Teresa,
We used to have 8.1.7 - if I am not mistaken - with iSuites, Apache as
the web server and Forms60 server for or forms. That provided us with
access to the forms by loading a web browser with a URL pointing to the
ifcgi60 executable that would in turn load JInitiator (needed version of
JInitiator may vary). After loading JInitiator, the logon screen would
come up. All forms resided on the form server.
Regards,
Julio

Subject: WebForms = Developer Forms + Reports?
I have a question, which I have asked in the oracle.tools newsgroup and
got an answer, "WebForms", but my research isn't turning up much.
I can't seem to find what I'm looking for, which means either what I
want can't be done, or I don't know how to explain what I want, or I
haven't found the answer where I've been looking.
Here it is: We now have 8.1.5 running on Win2K Server, and a
Developer/2000 Forms and Reports client/server application that connects
via Net8 and the internet. We wanted to make this into a web based
application but the customer won't pay for the upgrade to the Oracle
software, so we're stuck with only what comes with 8.1.5 Enterprise
Edition.
I want to know if it is possible to keep all the forms and reports
inside the database, instead of putting a copy of all those files on
each person's machine. Then, have either a URL or a shortcut on the
desktop that will download the initial .fmx file and whatever it needs
to run, but NOT inside a web page. The files download and run, just
like client/server, but with all files held in the database until
needed.
So: user has icon on desktop for our application just like always.
User clicks on icon: files download and run. User does work, with files
downloading onto machine as click events dictate. When user closes
initial program file, all files delete themselves off of the machine.
Just like servlets/jsp, which I can do, but we already have all these
Forms and Reports files and it would take FOREVER to redo everything.
Is this possible, or am I just dreaming??? And I don't mind RTFM, I
feel as if I've already R_ALL_TFMs on OTN regarding Forms, Reports,
AppServer, Developer Server, Concepts, *everything*... but can't find
what I need. Or just don't understand what I'm reading. :-)
Thanks, and let me know if you need more info.
