Comments
Fix Ready - added critical request Critical Request Template Justification : Regression of JDK-8016649. in verifyMultihost or currently verifyApplicationLibraryAllowableCodebase we are using getLoadedResource and casting it to cache entry which is throwing an exception. Instead we can use DownloadEngine.getCachedJarFile which works both on cache enabled and disabled case. The bug is breaking our verify Java applet! 7-na - code implementation is different in 7u and not affected. Risk Analysis : Limited Webrev Pointer : https://sthinfra10.se.oracle.com/cru/CR-JDK6UCPU-200 Testing done/to-be-done : Tested manually. } ---- Pending decision.
