Restrictions
At this time the Oracle Forms Demos are subject to the following restrictions:
- The demos should be installed against Oracle Developer Suite only.
If you choose to run the demos against an Oracle Application Server installation,
you will have to configure the demos yourself.
- The demos should only be installed on Windows NT, 2000 or XP (when supported
by Forms itself).
- The demos require that the JInitiator supplied with this version of Forms or
later is installed on the browser clients.
- The demos will not run correctly in the Internet Explorer Java Virtual Machines
(IE=Native) as this does not provide a high enough version of the Java Runtime.
- To run the JSpell Integration demo you must have installed the JSpell software
from http://www.thesolutioncafe.com/jspell.html.
Additionally you should read the help file jspell.html for information about
where you need to put the JAR files supplied with JSpell to get the demo working.
Known Problems
At the current time the following issues and bugs are know about in the Oracle
Forms demos:
- The first time that you run the demos after install, it make take some time
for the demo launch page to appear. This is due to the OC4J engine completing
it's initialization of the various servlets installed with the demos. Please
be patient!
- If you install the demos on a machine that uses DHCP to obtain it's IP address
you may find that the name of the machine used to launch the demos is the
machine name allocated by DHCP rather than the proper machine name.
This name may change over time as new DHCP addresses are granted. If this
is the case the demo page may no longer load. If this happens, change
the demo launch URL to reference "localhost" rather than the generated
machine name.
