E-Business Suite and Java Web Start: Frequently-Asked Questions
Does EBS depend upon Java on desktop clients?
Yes. The E-Business Suite requires Forms. Forms is started by a Java applet.
Java applets are launched by the Java Plug-in using a browser that supports plug-ins via the NPAPI protocol.
The Java plug-in runs in the browser memory space and manages the execution of the Forms applet and other EBS applets in one or more separate Java Virtual Machines (JVM). Java Plug-in also supports the communication between these JVMs and browsers.
