Activate Jinitiator with Microsoft Vista
Using Mircosoft Vista may introduce the problem of activating Jinitiator while running Oracle forms via oracle application server. The basic solution for this is listed as following.
1. Download latest Java JDK (such as jdk1.6.0)
2. Install JDK and copy the file X:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_01\bin\client\jvm.dll to folder X:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.21\bin\hotspot. To overwrite the existing jvm.dll.
3. Solve OS compatible issue
under folder X:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.21\lib
change font.properties.zh.5 to font.properties.zh.6，and
font.properties.zh.5.1 to font.properties.zh.6.14. Languages compatible issue (if you use multiple languages)
in file X:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.21\lib\font.properties, change filename.\u5b8b\u4f53=SIMSUN.TTF to filename.\u5b8b\u4f53=SIMSUN.TTC
Above is the essential changes after OS is upgraded to Microsoft Vista.

This no longer works with latest Java 1.6.0 u14, causes exceptions (below). Revert to older 1.6 revision, u10 confirmed to work.
