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

Here's something even more intersting about JINIT. It was de-supported by Oracle as of July 31st. You might want to consider moving to the SUN JPI instad. This is the recommended route by Oracle now, and since JINIT will not be getting updates it's the safest.

Answer 2

Replacing the jvm.dll did not work for me. The proper way to switch to Sun's Java VM which worked for me is by changing this

baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm

to this

baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm

in the formsweb.cfg file. IE8 on XP SP3, DEP enabled.

Answer 3

A colleague of mine told me to do the following:

Add server to Trusted Sites and then:

1. Tools / Internet options
2. Security tab -> Trusted Sites
3. Click on Custom level... button
4. scroll to the end and find "Enable XSS filter" option (3rd from the bottom)
5. set it to Disable

This works for me with 11i and R12 apps.

Good luck!

Answer 4

One thing to add to Simon's solution. I did the trick on one computer but couldn't repeat it on a second one. Finally, I discovered that replacing the file does not work when using the file jvm.dll from java 6 update 14. It worked fine when I used the jvm.dll file from version 13.

Answer 5

You guys are great! I was pulling my hair off their roots and now got it fixed.

1. I went to Control Panel/System/Advanced tab/Startup and Recovery panel hit Settings. Then in the System Startup panel hit Edit. There made noexecute=AlwaysOff and saved.
2. As per Simon I swapped the Oracle jvm.dll with the Java version. I had to downgrade that to jvm.dll version 10.0.0.23 though.
3. Also as per Simon I went to Tools/Internet Options/Security/Trusted Sites/Custom Level and disabled Enable XSS Filter.

Not sure whether #1 applies to everyone but it was necessary for me. Good Luck! Fouwaaz
