Hi Frederic,

It's very easy to migrate your F45 to the web. The only thing you have to do is install Developer Server 1.6 on your server. You can even use the same fmx-files.

A small problem is that your client has to load an applet with a size of about 1.5Mb the first time each day they visit your site. On a normal modem connection this takes about 5 minutes, so your users must be very patient. If a group of client users connect via a proxy server only the first one could get some coffee.

Another problem is that Oracle only certified it's own JInitiator for JVM. You can distribute this JVM from your own server, but it's again a couple of Mb's. However, we found out the JVM integrated in IE5.0 is working fine.

Another problem are firewalls. Client and server are communicating in TCP/IP sockets and most firewalls won't let this through. If it's your own firewall you could make a tunnel in it. For other firewalls you need HTTP-support. A beta-release of this was introduced in Developer Server 6.0, but is still buggy. You can run your F45 forms with F60 after generating the fmb again.

Greetings,

Roel
