Hi,

We stopped supporting the java wrapper as Oracle released a patch for forms 10.1.2.3 that fixes the issue.

See also here : http://www.ora600.be/FRM-92095%3A+Oracle+Jnitiator+version+too+low+-+please+install+version+1.1.8.2+or+higher+patch 

The problem you describe (the message 'Publisher unknown' is because you signed your jarfile with a self signed codesigning certificate. To avoid this you must buy a java code signing certificate from a trusted certificate authority (for example here) - or if you have control over the client pc's, you could easely create your own certificate authority using openssl, generate a code signing certificate, sign the jar and distribute your root certificate to your clients. 

kind regards,

Kurt 

Another approach I thought about later on - It should be possible to subclass the Forms Main class and then override the init method.

In the init method you would then set the necessary system properties and then call the init method of the superclass.

This way all other applet methods are inherited - which is much cleaner and less of a hassle.

The only thing I'm not sure about is - is the property set early enough in the codepath so that Forms picks it up ...

hope this all helps !

cheers,

Hi,

I reckon you are not using my bootstrapper but wrote your own based on the info given below ?

If so - be sure to implement all applet methods (start/stop/init/destroy but also paint and appletresize)and call the same formsapplet methods. For example :

public void start() 

{

   System.out.println("Start forms") ;

   formsapplet.start() ;

}

public void paint(Graphics g) 

{

   formsapplet.paint(g) ;

} 

public void appletResize( int width, int height )

{

   System.out.println("Resize forms") ;

   resize( width, height );

   formsapplet.resize( width, height) ;

}

I also used a gridlayout to place the forms applet into :

setLayout( new GridLayout(1,0));

add(formsapplet); 

Using this approach I have no issues with height and width parameters. 

Some additional info -

 Oracle Forms applet is only tiny on first visit of the session.  If I refresh the page, the Forms applet is the correct size.

Not exactly user friendly...

Thanks for any insight,

Mark

One of our clients use this (bootstrapper) over SSL.

However, the SSL is terminated at the reverse proxy and not at the forms server.

Hi,

I tried succefully another simple solution,

add a java runtime parameter for overriding the system java.version parameter like this:

- open java control panel

- go to on tab 'java', click 'view'

- add -Djava.vendor="Sun Microsystems Inc."

or something else but not 'Oracle Corporation' or 'MICROSOFT'

Best regards

We're talking java 1.7 on the client side - as far as I know, Reports doesn't use a java applet on the client...

Discoverer on the other hand might have a similar problem on the client - but I haven't checked.
