JPI Codebase for latest JRE 6.0

Hi. According to Sun documentation the latest JRE for Forms should be activated/downloaded by visiting
http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6-windows-i586.cab
However, this downloads and installs 1.6.0_12, when the current [ at time of writing ] version number is 1.6.0_17.
Does anyone know if this is right or not ?
TIA
Chris S.

Chris,
To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to dynamically pick up the latest JRE installable version (identified by jpi_codebase in Forms). The CLSID is the mechanism used for determining which JRE you would like to run the applet with and has nothing to do with what is downloaded (with one exception - get to that in a sec - see Family CLSID). So, yes, there are a variety of different CLSID values that can be used, but it is up to the admin to determine what the minimum version is as controlled by the version sent to the client at install time.
Here are some CLSID examples:
Family:
CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA
This is used when you are want the latest version of a particular family (i.e. 1.5, 1.6, etc) installed on the client machine to be used. For example if 1.5.0_10, 1.6.0_14 are installed, 1.6.0_14 will be used because the above CLSID indicates that you want to use the 1.6 family.
I believe that it is this case when jpi_codebase is ignored and the latest JRE would be downloaded regardless of the value you set. In this case, if no JRE from the specified family was installed, the latest would be obtained (jpi_codebase ignored).
Dynamic:
8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93
Similar to family, but this will cause the newest of all families installed to be used. For example if multiple families are installed (i.e 1.5 and 1.6), the newest of 1.6 that is installed will be used.
Static:
CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0018-ABCDEFFEDCBA
The above will attempt to use 1.6.0_18 if it is installed. Be aware, however, that Sun introduced some changes in security which can cause the latest version installed to be used and not the one you have chosen. To the best of my knowledge this behavior has since been changed again so that you can now use static versioning again. This means that the exact behavior the end user exhibits may vary depending on which version is currently installed.
In general, Sun has changed the behavior several times since 1.6.0_10 was released, so it will take some trial and error testing to get what you want. This really has nothing to do with Oracle Forms, so we have little control over it. :(
Here is some more info which may help:

  • Endless Checking for Latest version

    JavaWebStart works fine when used anywhere within the network. However, we we logon to the network using a dial-up connection, java webstart never seems to pass the Checking for latest version screen. This screen runs for as long as the dial up connection stays up. Has anyone seen this type of behavior? Another interestin fact is that webstart's examples run fine with our dial connection. It is slow but it works. Here is my jnlp

    Our team ran into the same problem trying to connect to one of our test web servers, when the client ran Webstart using JRE 1.4 from behind a certain evil
    Proxy Server, Webstart would get stuck in the "Checking for latest version". Note that this only happens when behind the proxy, everything runs fine with
    a direct connection and users behind the proxy using JRE 1.3 also did not experience any problems. We later discovered that Webstart would complete the downloading of
    updates and run our app, only it would take 40 minutes to complete (left it running overnight). The strange thing was that this problem only
    occured when connecting to certain web servers of ours while there was absolutely no problem whatsover when connecting to other servers.
    What we found was that when Webstart made a request (HEAD and later GET), the server would send the header/file back correctly. But we did notice
    one thing. For the servers that were "working" we noticed that it would send the response and then close the connection. But for servers that
    weren't working we discovered that it would send back the response but it WOULD NOT immediately close the connection. Instead the connection is
    kept alive until a few minutes later.
    The solution was that for web servers that were working, we had the KEEP CONNECTION ALIVE option OFF. (In the case of IIS its the Keep-Alive checkbox).
    On web servers that weren't working (Webstart getting stuck checking for updates) the Keep alive option was ON. That was the problem. Once we disabled
    the Keep-Alive option on all our web servers everything was fine and users behind the proxy, using webstart with jre 1.4 were once again able to
    Check for Updates quickly and proceed to launch the app, whereas before it would take 40 minutes to Check for Updates and load the app because for
    each request it had to wait for the connection to time out (900 seconds) before the next request could be made.
    Well thats what we found in our research. We were pulling our hair over this for nearly a week. Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    security: Adding certificate in Deployment session certificate store
    security: Added certificate in Deployment session certificate store

    Is there something wrong with the "Deployment session certificate store" in the first instance? Treid un/reinstalling the JRE but it didn;t fix things.

    Regenerate what certificate? The applet is unsigned.
    Plus other people with the same IE level and same JRE level do not have this problem, which leads me to think it is something specific to this user, like maybe the deployment session certificate store. Is that a file someplace we can like delete to start clean?

  • Compatibility Latest JRE with Forms version 10.1.2.3

    Dear Experts,
    We all know Form version 10.1.2.3 support JRE version 1.6.XX. But oracle stops this version and upgrade to 1.7.XX and latest is JRE 7u17.

  • Cant Open Oracle Apps 11i Forms after installing latest JRE

    We are currently on Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2. I had to install latest JRE 1.6 Update23 to be able to work on BI Publisher Templates and now I can't open any of the Oracle Forms under eBusiness Suite. IE just crashes, doesnt show any message on JInitiator Console either. Same issue with Mozilla Firefox browser.
    FYI..I have a colleague who is able to work on both...BI Publisher Template Mgr and Oracle Fin Forms with latest JRE installed..So dont think its a server issue, its just my client setup. Any help is appreciated.
    Thx

    What is the difference between your client and your colleague client (in terms of client OS, browser, installed applications, ..etc)?
    Do you meet the requirements in (Recommended Browsers for Oracle E-Business Suite 11i [ID 285218.1])?
    Can you reproduce the issue with Firefox?
    Please see if these docs help.

  • Recommended Latest JRE Update to Install

    I'm aware the latest available Java JRE is [Version 6 Update 16 (6u16)|http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp], and is downloadable here.
    However, if relying solely upon the target system's installed Java JRE's updater [Control Panel > "Update" tab > "Update Now" button], the latest is v1.6.0_15 (6u15). This is also corroborated when the [online web updater|http://www.java.com/en/download/dt_verify.jsp?plugin=true&latest=true&users_jre=1.6.0_15] is run, where there it states:
    Congratulations!
    You have the recommended Java installed (Version 6 Update 15).
    I have reviewed the [release notes|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/6u16.html] of Version 6 Update 16 (6u16), and do see the following there:
    Bug Fixes
    This feature release does not contain any new fixes for security vulnerabilities to its previous release, Java SE 6 Update 15. Users who have Java SE 6 Update 15 have the latest security fixes and do not need to upgrade to this release to be current on security fixes.
    Based on all the above, I clearly get it:
    Available latest................v1.6.0_16 (6u16)
    Recommended latest.......v1.6.0_15 (6u15)
    However, now my question: How strongly is recommended, recommended? The reason I ask is there's a software update monitoring tool I use (I'd rather not say which) that dispositions Java JRE as out-of-date based on the available versus the recommended version.
    I'd very much appreciate hearing some qualified opinions as to which is best to base latest determination upon. I plan on suggesting to the publisher of this monitoring tool that they incorporate an additional "recommended" version distinction in order to keep ALL users fully advised, as opposed to choosing only one or the other. But absent that, and a choice had to be made, which would be advised.
    Thanks in advance for your input.

  • JWS Hangs "Checking for Latest Version"

    Dear Colleagues,
    We�re facing up a problem with the following situation:
    the "checking for latest version" process seems to be hanged, or better, very, very slow.
    We just got answer after more than 10 minutes in average.
    The environment:
    Apache 2.0.54
    JRE 1.4
    Any suggestion?
    Tks.

    Sounds like the delay may be due to searching the
    jnlp cache. Restrict the cache size and see ehat
    happens.That's not it. I tried it even though the cache is empty except for my app and it didn't help. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

    If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
    But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
    Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while
