Oracle Forms/Applications in Internet Explorer 8 using JInitator

Question

Has anyone been able to get Oracle Forms running JInitator to loan in Internet Explorer 8 yet? I have tried removing all add-ons, various version of Java, add the domain to the trusted sites using wildcards, and using compatibility mode to no avail. I am looking to get our Oracle guys to kick there Internet Explorer 6 habit. This is related to Oracle E-Business.

Answer 1

To solve this problem you need to replace the file C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator x.x.x.xx\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll with the sun version of the file.

On my system the sun version is here C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll

Answer 2

Replacing the jvm.dll did not work for me. The proper way to switch to Sun's Java VM which worked for me is by changing this

baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm

to this

baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm

in the formsweb.cfg file. IE8 on XP SP3, DEP enabled.
