You can still use IE with java plugin to run forms ( or use webstart).

Hello User,

You are not providing much information but there are important things you need to know.

It seems like you are indicating that the Java Applet required to run your Forms application(s) is not running on your browser (I assume Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox). For many years now, these browsers have announced desupport for NPAPI, the browser component responsible for running Java Applets in browsers. Because they were security treath, they remove this component except for Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, which is official de supported by Microsoft (and Oracle) since fall 2020.

What you need to do, is implement Java Web Start on your server so your Forms can execute on current browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge.

I had to convert my Oracle E-Business Suite installation recently to Java Web Start and it works like a charm...

Good luck!

send me the document which shows configuration to do in order to run oracle forms 12c on any browser , there should not be any java depedency

Michael Ferrante-Oracle

You cannot run an Oracle Forms application without Java.

With Java 8 (32bit JRE) installed on the user machine, enter the following URL in the browser (replace the server and port with your details):

http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webstart

Refer to the product documentation for information on how to use it.

If you are using the default sample configurations Oracle provides and you are trying to run a WebUtil enabled form with web start (JWS) then the correct config name would be webutil_webstart and not webutil

If you have changed the provided config then you may need to add the following applet parameter:

webstart_codebase Its value would be the user facing URL to the directory where extension.jnlp lives. For example;

webstart_codebase = https://marsslive-forms.uk.pri.o2.com/forms/java

I am getting below error for webstart method after removing jacob jar reference from extensions.jnlp file

at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager$AppletExecutionRunnable.run(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

is there any simple step by step process on how to implement webstart method on application server so that forms runtime will work with chrome or edge

Michael Ferrante-Oracle

You are getting the error for the reason I already explained. Refer to my previous update where I explain what config needs to be set. Specifically the part about webstart_codebase
