Oracle Forms/Applications in Internet Explorer 8 using JInitator

Question

Has anyone been able to get Oracle Forms running JInitator to loan in Internet Explorer 8 yet? I have tried removing all add-ons, various version of Java, add the domain to the

Answer 1

Yes as of now IE8 is not certified for Oracle Apps. You may hear a good news soon!

Answer 2

To solve this problem you need to replace the file C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator x.x.x.xx\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll with the sun version of the file.

On my system the sun version is here C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll

Answer 3

1. Install the latest JRE from Sun. I have installed "jre-6u10-windows-i586-p-s.exe".

2. Copy the jvm.dll (appx Ver 11.0.0.15 size 2.25 MB (2,359,296 bytes)) from the “C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\client” folder and paste it to folder where the Jinitiator is installed (default location) e.g “C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\bin\hotspot”.

3. It will work fine with the IE8 browser.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 4

We're having a similiar problem.

I believe Oracle is aware of this, and is working on a patch, which is not ready yet.

Answer 5

I have successfully installed Oracle Forms 10g on Windows7 and get both JPI and Jinitiator working.

Steps

• Install Dev10g
• Apply Patch p5983622_10123_WINNT
• Manually install JRE 1.6 upd 20
• Configure formsweb.cfg for JPI
• This is preferred method as you don't have to do following steps on each client

If you want to run using Jinitiator

• Configure formsweb.cfg for Jinitiator
• Once Jinitiator is installed on client machine replace jvm.dll

As Mundit has said, it is still not certified.

Do you have access to Metalink? Note: 760326.1 When Will IE 8 Be Certified With E-Bussines Suite? gives some further information.
