Hi all,

There is some information which i want regarding Converting Forms 4.5 Apps to 3-Tier apps.
The application is running on Forms version 4.5 and Reports Version 2.5, and the client wants
it to be converted into a 3-tier architecture. I have a few queries regarding that:

What is the best architecture to do it? HTML - J2EE-Oracle D/b or Using Form 6i(Using JInitiator) Or Forms 9i?
Is Forms 6i, or Forms 9i a true 3-tier architecture like HTML-J2EE-Oracle D/b?
While converting to Forms 6i or 9i how much is the magnitude of change and coding required?

Any sugegstions, information and pointer will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
