Using JRE instead Of Jinitiator to run Oracle Forms

as jinitiator have problems with windows 7 and of course the jinitiator have limited functionality rather than JRE , so you should think strongly replace your calling forms using JRE .

The most important motivator to do this is to know that you will do it very easy while still using the jinitiator in different config :

1- the first step is to create a new config section inside the formsweb.cfg as follow

baseHTML=basejpi.htm
baseHTMLJInitiator=basejpi.htm
baseHTMLjpi=basejpi.htm
baseHTMLie=basejpi.htm
# this parameter control the using of version
jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA
# this parameter indicate a site specific place to download the jre to the client if the client doesn't already have the jre
# insalled on the client , note that the JREDownload should be defined as virtual directory , and # the exe file should# be existed on the physical location of the
jpi_codebase=http://168.169.1.66:52003/forms/JREDownload/jre16016.exe#Version=1,6,0,16
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;
jpi_download_page=/forms/jinitiator/us/jinit_download.htm
baseHTMLJInitiator=basejpi.htm

# The archive parameter will be used instead the archive_jini , but note the jar files should be #signed
archive=frmall.jar,frmall_jinit.jar,myappicons.jar

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in the forms.conf file you should add the following virtual directory

AliasMatch ^/forms/jre/(..*) "C:\DevSuiteHome_1/forms/jre/$1"

-----------------------------

the final step run your forms using the config jretest
