Oracle Forms/Applications in Internet Explorer 8 u

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 trusted sites using wildcards, and using compatibility mode to no avail. I am looking to get our Oracle guys to kick there Internet Explorer 6 habit. This is related to Oracle E-Business.

Answer 1

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.

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

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 4

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

Answer 5

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 6

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
