So what happens when you have a web-based application which MSUT be
accessible - like an Oracle Form running in a browser window (IE6.0) -
how do you cater for accessibility here if its web based ???

Not sure which set of WAI guidelines should it adhere to ?? WCAG or
UAAG ??
Any ideas on the subject ?

I asked this question a while back and I got a reply from someone at Oracle.
Conversation below
--------------------

Oracle Forms 6i runtime is accessible while both the builder and runtime is
accessible in Forms 9i.
We have a link to a 'Forms Applications White Paper' at
http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/
The direct link to the white paper is
http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/apps02.html

Any questions about accessibility at Oracle can be sent to
= EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED =
----------------------------------

Applications developed with forms can certainly meet the standards of
section 508. Rather than 1194.22 which really applies to Web pages and HTML
applications, Forms can be coded to meet 1194.21 - Software Applications and
Operating Systems. Obviously, as you say this involves following the coding
standards white paper. Indeed, much of Oracle Applications is coded in Forms
(albeit version 6i) - for which VPATs are available on the Oracle website.
Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions.

You may want to post your question to a Java accessibility related forum or
the Java access listserv (a very helpful resource).

forum url: http://forum.java.sun.com/

listserv url: http://archives.java.sun.com/archives/java-access.html

I have posted similar questions before with no luck, but it has been a
while and it never hurts to try again. Maybe someone has found a good solution.

Good luck.
