JAI, Java3D and JOGL 1.1.1 (the old one) where redeployed without signature. Nothing really important. The problem was the lack of communication/warning since many third party apps still used the old stuff. since all of them used some kind of native lib it ended up in a security exception for applications using the mentioned libs.
in other words it wasn't nice from oracle to do this but i don't believe it was intentional. best regards, michael On Sep 23, 1:24 am, opinali <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thursday, September 22, 2011 1:33:08 PM UTC-4, fabrizio.giudici wrote: > > > I add that JWS is good, but it's always a bad idea, for production, to > > rely upon artifacts not under your control. > > Very true, at least for intranet apps or pure-Java extensions.
