Apps 11i Browser setup on Linux

The Oracle Applications Administration document is a very fine piece of reference indeed not only for 11i newbies but for anyone who's into Oracle Apps. Congratulations!
I would just like to suggest adding a section on how to setup a Linux browser (Firefox/Mozilla) inorder to use Apps client in Linux. This is particularly needed when trying out Apps on standalone computers.
This 'how-to' would therefore discuss how to 'trick' the browser to use a java plugin instead of jinitiator which only works on a Windows based browser such as IE and Firefox (Windows).
I have not been successful setting this up myself. For a start can someone who has done it successfully post the steps in this forum?

yes below is the good solution.
Actually oracle 11i using jdk 1.4.2_04
so u need to specifically install this java version .
while in the server side there is no need to install java because it is the part of installation and u will find it in COMN_TOP or viscomn directory.
1] cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
2]ln -s /home/oracle/viscomn/util/java/1.4/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
3] restart the browser.
if it still not running on other linux flavour do let me know , i have other way round also.

Pre-Requisites:
Oracle 11.5.10.2 by default required jdk 1.4.2_04 on client as plugin.
Note for Xandros or any debian linux or even any redhat platform having java greater that 1.4.2_04
i take an example of Xandros 3
* Basically Xandros 3 runs built-in java installed jdk 1.4.2_06
To get Oracle apps working on Xandros.
* Start your firefox and goto the url : about:plugins
It will show
application/x-java-bean;jpi-version=1.4.2_06 Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_06:Java::$
* Goto ~/.mozilla/firefox/ directory and open your pluginreg.dat
A small hack here can get you your Oracle apps working on Xandros. Just change the following
application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_06:Java::$
to
application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_04:Java::$
and
application/x-java-bean;jpi-version=1.4.2_06
:Java::$
to
application/x-java-bean;jpi-version=1.4.2_04
:Java::$
Its better to replace 1.4.2_06 with 1.4.2_04 every where in this file
* Restart your firefox and goto the url : about:plugins
It will display changes as,
application/x-java-bean;jpi-version=1.4.2_04 Java Yes
Now, enjoy oracle 11i apps on Xandros or any linux

I am working on it and it is giving me issue on Redhat AS 4 as if I use oracle login to create soft link and the Firefox is giving error but when I use root and open firefox from root session then sometimes it opens but sometimes no response. I have downloaded JDK from,
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2 ... index.html
and now will try with this on other than server. Thanks
