Peter,

No. You do not need a DAD to server Forms through OAS. The served form uses the connect information given in your STATIC.HTML file.

Yes you can. AFAIK, Oracle is supporting JInitiator. But you can use Sun's Java Plugin downloadable from their web site. JInitiator is Oracle's version of this product. Unfortunately, JInitiator only works on for clients on NT platforms. We have Unix workstations and we needed to install Sun's Java Plugin for those browsers.

There are some instructions provided with the OAS documentation. Go to the OAS Manager screen and select Online Documents. The documentation is sparse and not all complete. I had to call Oracle Support and they sent me the "correct" documentation.

You'll also need to define /web_cache/,/web_html/, and /web_jars/.

It appears that you are using the old version of STATIC.HTML. Try this version instead:
<HTML> <!-- Sample Static HTML with new parameters --> <!-- You will need to change the following parameters in this document: --> <!-- pcname.domain:port --> <!-- modulename and userid/password_at_dbalias --> <!-- yourlogo parameter for a custom splash screen --> <!-- yourbackground parameter for a custom background --> <!-- specify separateFrame = false if you'd like the form to run in thebrowser window -->

If you contact Oracle Support, they will send you the proper STATIC.HTML file for their instructions.

I think you got this due to a possibly incorrect CLSID in the STATIC.HTML file. Again, contact support and they can give you what you need.
You appear to be going through exactly the same problems I had. The documentation was lacking. I was only able to get this done after contacting support. Unfortunately, I don't have any electronic copies of the documents so I can't send them to you.
HTH,
Brian
