Java 1.6.0_17 has several of security issues, so you probably do want to update java, BUT you need to make sure you have applied the latest ColdFusion hotfixes first because Java 1.7 support was only added a few months ago via hotfixes.
You don't want to overwrite the C:\ColdFusion\runtime\jre JVM, you want to install the jvm in its own place, and then update the JVM path in your ColdFusion administrator or jvm.config file. -- Pete Freitag - Adobe Community Professional http://foundeo.com/ - ColdFusion Consulting & Products http://hackmycf.com - Is your ColdFusion Server Secure? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubESB87vl5U - FuseGuard your CFML in 10 minutes On Tue, Jul 2, 2013 at 3:41 PM, Eugene Colucci <ecolu...@buffalo.edu> wrote: > > I currently use ColdFusion 9,0,1,274733 Standard, stand-alone edition on > Windows Server 2008 R2 with Java Version 1.6.0_17 from Java Vendor Sun > Microsystems Inc. with Java Home located at C:\ColdFusion\runtime\jre.
