B JInitiator

This section describes the benefits of using Oracle JInitiator as a Web browser plug-in. Oracle JInitiator enables users to run Oracle Forms applications using Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. It provides the ability to specify the use of a specific Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on the client, rather than using the browser's default JVM.

Oracle JInitiator runs as a plug-in for Netscape Navigator and as an ActiveX component for Internet Explorer. Oracle JInitiator does not replace or modify the default JVM provided by the browser. Rather, it provides an alternative JVM in the form of a plug-in.

Oracle provides two Jar files (frmall.jar and frmall_jinit.jar). frmall.jar is a standard Jar file, and frmall_jinit.jar is a Jar file with extra compression that can only be used with Oracle JInitiator.
