How to Add Manifest Entries into Custom Jar Files Such as jacob.jar or Jar Files Containing Icons (Doc ID 1583119.1)

Last updated on FEBRUARY 14, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Forms - Version 11.1.1.6.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
 

Goal

With  the release of JRE 1.7.0_25 permissions and codebase attributes are expected to be included in the JAR Manifest File. Please see <Note 1563023.1>

Oracle provided jar files such as frmall.jar, frmwebutil.jar etc are included with these manifest entries through <Patch 17448420 >.  The manifest fix is included in 11.1.2.2.

If on 11.1.1.4 the manifest fix for Oracle provided jar files is in <Patch 17974937>.

Custom jar files such as jacob.jar, jar files containing icons, or others may not have these attributes included in the  jar files  so this note describes how to update the manifest.

Warning:  Oracle currently does not support re-signing or altering in any way the jar files provided by Oracle such as frmall.jar, frmwebutil.jar, etc.
