John,

while I cannot give you specific help, I thought I told you of my experiences I made last week.

I have the same environment that you state below except for the fact that I don't have a trial version of Developer Server but the commercial one. I went straightforward according to the manual, very much like you write you did. However, I created a static html page where the <applet> tag refers to my Forms module. The page looks like this:

<HTML>

<!-- FILE: static.htm -->
<!-- Oracle Static (Non-Cartridge) HTML File Template (Windows NT) -->
<!-- Rename, and modify tags and parameter values as needed -->

<HEAD><TITLE>Developer/2000 for the Web</TITLE></HEAD>

<BODY><BR>Please wait while the Forms Client class files download and run.

<BR>This will take a second or two... <P>

<APPLET CODEBASE="/web_code/"

        CODE="oracle.forms.uiClient.v1_4.engine.Main"
        ARCHIVE="/web_jars/f50web.jar"
        HEIGHT=20
        WIDTH=20>

<PARAM NAME="serverPort"
       VALUE="9000">

<PARAM NAME="serverArgs"
       VALUE="module=PHYSICAL_PATH\MODULE.FMX

userid=UN/PW_at_CONNECT_STRING">

<PARAM NAME="serverApp"

VALUE="default">

</APPLET>

</BODY>
</HTML>

This page resides in a mapped virtual directory.

I did not have to do anything more than the "Developer/2000" book says from page 2-22.
