- What does this mean for Oracle E-Business Suite users?
- Will EBS users be forced to upgrade to JRE 7 for Windows desktop clients?
- Will EBS users be forced to upgrade to JDK 7 for EBS application tier servers?
You do not need to wait for a certification announcement before applying new JRE 1.6 or JRE 7 releases to your EBS users’ desktops.
For EBS 11i:
- Deploying Sun JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i (Note 290807.1)
- Upgrading Developer 6i with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i (Note 125767.1)

- Reference: How To Find Oracle BI Discoverer 10g and 11g Certification Information (Document 233047.1)
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 on the JRE 6 and 7 codelines. In other words, if you wish to avoid the mismanaged session cookie issue, you should apply any release after JRE 1.6.0_22 on the JRE 6 codeline, and JRE 7u10 and later JRE 7 codeline updates.
