I’m pleased to let you know that the latest Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0_30 (a.k.a. JRE 6u30-b12) is now certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i and 12.
What’s new in Java 1.6.0_30? See the 1.6.0_30 Update Release Notes for details about what has changed in this release. This release is available for download from the usual Sun channels and through the ‘Java Automatic Update’ mechanism.
Worried about the ‘mismanaged session cookie’ issue?
No need to worry — it’s fixed. To recap: JRE releases 1.6.0_18 through 1.6.0_22 had issues with mismanaging session cookies that affected some users in some circumstances.
The fix for those issues was first included in JRE 1.6.0_23. These fixes will carry forward and continue to be fixed in all future JRE releases. In other words, if you wish to avoid the mismanaged session cookie issue, you should apply any release after JRE 1.6.0_22: for example, JRE 1.6.0_23, 1.6.0_24, 1.6.0_25, and 1.6.0_26, and higher.
All JRE releases are certified with EBS upon releaseOur standard policy is that all E-Business Suite customers can apply all JRE updates to end-user desktops from JRE 1.6.0_03 and higher. We test all new JRE releases in parallel with the JRE development process, so all JRE releases are considered certified with the E-Business Suite on the same day that they’re released by our Java team. You do not need to wait for a certification announcement before applying new JRE releases to your EBS users’ desktops. If you wish, your desktop administrators can enable the Java “Automatic updates” option on your end-users’ desktops.
