AIX JRE version vs Sun JRE version

hi,
we have a 3th party application installed on an AIX server. The minimum JRE-version for the application is 1.4.2_09. If you type java -version on AIX you get:
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2)
Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM AIX build ca1420-20040626 (JIT enabled: jitc))
I was wondering if the IBM version-numbers are the same as SUN's or is it possbile that IBM 1.4.2 is 'the same' as SUN 1.4.2._10 or such?
many thanks!
Stijn

Hi George,
Apologies, these release notes were referring to some Security vulnerabilities with some specific JRE versions.
You can check the currently runing JRE version using:
This cannot be verified from UI, but you can verify from command-line (see command and output below).
C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\Cisco IP Communicator\JRE\bin\java.exe" -version
java version "1.4.2_19"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_19-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_19-b04, mixed mode)
Not sure about the second part of this query, will let others to comment on that.
Thanks,
Anand

How to change the default JRE when there are several version of JRE in Sys

How to change the default JRE when there are several version of JRE in System?
i have installed j2sdk1.5.0 then installed j2ee1.4,then installed Weblogic6.1 which use jdk1.3
Now the JRE is jdk1.3\bin
When run class that was compiled with jdk1.5,throw:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError
How can i change the jre to 1.5?

There is a workaround to move from 1.5 version to the older 1.4 version. But this could be specific to the browser setting the JRE version.
Excerpts from sun docs:
However, a user can still run older versions. To do so, launch the Java Plug-in Control Panel for the older version, then (re)select the browser in the Browser tab.
Example:
Assume you are running on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Internet Explorer, have first installed version 1.4.2, then version 5.0, and you want to run 1.4.2.
Go to the j2re1.4.2\bin directory where JRE 1.4.2 was installed. On a Windows default installation, this would be here: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin
Double-click the jpicpl32.exe file located there. It will launch the control panel for 1.4.2.
Select the Browser tab. Microsoft Internet Explorer might still appear to be set (checked). However, when 5.0 was installed, the registration of the 1.4.2 JRE with Internet Explorer was overwritten by the 5.0 JRE.
If Microsoft Internet Explorer is shown as checked, uncheck it and click Apply. You will see a confirmation dialog stating that browser settings have changed.
Check Microsoft Internet Explorer and click Apply. You should see a confirmation dialog.
Restart the browser. It should now use the 1.4.2 JRE for conventional APPLET tags.
Details are here
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/jcp.html
My system (Windows XP) has the version 1.5_09 set as the default. However i just installed JRE 1.5_06 and would like to revert back to _06 as the default JRE..
Will update if i find more information

SUN JRE 1.5 for AIX 5L Download

hi,
Can anyone help me with the correct url for SUN JRE 1.5 for AIX 5.3 OS?
I have to use SUNJRE 1.5 for one of Oracle retail applications and not able to find one from net.

IBM has a Java5-JVM for AIX, Sun itself does not support AIX.

Java 8 JRE Upgrades Are Leaving Old Versions Installed

I am trying to silently deploy Java 8 update 31 JRE, but the silent installation is leaving old versions of both 7 JRE and 8 JRE installed, so a single workstation may have 3 versions of Java JRE when we only want the last installed version to stay.
What configuration needs to be done so that silent installation removes older JREs when the new JRE is installed? Is it a command switch or something that needs to be edited in a config file?
I'm finding questions about this in searches with no solutions provided.

Hello,
Did searches like you, but seems like there is no 'nice' workaround for this .. So i did put in a uninstall using wmic in my install script.
Here is a sample of my script.
@echo off
wmic product where name="Java 7 Update 51" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where name="Java 7 Update 55" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where name="Java 7 Update 67" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where name="Java 7 Update 71" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where name="Java 8 Update 25" call uninstall /nointeractive
\\path-to-install-dir\jre-8u31-windows-i586.exe INSTALL_SILENT=Enable AUTO_UPDATE=Disable WEB_JAVA=Enable WEB_JAVA_SECURITY_LEVEL=H EULA=Disable REBOOT=Disable /L C:\temp\JavaDeployLog.txt
wmic product names have been found using "wmic product get name" and the install parameters from Oracle support: Installing With a Configuration File
Offcourse, when new versions will be releases, they have to be added manually to the top of this script, and then perhaps remove some of the older entries also, as this script takes around 5 minutes to execute at this moment for me.
I'm installing this using GPO, so i added my .bat file to a GPO as a logon script.
I know this isn't a pretty workaround, but it is a workaround....

Error With SCORM Content W Latest Version of Sun Java (1.6.0_10)

We're getting an error with users running the more recent version of Sun Java 1.6.0_10, but not with previous versions. This happens for all our SCORM content.
The Java logs are showing a lot of data, but the main symptoms seem to be:
network: CrossDomainXML: connection to host <our LMS server address> denied
LMS Error: 304 - Security exception
and
Error stack trace:
oracle.apps.ota.lms.LMSException: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission <our LMS server address> connect,resolve)
and
Returned: "false"
*** LMSGetLastError() [Thu Oct 09 10:56:35 EDT 2008]
Returned: "304"
*** LMSGetErrorString("304") [Thu Oct 09 10:56:35 EDT 2008]
Returned: "Security exception"
Our crossdomain.xml fille is configured correctly, and also previous versions of JRE are not having the problem (the Java logs look clean).
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks.

Hi All
Got a similar issue with the tracking / bookmarking of sessions - when on sun Java update 7 all is well however when update 10 or 11 is installed then SCROM session start on page 1 not the page you were on, also as expected they do not get marked as complete.
Two things happen
1) A small window is left for - [http://riti04.cornwall.nhs.uk:7780/ilearn/en/learner/jsp/relogin.jsp] - URL
2) We get an Error on page - [http://riti04.cornwall.nhs.uk:7780/ilearn/en/learner/jsp/lms.jsp] - URL
Looked for the Plugin section as per a pervious within the Java Control panel - but I'm not seeing it.
We use iLearn 5.0 and I am begining to think we need a patch but unsure which.
Thanks

Logo not displayed in MS JVM to Sun JRE conversion

Hi,
We have a small MS JVM version of application which we converted to Sun JRE. It has only one applet (we made it to <Object>). Applet code tries to load a logo using following code
URL url = getMainApplet().getCodeBase();
String protocol = url.getProtocol();
String host = url.getHost();
String file = url.getFile();
file = file.concat("images\\weblogo.gif");
URL imageURL = new URL(protocol,host,file);
Image weblogoImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageURL);
imagePanel = new ImagePanel(weblogoImage);
//imagePanel.setBounds(7,2,101,47);
imagePanel.setBounds(4,1,101,47);
add(imagePanel);
Some how it works fine with MS JVM but when we use sun jre..logo doent come..no error shown on console...
Any one has any idea...
thanks in advance..

I also have same problem with my WinXP-SP1 and I also had removed MSJVM through the Microsoft utility. Since then I am having problems using Java based sites. To solve this problem I upgraded my JRE from 1.4.1_xx to 1.4.2_04, now the problem is completly different. I am prompted to download Java Virtual Machine which opens a page from Microsoft web site saying that you need MSJVM but then that site works fine, I can use Java applets in that site. If I refuse to download the Java Virtual Machine (which just opens the Microsoft page) then it does not work. Only problem is I am prompted to download Java Virtual Machine and I have to click on Download button.
I have done everything to solve this problem unistalled JRE..restart..installing JRE...restart..and then checked http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.jsp but problem is still same.
I am highly frusteated with this. I think there are thousands of users who have same problem and Sun should have taken some initiative to solve this problem for Microsoft is not going to do anything in this regard. I seach Google and various forums and found tens of same problem with unresolved queries. Or Sun has taken any initiative in this regard.
JRE is working fine in my Firefox browser.
Thanks

SUN jre 1.6.0_04 under Forms 10.1.2.3 and IE7

Hello,
I get nuts about the SUN jre configuration in relation with IE7 (client side) and running under the Application Server 10.1.2.3 (server side).
My problem is that I want to use JRE 1.6.0_04 on IE7 for Oracle Forms at the client side. On the test client is also installed: JRE 1.6.0_05 and JRE 1.6.0_07.
Here is my formsweb.cfg configuration to it:
[testapp]

jpi_download_page=http://server:7777/forms/webutil/jre-6u4-windows-i586-p.exe
IE=native
I tried it under Firefox 3.0 where the version JRE 1.6.0_07 is installed. With the upper showed configuration it didn't worked. Only if I change this entry jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_07.
Result: Firefox works correct.
But the IE always starts the application with the SUN client: JRE 1.6.0_07
I don't know what to do? I also changed the registry entry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy]
and put this value in:
"EnableSecureStaticVersioning"=dword:00000000
Maybe somebody else knows what to do?
Thanks ahead

What I noticed earlier this year was
you can force Forms to use JRE 1.5 even though you have JRE 1.6 installed, but it will always pick the newest patch installed.
So, if you want to use JRE 1.5 and have JRE 1.5.06 and 1.5.12 installed, the only way to use 1.5.06 is to uninstall 1.5.12
But, if you read note 14 on the vertification matrix, newer patches of a certified major version, are also supported :)

Using the Sun JRE

Hi. We currently force the use for Java 6, version 22 by placing this code in the formsweb.cfg file:
[code]
### Define the default SUN JRE
### Java Plug-in 6 22
jpi_download_page=http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/
### Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin
jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0022-ABCDEFFEDCBA
### Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin
jpi_codebase=http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6u22-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,6,0,22
### Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_22
[code]
If I want to change this confirguration so that users always use the latest version of the Sun JRE, how would I modify this code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi. Thank you so much!
Is there a reason I would want to let users use any version of Java 1.6, but not Java 1.7? Is it not possible to use the same logic, but to allow the users to use any version of Java 1.7? Or is it unwise for some reason?
I'm just curious because sometimes my users are automatically prompted to install the latest version of Java, which is version 7, update 45 (I believe). And when they do that installation then our Web Form applications start to prompt them that they need to install the correct version of the plug-in. So I uninstall version 7, update 45 and Web Forms is fine again. Any thoughts on the best way to be handling the Java plug-ins?
Hello Sharpe,
Good Day. From your post we don't know what is your application server version. guess 10.x.x.x.x as you are talking about JRE 1.6.
JRE 1.7 is not compatible with AS 10.x.x.x.
So, if your user wish to install JRE 1.7, make sure JRE 1.6 also installed in the same pc. Now what can you do ? Yes. you can restrict a web browser to run only selected Java plugins not other one. You can manage this from Add-Ons manage settings.
This restrict user, use specific browser for you application.
Hope this helps

**Urgent**: GO_ITEM to pop-up CANVAS with IMAGE in Sun JRE gives error

Our Forms 10g Environment is this: Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production) using Sun JRE i.e. Java Plug-in 1.6.0_06
Problem is that when we try to navigate to a canvas (from a Button) which has an IMAGE ITEM the form is exited. This happens in every form which has a canvas with an image.
i.e. In Button, we have code: Go_Item('block123.button1'). Button1 is also in that pop-up canvas.
Even GO_BLOCK gives the same result.
If the image is in the same canvas as the button which has GO_ITEM code, then it works.
Of course this whole things works fine in JInit. But we need to run in Sun JRE.
Is this a Bug?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, as you are on 10.1.2.0.2 I strongly suggest that you apply the latest Patchset (10.1.2.3) the latest CPU Patches and the latest merge Patches. A lot of focus related things are fixed in those patches.
cheersI will do this and let u know thans.

MSJVM: plugin seems to be overridden by Sun JRE?

We have 1.5.0_06 installed and for old applications sometimes 1.4.2_10 is deployed (securestaticversioning disabled). On production environments it appears that the MSJVM can't be detected when 1.4.2_10 or 1.5.0_06 is installed. Disabling it in IE6 does the trick (where the MSJVM already was enabled).
How come?! As far as I know and googled, applications or sites only can request one version of the Sun JRE (through classid), but is there no way to specifically call on the MSJVM?
If the Sun JRE's are removed, the applications work alright. Has anyone an idea on how it is decided to which JRE/MSJVM will handle the request?
On our testing machines with the same software all websites work fine, but if we remove the MSJVM (removal tool from the MS site, clear the specific registry hives) it appears we get errors that the JVM can't be detected?!
Does IE6 first try to adress the MSJVM, and if other JRE's are detected then tries those?

The MS JVM was last updated in 2003 and has some rather well-known exploits. It is a major security hole waiting to be exploited. Find a way to remove it from all your machines. Note that if you merely disable it using policies, it may interfere with the function of the Sun Java plug-in.

There is a copy/paste problem with SUN JRE in the application.

Hi All,
The application is desinged and developed in Lotus Notes and contains a Rich Text field , its a web based application and loads with SUN JRE for the applet to gets load in the application. Whenever i tries to do copy/paste from Microsoft word document to rich text field in the application i get a text which is parsed with html tags which doesn't come while i loads MS JVM on the browser.
I tried with SUN JRE 1.5 and 1.6 version , i got the parsingproblem ie text mixed with html and xml tags.
Any help is appreciated!!.
Thanks

Hi,
When we right-click a word that is marked with red or blue underline, it will pop up the suggested corrections context menu. It can give you other options, such as adding the word to your custom dictionary depending on the Microsoft Office program that you
are using.
If you want to copy such words, you can use Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V to achieve the goal. Or, we can right-click the word and then select
Ignore All or Add to Dictionary, and then you can copy the word by right-clicking it.

Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

R12 and Sun JRE question

Just a quick question related to the Sun JRE and R12 .. We recently upgrade from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.3 ..
We are still in testing mode but everything appears to be working fine so far ..
One thing we noticed is that we are using the Sun JRE 1.6_18 on our PC's and we have 1.6_07 on the Web server environment files.
ex: in the .xml s_sun_plugin_ver">1.6.0_07
We also had to disable the Next Generation feature in the SUN JRE 1.6_18 because of different issues already known in metalink.
As far as I know the Sun JRE version in the Webserver only indicates the lowest version that can be used on PC's, all our PC use version 1.6.0_18
Is there any advantage in running the "txkSetPLugin.sh 16018" to bring the Webserver at 1.6.0_18 instead of 1.6.0_07 ?
Or can we just leave the webserver version at 1.6.0_07 ? as all our PC's use only one version of the Sun JRE which is 1.6.0._18
Thanks

When reading note 393931.1, it appears that the version in the Webserver config files, only dicates the lowest version that can be used on the PCs , in our case we only have one version 1.6_18 on our PCs , so I assume that having version 1.6_07 or 1.6_18 in the Web config files should not make any difference in our case ?It is always recommended you have the same version of Jinitiator/JRE on the web server and the client machines. Not sure about the list of advantages, so you may log a SR for this.
Also Note 393931.1 mentions patch 4377566, but the readme for this patch mentions the following:
APPLICATIONS INTEROPERABILITY PATCH FOR JRE1.5.0_x PLUGIN
So is this patch also applicable to JRE 1.6 ?This is a small patch, so I would recommend applying it.
Thanks,
Hussein
