trouble with web server

We are having trouble viewing a .fmx Oracle form on a java enabled web browser.

What we have installed:
- Oracle database version 7.3

• Oracle Developer/2000 Server (release 2.1 for NT)
• Oracle Web Application Server (advanced edition ver 3.0.1.0.0 for NT)
• Windows NT server 4.0 with service pack 3.0

What we have done:
- Created and compiled a simple form on the NT machine.

• Set up a cartridge and baseHTML file per the Oracle Developer/2000 release 2.1 Guidelines for building applications reference book. (chapter 2 and appendix A)
• Set up and started a listener.
• Set up all pertinant virtual directories

The problem:
Using Internet Explorer 4.0, we give it the url refering to the virtual directory of the Forms Cartridge Handler. This calls the cartridge we created (web_cart) which in turn calls our baseHTML page. This page opens and the Applet begins running (oracle.forms.uiClient.v1_4.engine.Main). However, the screen remains blank even though a "Applet Started" message is displayed at the bottom of the window.

When we use Internet Explorer 3.0 we get a NoClassDefFoundError: RunForm message at the bottom of the window instead of the applet started.

Any ideas as to the cause of our problem? There is apperantly more to this than the book states but we are stumped as to what it is. Do we need to do something with java classes? Compile in a special way? Any help you can provide will be appreciated. This is a trial version we are testing to see if it meets our needs.

Thanks
John Thompson
