Running Oracle Forms on an Intel Mac
Hi there,
My job requires me to access an application which has been written in Oracle Forms. Unfortunately, when I try to open the URL of the application, Safari and Firefox both complain. I tried the same operation via my Parallels Windows XP partition and noticed that it wants to install an ActiveX called 'Jinitiator'. I did some investigation on the net and found references to people being able to run Oracle Forms via a Classic program called 'Applet Runner'. Of course, on my Intel-based Macbook, I can't run that program! I installed the Mac OS X program 'Applet Launcher' from the XCode package and tried using that to access the Oracle Forms app but that didn't work 😟
I want to know, has anyone managed to run an Oracle Forms app on an Intel Mac and if so, how do I do it! My workaround is to use Windows XP via Parallels but it does eat into my machines performance and would love to be able to run the app natively.
