I get an error that says Java Application Launch failed. Unrecognized file type: /Users/<me>/Downloads/frmservlet
Can somebody help me? I'm a relatively new Mac user and I use Oracle every single day at work. I would back out Big Sur if I could.
Did you install a Java runtime (JRE) or development kit (JDK)? Java is not supported directly by the OS. You normally must install a JDK to run Java apps. Java Web Applets are blocked as they are inherently insecure.
Initially I had JRE only... then I took everything off and installed both JRE and JDK.... then I took those off and went back to JRE (following ALLLLL the suggestions I found while I was googling...). So should I take the JRE off and go back to JDK? I don't think it's going to work anyway because apparently java web start is gone and there is now nothing that recognized the jnlp files, which Oracle forms is full of. I did try to use the open source version of java web start and it SORT of worked... Oracle Forms opened but then immediately closed.
Bottom line, I can't do my work now that I've upgraded to Big Sur and I'd really love a way to go back to Catalina without resetting my machine to its initial state. I did find a website that said I could do that but I haven't quite reached that level of desperation yet...
I only have the OpenJDK 14 installed and it doesn't support javaws.

Did you not make a backup of Catalina before installing Big Sur?
Of course I didn't. LOL. Yes I usually do but I got a wild hair and upgraded. Never again.
I cannot access Oracle since I upgraded to Big Sur.
