I did the following steps and I can now successfully open OAPPS forms in Linux.
I installed Linux 5 and then Apps R12.1.1 but did not install the mozilla seperately. Rather I used the default mozilla which gets installed with linux.....
Steps I did:
1.Checked my Java Plugin version from $CONTEXT_FILE
[applmgr@jeddah ~]$ grep plugin $CONTEXT_FILE
2.Downloaded exactly the same version of PLUGIN.
Link to downlaod:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/6u7/index.html
-- Under the heading JDK 6u7 includes the JVM technology.. Click on "Download JRE" for J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE)
-- Select your specific PLATFORM (Linux as I did)
-- This will take you to the available files
-- Click on "jdk-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin" to install on your machine
3. WinSCP it to your linux at some location
4. Change the file permission.
”chmod 755 jdk-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin”
5. Execute this file as:
[root@jeddah ~]#./jdk-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin (You will be asked to accept license agreement , click enter and when prompted to accept license enter Yes)
–This will install jre 1.6.0_07 in linux machine under /usr/java and plugin is installed under
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
6. Configure JRE Plug-in in browser
–Go to the DEFAULT Mozilla FireFox plug-in directory which is
[root@jeddah ~]# cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
Creating softllink:
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ./libjavaplugin_oji.so
THAT's ALL.
Now, open a fresh Firefox window and login to access your FORMS.... HAVE FUN!!
