Upgraded to Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_02-b09) now errors on 2 applications

Question

After downloading the update this morning I am encountering errors on two Cisco device applications. Both were working this morning.
On a PIX PDM I get this when trying to start:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission java.version read)
     at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
     at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPropertyAccess(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.System.getProperty(Unknown Source)
     at com.cisco.pdm.e.c.q(Unknown Source)
     at com.cisco.pdm.e.c.h(Unknown Source)
     at com.cisco.pdm.a.byte(Unknown Source)
     at com.cisco.pdm.PDMApplet.start(Unknown Source)
     at com.cisco.nm.util.sgz.Env.start(Env.java:37)
     at com.cisco.nm.util.sgz.Loader.start(Loader.java:109)
     at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
I can't seem to find any place to check that access error.
Also on a Cisco ACS server I am unable to access some screens with a Page not available error.
Any suggestions on what to check for would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Hello,
Here's a work around. It requires Microsoft Internet Explorer. This was tested with IE v 6.0.2900.2180:
From the IE Tools Pulldown choose "Internet Options" then the "Advanced" tab.
Find the section called "Java (Sun)" and un-check "Use JRE 1.5...."
Find the section called "Microsoft VM" and make sure "JIT compiler for virtual machine..." is checked.
Restart IE.
I think this causes IE to use the Microsoft Java VM instead of the Sun plugin.
The problem with this workaround is that it forces you to use Internet Explorer.
Someone please post a note when the bug is fixed.
Thanks.
