Oracle Forms

Clarifications

are you using the sun java plugin or jinitiator?

I do not know about today's most current PDAs, but the party line used to be jinitiator would not load and/or function correctly on a PDA O/S.

We have had some recent small success testing forms applications using a pocket pc emulator we found at websit http://www.g-site.com/ppc but, we have not actually run on a real PDA device yet. Also, we are not sure how "true" this online emulator is since it runs our simple test forms just as well if we use jinitiator or sun java plugin.

In our limited testing we saw than some screen artifacts did not translate. For example, we ran a very simple master deail form with some buttons, and it worked perfectly in the emulator, but a more sophisticated form with tab pages lost all the tabs and was thus not usable. We do not know why.

I am afraid you will eventually be more help to us than we are to you. Might we as ask that if you can get forms to run on a PDA, that you send us the details of what you have done? We would apprecaite your experience.

Our current approach is to figure out first if we can actually get a simple form to run on a true PDA, and then to figure out which features will translate to PDA and which not, then we intend to avoid these "bad" features. Not a great approach but possibly workable for new forms.

Good luck. Kevin Meade
