Hi,
we have a Java Webstart application that's been working fine for a
few years. This morning I installed the new update 2 and now
authentication doesn't work anymore. Here's the problem:
This has been working for years on Mac, Windows and Linux. On
another Mac, where I haven't yet installed the update, it's still
working. I've read the release note and haven't at first glance
noticed anything that seemed relevant. Any ideas?
We believe that this is a difference between J2SE 5.0 and Java SE 6.
On 64-bit Intel machines, all Web Start launching goes though the Java
SE 6 deploy.jar and javaws.jar, even if it is targeting an older JVM
and set of runtime classes. On 32-bit capable hardware all Web Start
launching goes though the J2SE 5.0 deploy.jar and javaws.jar.
In the J2SE 5.0 Web Start classes, changes were made to how resources
are loaded from the Web Start cache, which we integrated directly. If
possible, can someone test on Windows to see if this issue reproduces
with the latest version of J2SE 5.0 (not Java SE 6).
Thanks,
