Gargoyle proposed the following answer:
Hi Neena,
I can help you with the first issue (how to connect to a forms-report web-site)...
For the second I'm searching a solution too...
OK
Scenario:
Your issue is "how to connect my browser (on Ubuntu Platform) to an Oracle 10g forms servlet.
The answer is in the server itself.
Working with the server-side $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server config files you can reach to goals:

1) Make the forms servlet require always the jpi mode
2) Make the forms servlet alway check for the 'family' of jpi instead of the 'complete version' of the jpi expecially if your browser (on any platform) is mozilla-based.

I'm trying to attach some code extracted from my tricks:

==============================
$ORACLE_HOME/forms/server/formsweb.cfg
==============================
#
# I'm using webutils but before install them I used the same trick with the basejpi.htm...
#
baseHTML=webutiljpi.htm

baseHTMLie=webutiljpi.htm

baseHTMLjpi=webutiljpi.htm

baseHTMLJInitiator=webutiljpi.htm

archive=f90all.jar

jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0015-0000-0016-ABCDEFFEDCBA

jpi_codebase=http://java.sun.com/update/1.5.0/jinstall-1_5_0_16-windows-i586.cab

jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;version=1.5

jpi_download_page=https://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.html

#
# In my file there are references to jiinit archive and ie_vm archive but the
# first trick make them unused
#

These are the modifications I made to my config file.
Check for the correct url to download the sun jre from. I had some difficulties.
I can't remember exactly but i think I installed it via the package manager.

The configuration will force windows-explorer browser to download Java-
jre too

I hope this helps
Norberto
