Our application contains some legacy code that still relies on cfgrid. We’re finding that our end users can no longer use these pages once they have upgraded java. When they try to use these pages with Java 7.51, the users receive the following general exception:
“Name: coldfusion.applets.CFGridApplet
SecurityException: Missing required Permissions manifest attribute in main jar: http://[host]/CFIDE/classes/cfapplets.jar”.
Has there been a new cfapplets.jar released with an updated manifest for the new Java security? If there hasn’t been one, were is the best place to check for updates of this nature?
I’m aware of the ability to add our sites to the exception site list in java as outlined here: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/java_blocked.xml
Having the user down grade will also work as a temporary solution as well.
The only server environment I tested on was CF 9,0,2,282541
