Getting security warning after Java has been updated to 7u40

[Guest]

We are using ColdFusion MX 7 on Windows server 2003, since we have updated Java to version 7u40, we get the below warning message:

This cause everytime user wants to use the application which uses Java this message pops up.

Could you please help us to fix this issue

Thank You

Are you using Java applets in your code?  Certain ColdFusion UI tags can use Java applets (I forget which CF7 ones do that), as well as some of the widgets in the CF Administrator (like the server browser).  There are no fixes for this, as CF7 is no longer supported by Adobe (and hasn't been for quite some time).  You'll need to upgrade to the latest CF versions, where the Java applets have been deprecated or replaced with JavaScript equivalents.

Hi Carl,

Thank you for quick reply. Yes we are using Java applets in our code.

Thank You

Unfortunately, you're in a tough spot.  If the Java applets are the ones that came in CF7, upgrading to CF10 may resolve that (unless the applets have been completely deprecated and removed without a JS/HTML equivalent).  If they are custom applets, you'll have to replace them with ones that are signed and supported on Java 7.

Sorry,
