dilalog window popup and then it is removed imeediately. I am not able to see the text. Then nothing happens. When I go through all running processes I see that 3 instances of msiexec.exe have started. One of them takes 13% of the CPU and will run for ever.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Anders

Do the following:
1. Ensure that you are a member of the Windows Administrators group. If not, you will not be able to perform the installation.
2. Ensure that any previous attempts to install have been terminated (refer to the Task Manager)
3. Decrease or disable UAC. Refer to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off
4. Once you have completed the above (reboot may be necessary), right mouse click on the JRE installable you downloaded (i.e. jre-6u24-windows-i586.exe). Select "Run as Administrator"
Be sure to do this from the local machine and not a remote machine. For example do not do this using VNC, Remote Desktop Sharing, ect.
Also, if you have older JRE versions installed, I would recommend uninstalling them and rebooting first.

Officially supported JRE for Windows Vista

Hi,
Please let me know the officially supported JRE/JDK version for Windows Vista. Does JDK1.4.2 _XX supports Windows Vista?
Regards,
Raj

I think the real question is does ANYTHING workon
Vista?Well, my java code works fine on Vista, as an
application, and as an applet, developed using
eclipse, also running on Vista.
So clearly, SOMETHING does run on Vista, and works
very nicely thank you!Wow, you should call Microsoft. I'm sure they offer a
prize for the first app to run on Vista. Sorry, I'm
being cynical today. Anyway, every person I know
that's upgraded to Vista is real, real sorry.
Existing software and hardware no longer working is
the biggest problem.Yeah, today I was on Microsoft's side, but that is not the normal 'me'!
However, Vista does look gr8, and if you only run 1. my app (www.j2e.com), 2. Eclipse, and 3. browsers, Vista doesn't seem to break!

iTunes cannot work if Quicktime doesn't, so that has to be fixed first.
Have you ever installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter
If so the must be uninstalled.
Then or if you don't have them then continue with this;
Download the version of QUicktime that does not include iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Remove Quicktime using the method for QUicktime in this article:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you get to the system32 folder, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC and then install the Quicktime you just downloaded.
Check to see if it works and if it does try iTunes.
