I installed forms 12.2.1.3 with a very recent version of java 8 (220) so on the test form it got stopped for a java security problem.
forms/frmservlet?config=webstart
Why would this be happening? I did not deploy any jars much less something self-signed. I should hope that oracle signed the forms
stuff appropriately.
This is referring to 32 bit 8u202 (but I should've used 8u201).
Ok it helps to run 32 bit and not 64 bit. I find the following on windows:
chrome 73 comes up with 2 security blocks on the extreme bottom left of the screen and it never gets over it, and will not remember the url either. Chrome is not usable for webstart.
Firefox 66 comes up with a security block but it will get over it if one checks that box. It will not remember the url however.
IE 11 comes up with a security block but it will get over it and remembers the whole url. So I'd say IE is the browser to use.
These are problems with the browser blocking webstart and not problems with java blocking itself.
