Sun JRE instead of Jinitiator with Forms and Webutil

Running Forms and Webutil with Sun Java 5.0.6 instead of Jinitiator.

And you know what: it’s faster and has more functionality I’ve been told…
First you need the java-file. In this case: jre15006.exe.

Initially I found it hard to find on the site of Sun – didn’t even know the name of the file I was looking for…
Found it at http://www.muangyacctv.com/download/JAVA but if you keep searching the Sun-website, you will find it here:

https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProduct
Detail-Start?ProductRef=jre-1.5.0_06-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer

Then: where shall I put the file? The application server expects the file in /forms/jinitiator.
In forms.conf this is defined as:
AliasMatch ^/forms/jinitiator/(..*) “/software/oracle/middle/jinit/$1?

Next thing is the configuration in formsweb.cfg (at the end of this post is the configuration what worked for me,
but first some explanation, quoted from some notes):

# baseHTMLjinitiator
# Suppose the old [webutil] configuration in formsweb.cfg contains:
baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljini.htm
# Change this in [sunwebutil] to:
baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljpi.htm

# IE : Used to enable the browser’s default JRE
IE=native

# jpi_classid
# This parameter value is used by Microsoft Internet Explorer to determine if the desired plug-in is installed.
# The value is recorded in the Windows Registry during the JRE/JPI or Jinitiator installation.
# When the browser sees this ID number it looks in the Registry to determine if it exists.
# If the ID is not found, the browser assumes that the needed plug-in has not been installed.
# The exact value will differ depending on the JRE or Jinitiator version selected for use.
# The only exception is the Sun “dynamic
