      Let \(A\) be a finite dimensional commutative semisimple algebra over a field \(k\), and let \((V,B)\) be a finitely generated symplective space over \(A\). The authors examine the action of the symplectic group \(Sp_ A (V,B)\) on the set of \(B'\)-isotropic \(k\)-subspaces of \(V\), where \(B' = f \circ B\) is the \(k\)-symplectic form induced by a `trace' map \(f:A \to k\). The case of \(A\) being a field was studied earlier. Here, the case where \(A\) has several simple components is considered. The orbits are completely classified when \(A = kXk\) and for maximal \(B'\)- isotropic subspaces when \(\dim_ k A = 3\). The number of orbits of maximal \(B'\)-isotropic subspaces is infinite if \(\dim_ k A \geq 4\) and \(k\) is infinite.
