Re: Problem with Oracle 8i client & Oracle forms 6i

[Quoted] Hi Morgan

I had recognised my mistake. The only reason I posted the message was to see if any one had a solution which will involve modifying registry keys related to ORACLE_HOME rather than a comlete cleanup and fresh install.

Anyway I did the full cleanup and freshinstall, this time registry looks good. Still the problem persists. On close monitoring I realised that there was some problem with jrew.exe and the error log said.....

This sounds greek to me. All I can understand from this log is that...

1. There is some problem with java runtime environment. The AGE OLD jre 11 seems to have problems in coping up with my faster(?) Pentium 4 and win2k.
2. Oracle 6i is using jre 1.1 while the latest one is 1.3 which i have on my machine.
3. Oracle has hardcoded class path in the application. Ideally there shall be a configuration file where you can choose which "java runtime" you want to use. Further oracle should have left it to the users to set "classpath" variable to "Oracle Specific path" required by them rather than hardcoding it...

Now what I have done is like this......

1. I renamed $ORACLE_HOME\JRE11\bin to $ORACLE_HOME\JRE11\bin-old and
   $ORACLE_HOME\JRE11\lib to $ORACLE_HOME\JRE11\lib-old
   
2. Then I copied "bin" and "lib" folders from jre 1.3 folder to
   $ORACLE_HOME\JRE11
   
3. In jre 1.1 there was a file called jrew.exe while in 1.3 there is no such file. Instead it has javaw.exe. So I had to rename
   $ORACLE_HOME\JRE11\bin\javaw.exe to $ORACLE_HOME\JRE11\bin\jrew.exe
   

And what i have achieved is this........

1. If I run NET8 Assistant from start menu->oracle for winnt->NET8 Assistant IT WORKS.......(Great Achievement) but now you "can not" close the window. You have to "kill" it from Task Manager.

But it really doesn't heart me as long as my work is done....

I know this posting qualifies for comp.java.**** but I am posting it here for sharing the information with you all....

Does anyone know any oracle-java support group where I can get a CLEAN solution to this problem.

Cheers
