Oracle February 2013 CPU for Java SE on e-business

Hi,
I am a bit confused about these java updates again!
Is this new & accelerated CPU for desktops and application as well? We are on R12.1.3 and I am not sure where this CPU needs to go.
When I did java -version on the apps tier, I got:
java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)
A quick response will be appreciated please. Thanks

As I stated above, on the apps-tier when I do:

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)
For this CPU and others like that, does that mean i should update the apps tier java version to say e,g java version "1.7.0_13" (the latest). And the client desktop (Windows 7) to be running 1.7.0_13 as well?Correct.
Any notes that talks about the desktop and apps -tier java version?It is all in one doc which is referenced above -- Deploying Sun JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 393931.1]
Once you configure the JRE plug-in on the server, the clients will be prompted to download and install it once they access the application for the first time.
Please make sure you meet the minimum requirements in (Recommended Browsers for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 389422.1]).
Thanks,

Oracle To End Support for Java 7

No More Free Updates for Java 7 after April 2015
Users must sign long-term support deals or migrate to Java 8 to avoid 'enormous headache and disruption to millions of applications'
Public updates for Java 7 -- including bug and security fixes -- will end this month, a situation that one security advocate says could impact millions of applications.
"As outlined in the Oracle JDK [Java Development Kit] Support Roadmap, after April 2015, Oracle will not post further updates of Java SE [Standard Edition] 7 to its public download sites," Oracle's Java SE Support Roadmap states. "Customers who need continued access to critical bug fixes and security fixes as well as general maintenance for Java SE 7 or older versions can get long-term support through Oracle Java SE Support. The process of migrating users from Java 7 to Java 8 through the auto update feature is expected to take place after the January 2015 CPU release."
[ The art of programming is changing rapidly. We help you navigate what's hot in programming and what's going cold and give insights into the technologies that are changing how developers work. | Keep up with hot topics in app dev with InfoWorld's Application Development newsletter. ]
Oracle released Java SE 7 in July 2011; Java SE 8 was released in March 2014. Java, particularly on the client side, has been beset by security issues in recent years. But Oracle has taken many steps to address the issues and stressed that most of the problems dated back several years, before Oracle took over Java from Sun in 2010.
Still, the impact of Oracle's cessation of public updates could be severe, an official at security firm Waratek, believes. Oracle's "rapid" end-of-life schedule for Java versions is great for innovation and language evolution, Waratek CTO John Matthew Holt said in an emailed statement. "However, there is a dangerous tradeoff; now millions of Java 7 applications will have to defend themselves against code-level vulnerabilities without the benefit of future fixes." Holt advocates either upgrades to Java 8 or use of Java Run-time Application Self Protection (RASP) technologies (Waratek is a RASP vendor).
This week's security update from Oracle, meanwhile, marks the "proverbial 'end of the road' for Java 7 application security, Holt said. "After today, the only version of the Java Platform which will receive public security updates is Java 8. This is huge news, and it is going to cause enormous headache and disruption to millions of application owners around the world."
Contacted Tuesday afternoon for a comment on the end of public updates for Java SE 7, by late evening Oracle had not yet responded.
The April 2015 Critical Patch Update released Tuesday by Oracle provides 98 new fixes for security issues across a wide range of product families, said Eric Maurice in an Oracle blog post. These range from Oracle Database to Oracle Fusion Middleware, Java SE, and MySQL. Fourteen of the security fixes are for Java SE.

Java 7 has already been dead for quite a while. While you could still use it for Java apps on your system, Apple blocked its use in browsers long ago. You have to install version 8 if you need Java support for the web.

Oracle database 11g certification for Java developer

Hello,
I'm Java developer, OCPJP 6 ( Oracle Certified Professional, Java Programmer +6+ ) and
I decided to pass exams: 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 to get OCA ( Oracle Database +11g+ Administrator Certified Associate ) certificate,
but I need some advice, maybe i should seek other certificate, that would be more valuable for Java developer, than OCA.
Thanks for advice.

The answer of whether a particular certification is valuable depends on you, not the tests themselves. The Oracle Certified Master for example is an extremely prestigious certification, and I have considered seeking it at some point in the future to improve my professional credentials. However, the same certification would have absolutely no value to my wife, because she's a homemaker with no interest or intent of ever working with Oracle.
Using an example a little closer to yours, only reversed --- I work as a DBA and PL/SQL developer. On several occasions I have dabbled with Java, and took a couple of classes when I worked for Oracle. I could code in Java if I had to, but wouldn't really be good without a lot of practice. However, I've never really had a sufficient need in my work to dig in and really practice enough to use it. I considered going for the Oracle Java certifications as a means of kick-starting that and getting to the point where it was really a viable option in my development. Ultimately I decided not to because I've been working with Oracle for better than fifteen years and there has never been an occasion where I really felt a need to know Java. If I were to spend a bunch of time improving my Java skills just for the certification, there's no guarantee I would ever use them after that.
Coming back to you -- if you already need SQL and DBA skills in your work, then those certifications should be of value to you immediately. If you think that you might work (or want to work) more with SQL and DBA-level skills in the future, then they should be of value to you in the future. If you won't use the skills now or ever, then the exams do nothing but add a line to your resume (which still has value, but you must determine how much).

When does Oracle stop providing CPU for 11gR1?

Oracle will stopping provide CPU for 10.2 in July 2011. We are debating whether we should upgrade 10.2 to 11gR1 or 11gR2.
11gR2 requires a Kernal Version released in 2008, but the current server OS only has the 2006 version. SA wants to wait for the OS patch. Then, the only option for us DBA would be to upgrade to 11gr1 which is supported by the current OS. It makes sense if Oracle provides CPU for 11gR1 for a while. I have been trying to find out the de-supporting time, but to no avail. If this information is available, please help me out.
Thanks,
Jasmine

I am sorry I did not file a SR for this question.SO you turn to the community rather than the source for the CPU to get an answer about the CPU?
Not a problem, but perhaps not optimal to my way of thinking.
If you have a service contract, you normally can open any number of service requests without additional fees. And questions like you have are legitimate. (Although the Oracle Support community does respond to these questions a LOT faster than to SRs.)

Oracle XML SQL Utility for Java ..

I installed the Oracle SQL utility. But when i give a command on client side like
C:\>java OracleXML
it gives an error OracleXML class not found.
Can anybody help how to run this utility.
Thanks
Shrikant

You have to make sure that the oraclexmlsql.jar is in your java CLASSPATH.
Assume you have oraclexmlsql.jar in C:\temp
On NT, you would do something like:
C:\> set CLASSPATH=C:\temp\oraclexmlsql.jar;%CLASSPATH%
C:\> java OracleXML
and it will work.

ANN: XML Class Generator for Java Available

The Oracle XMCL Class Generator for Java is now available as an
initial beta release on the Oracle Technology Network at
http://technet.oracle.com. Select 'xml' from the Technology menu.
The XML Class Generator will generate a set of Java source files
based on an input DTD. The generated Java source files can then
be used to construct, optionally validate, and print a XML
document that is compliant to the DTD specified. This is an early
beta release and has the following features:
* Creates Java Classes from DTDs to enable the programmatic
construction of XML documents.
* Supports validation mode to assist debugging.
* Works with the Oracle XML Parser in Java.
* Creates documents conforming to the W3C XML 1.0
Recommendation.
* Supports creating documents in the following encodings:
UTF-8
UTF-16
ISO-10646-UCS-2
ISO-10646-UCS-4

Java 2013-004 versus Java 7 from Oracle

Back when Apple annoucned it would no longer update Java, I followed suggestions to install Java directly from Oracle. (Not sure of the version then, but the installation is now current on version 7.x running on OS X 10.7.5.) However, software update continues to offer updates for Java from Apple, most recently Java 2013-004. Why? What should be done about this?

So it's fine to have them both installed?
Yes. They do different things.
Can you provide any links that go into this distinction further?
java.com and the Apple Support downloads page.

After installing "Java for OS X 2013-004" update, Java apps don't work anymore as expected

After installing "Java for OS X 2013-004" update, Java apps don't work anymore as expected.
Windows of Swing apps don't display all GUI elements.
After replacing System/Library/Java from a Time MAchine Backup, everything works normal again.
Is this update corrupted?

"avoid using Java in a web browser at all,..."
Good advice.
"...old Java apps/applets that aren't written to modern specs ..."
The stand-alone Java Swing applications, that don't display their GUI elements after installing this update, have been written according to modern standards. With Oracle Java7, and with Java6 from Apple prior to this update, they run absolutely flawlessly.
This is absolutely Apple's fault.

Issue in Oracle 11g Database Change Notification for Java application

Hi,
I am trying to use Oracle's Database Change Notification in Java application.
I followed the sample application (+DBChangeNotification.java+ , Example 29-2), provided in the following link:
+[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/java.111/b31224/dbmgmnt.htm#CHDEJECF]+
I am able to see that the Registration of the SQL query is successful.
But, when I do changes to the table registered, notifications are not received in the Listener class (+DCNDemoListener.java+).
Ideally, the method DCNDemoListener.onDatabaseChangeNotification() should be invoked on any insert/update to the registered table. But this method is not getting invoked.
The execution has stopped in the following line of DBChangeNotification.java Class.
this.wait();
+==> The application was WAITing indefinitely in this line, as the NOTIFY() from DCNDemoListener.java was not executed.+
I am using VPN to connect to Oracel server. Remote Oracle Server is protected my firewall. Is this the reason for not sending the notifications from Oracle server?
The version of software used are given below:
Oracle Client - Oracle 11.1.0
JDK - 1.6
Oracle JDBC Driver - ojdbc6.jar
Can someone help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Sam

ORACLE XML PARSER FOR JAVA FOR AIX

Hi people!
I'm looking for the Oracle XML Parser for Java 9.0.2.0.0C, my 9iAS is BI Installation 9.0.2.3, where can I get it? In the Downloads Section there is only the version for 10g, and the existing versions for 9i are not for AIX (my OS is AIX 5.2L).
Thanks.

Thanks for your help, I navigate through this link and, even it shows a table where appears the release for AIX (9.2.0.6.0), when I get to http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xdk/software/prod/utilsoft_java.htm
it shows me only downloads for Sun, Linux and HP-UX, but not for AIX.
Has the version for AIX being deprecated or something like that?

Oracle XML Parser for Java

Does the latest release of the Oracle XML Parser for Java support JDK 1.2.2?
I have an application which makes use of the XML Parser which runs fine with JDK 1.1.7.
But the application crashes with the use of JDK 1.2.2 .
Any insight into this is appreciated.

The Oracle XSQL Servlet makes extensive use of the Oracle XML Parser for Java V2 as well as its XSLT Engine and runs without issue under 1.1.8 and 1.2.2.

Upgrading Oracle XML Parser for Java v9.0.4 with Oracle Applications 11i

Guys, I applied ATG.PF.H.RUP4. In postinstall steps it is mentioned,Upgrading Oracle XML Parser for Java v9.0.4 with Oracle Applications 11i(doc-271148.1)
which says after applying patch 4038964 do the following--
AUTOCONFIG ENABLED APPLICATIONS ENVIRONMENT
If the Oracle E-Business Suite configuration files are maintained using the AutoConfig infrastructure, proceed with the following:
1. Run the AutoConfig utility.
2. Go to [JAVA_TOP].
3. Run the unzip -l appsborg2.zip | grep 9.0.4 command. If there is a file named as .xdkjava_version_9.0.4.0.0_production, which indicates that XML Parser for Java v9.0.4 is installed correctly as part of appsborg2.zip. Otherwise, run ADAdmin to regenerate the appsborg2.zip file.
4. Restart the application tier server processes such that the new version of Oracle XML Parser for Java will take effect.
but actually the patch is already applied- 4038964. How do i verify if i need to do these steps or not.
The xmlparserv2-904.zip file is already there in wrapper.classpath. of jserv.properties, forms.properties. So i think i dont need to do these steps.

unzip -l appsborg2.zip | grep 9.0.4
