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

Well, it seems we have same experience.
[Quoted] 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.
