Hereafter referred to as Jinit, it is a JVM distributed by Oracle Corporation. Jinit enables the Oracle Forms client application (otherwise known as Oracle D2K in earlier versions) in a web browser.   Earlier the Oracle forms where only available as client installed stand-alone applications which accesses the database and file system to run the application. With the advent of Jinit, the client installation of Oracle Forms run time is not required. The browser plug in for Jinit only must be installed.   While accessing the application for the first time if the plug in is not installed the browser will prompt for the installation. At this point, you must be logged in with Admin rights. You can revert the rights once the installation is done.   Versions The Jinit referred to in this article is 1.3.1.28 which was rolled on August 2007. The versions is based on some practises. The first two numbers that is 1.3 in our case refers to the Sun Microsystem's JDK v...

Caution: Raised your eyebrows with this notice? You should be. Why? Because, this is not a sure-shot method for converting your old forms to new version. If you are having more number of forms, you should try this method with a hand-full of forms first. Make sure that this works, and then proceed to your full set of forms for conversion. The conversion is a complex task, dealt with as a simple task in this article. I believe in breaking up of the complex task into multiple simple chunks which can be managed easily. So beware of estimating the conversion. Always keep a BIG buffer time for your conversion activities as it is NOT AN EASY TASK. In this article we will go through methods to convert an earlier version of Oracle Forms to Oracle Forms 10g Version. Here we are going to discuss a method through batch file provided by Oracle. In the <ORACLE_HOME>\BIN folder there is a batch file named frmplsqlconv.bat . In this batch file it is calling a Java class to search and repl...

The Oracle HTTP Server(OHS) provides key infrastructure for serving the Internet's HTTP protocol. OHS is used to return responses for both process to process and human generated requests from browsers. Key aspects of OHS are its technology, its serving of both static and dynamic content and its integration with both Oracle and non-Oracle products. Technology - OHS is based on the proven, open source technology of both Apache 1.3 and Apache 2.0. OHS versions based on Apache 2.0 now provide the ability to accommodate the newest version of the Internet Protocol, IPv6. OHS based on Apache 2.0 is available as a standalone product off the Oracle Application Server 10g Companion CD. In addition OHS now provides, via the open source product mod_security, an application firewall capability. Static and Dynamic Content - OHS serves static content directly or via standard interfaces such as WebDAV standard. Great fle...

The answer for this question took me and Google hours. And finally I got the answer: What is OHS? Oracle HTTP Server is often called Oracle HTTP Server. What version of Apache is Oracle HTTP Server based on? Two versions. Apache version 1.3.34 for OHS based on Apache 1.3 and Apache version 2.0.55 for OHS based on Apache 2.0. Are Apache modules, not provided by Oracle, supported when integrated with OHS? Oracle only provides support for modules included in the Oracle distribution. Oracle does not support modules obtained from any other source, including the Apache Software Foundation. However, OHS will still be supported when non-Oracle provided modules are included. If Oracle Support suspects that a non-Oracle provided module is contributing to a reported problem, customers may be requested to reproduce the problem without that module being included. What is Oracle’s policy on fixing security bugs found in OHS? Oracle’s policy and process for fixing security vulnerabilities can be foun...
