Re: Anyone Actually using Dev/2000 Server / Web Enabled forms ?

Well, it seems we have same experience. We DON'T have any of forms deployed yet... Just the test ones. We are waiting for contract to be signed then we'll start migration of PL/SQL modules into forms.
Our aplication consists of some 30-40 forms, some simple, some complex with master/detail, tab pages, complex controls... The aplication is not public accesible, as it would be to problematic for users to make it work (different JVM-s). For public accessible aplication you should consider different option.

If you only have 5-6 forms to be deployed, you should perhaps consider PL/SQL or the new JWeb cartridge (OAS 4.0.8).

If you want/need more info please e-mail me.
