Will a Java Applet in Java 1.6.0_23 work  through a 10.1.2.0.2 Form?

hi

did you modify formsweb.cfg?
if yes what did you modify?

Hello,

If you Applet uses some 1.6 code, install the Sun plug-in 1.6 on your machine, then configure your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file to use it at runtime..

The archive_jini tag is dedicated to tha JInitiator, so the 1.3 plugin. If you use the Sun plugin - 1.4 to 1.6 - use the archive tag instead.

change this ...


jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0023-ABCDEFFEDCBA
# Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin
jpi_codebase=http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4_2-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,6,0,23
# Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_23

and run your form with config=jpi

We use the DirectPrint bean as explained in detail in http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-6621538.html with our Forms 10g Version 10.1.2.3.0. It works fine up to JRE 1.6.0_17. (I did not check update 18 and 19.)
But when we use JRE 1.6.0_20 or later, the signature check will hang. It asks whether the user trusts the program and wants to execute it, but since it then hangs, clicking on "execute" is not possible. (The Oracle Forms Runtime has to be killed in Windows task manager.)

Amazingly, the application runs perfectly after importing the necessary 3 certificates (as files) into the certificate store. (Since the certificates are already in the folder "trusted certificates", the signature check question screen is not shown in this case.)

Since we would not like to force users to import certificates as files to the client, we would be happy to fix this.

Does anybody have an explanation or cure for this? Why does it occur with JRE 1.6.0_20 or later?
