Jinitiator and IE 7

CarlovskiJul 17 2007 — edited Jul 17 2007
Hi,
I've tried searching through support notices and documentation and am thoroughly confused.
Does anyone know what the current state of play regarding JVM support on IE 7 is?
We are currently still running a third party app using client server forms 6 but we are planning an upgrade to 10g application server. At the same time there is also a plan to upgrade to IE7 (this will be running on a windows 2003 network over citrix)
Are we likely to have any issues?

Can anyone suggest why people are having troube finding this document.

The home of Forms is http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms and its linked off of that page. Are people not aware of the "home" of Forms?

Thanks for the feedback

Once so much.:)

Well found again Gerd

By the way, very nice where-clause's code on your Blog.

I found the document no problem - just I was still confused!
In our situation, IE7 (Probably - it might still be IE 6 for a while) on windows 2003 what JVM should we be using? The support matrix seems to imply that the Sun JVM is the way to go, or am I misreading it?
Is any version supported for IE7 on windows 2003?

No, you are right. Jinitiator has not future.(I believe last version is 1.3...28, but check it

I use 1.5.xxx.11 and 12 from WIN's client

For the official news on Jinit see

We are working on versions BEYOND 1.3.1.28, so don't spread any rumours that we are not ;o)

Thanks

You can see how this is confusing though, to get to the answer requires finding a link to a blog, from a discussion forum....It's not much better than when I looked at this years ago and the issue was Jinitiatior vs the Microsoft JVM.
I think I even asked you about this in person at an oracle tech-day, and I'm still not convinced I've ever got a definitive answer!
Grant Ronald-Oracle
Well the SOD is the source of truth. Thats the place you need to look.
If you think you didn't get a definitive answer then please post your question again and I'll try to give you a definitive answer.
Gerd Volberg
by the way Grant: I know 2 SoD's for Forms (2005) and the Forms Client Side (2007)

did you have a newer version of the 2005 Forms-SoD or did it arrive with Forms 11g ?
Grant Ronald-Oracle
ok I'm confused - not sure what you mean, but lets not mess this thread - start a new one and we can address it there
