Upgrade or remove java components installed in $ORACLE_HOME

user3954650

Is it possible to upgrade or remove the java components installed in $ORACLE_HOME (j2ee, javavm, jdbc, jdev, jdk, jlib)? Our security department is pushing to have all occurrences of java either upgraded to java 8 or removed, if not in use. For this particular database, ojvm is not installed. The version installed with 11.2.0.4 is java 5.

./java -version

java version "1.5.0_51"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_51-b10)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_51-b10, mixed mode)

Can a moderator please move this to the Oracle DB forum?

OP:  In short it's highly recommended not to do this.  I'd contact Oracle support for their official recommendation on what to do here.

Agreed. This is enough for me to go back to security and tell them to file a variance for it. Thanks.
