Hi Mark
My best guess, although I've never seen it before, is that the latency
issue is caused by the way Oracle's JVM interacts with Windows and
Terminal Services. Craig Bender's suggestion will allow you to test this.
If it turns out to be a problem unrelated to the Sun Rays, it may be
worth trying the Oracle Forms application using a different web browser
and/or java plugin. First step is to try using "appletviewer" from Sun's
JDK. Try both 1.4 and 1.5. If this works, then you can create an icon on
the desktop to launch appletviewer pointing at the app URL.
You can also try launching the applet from your web browser using the
java plugin. It's been a while since I've done this, but it may require
copying the application launch page and modifying the html so that the
web browser is told to look for the java plugin instead of jinitiator.
It may even work within a web browser running on a different operating
system. Once again it's worth trying both 1.4 and 1.5.
In my experience Oracle Forms can sometimes be a bit "quirky" running on
different platforms. YMMV. If it's a showstopper, you may need to
convince the apps guys to upgrade to a more recent Forms patch level.

We're a reseller running a small Sun Ray demonstration for a
university. It's a self contained 100 Mb network with a D-Link router
providing DHCP addresses, a Windows 2003 server running the
application and a W2100z as the Sun Ray server with SRSS 3.1 on
Solaris. Rdesktop provides the Windows connectivity. We're using CAM mode.
The application is Jinitiator (Oracle's implementation of Sun's
JavaSoft Plug-In for Solaris). It's launched through a web browser and
they use it to access Oracle forms from the PC for a facilities
maintenance application. It's a Windows-only application.
When running from a Sun Ray 170 we're seeing slow response to keyboard
input, i.e., if you type quickly the display lags by six to seven
characters. When using other applications based on the PC such as
browsing the web or using word processing, the response is quite
satisfactory. Also when using the application directly on the PC, this
problem does not appear.
Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mark
