I've just spent nearly 2 weeks trying to get this to work! AFAIK, it will ONLY work with the appletviewer - not with any browser. It takes about 90 seconds (1.5 minutes!!) to start up on a Digital Celebris 6200 with 48Mb RAM).
You also need to start the Forms Server process - I'm not sure if it's on the server or the client. I was running WebServer on the same PC, so it didn't matter to me.
Oracle tech support are pretty new to this, and couldn't help me out - I had to solve all my own problems.

My conclusion - Hey! I got it to work, but no way is this at all a viable proposition for deploying an application in the real world.

Good luck!! Received on Thu Apr 09 1998 - 05:09:04 CDT
