Question

I have been facing trouble with running oracle 10g forms, I tried everything I know but it did not work. So please help me.

My computer specifications:

• OS: windows xp service pack 2.

• Database: Oracle 10g 10.2.0.
• Oracle developer suite 10g.
• JInitiator 1.3.1.30.

The problem: I start oc4j then I start oracle forms designer, then I made a form that suppose to display the employees table, the Firefox browser start and display a white empty page, when I tried to use Microsoft Internet Explorer, it did not work also, and the browser closed and display it's error message.

I hope there will be someone to help me find out what is the reason because I am really confused.

Answer 1

This looks like your browser does not find your java plugin in your browser. Here you can find out if you have java plugin installed: http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

In your formsweb.cfg file you can tell which java plugin version to use. Add to your [application] section some line like:

jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet

or (which is not as flexible and ignored by IE):

jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_18

Another ideas:

• Your FORMS_PATH variable is not correct
• Your FORMS variable is not correct
• Your CLASSSPATH variable is not correct
