Re: Oracle-(server) and Macintosh

It's not to tough - using the latest Mac Java implementation. IIRC it's 2.2. You have to right the html outside of any plugin you would normally use (ie JInitiator) - but it works. I've currently got about 20 folks connecting from Mac's to Oracle Applications 10.7 NCA.

You might have to play with web.show_document. I am assuming I guess that you are not going client/server, but are using the ICA/NCA paradigm. I'd also say the clients should be at MacOS 8.6 or higher.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
