Last updated on MARCH 31, 2023
Applies to:
Java SE JDK and JRE - Version 8 to 8Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
The certificates for signed applets periodically expire. This results in numerous users getting expired certificate warnings and errors when browsing web pages with those signed applets. The certificate warnings can persist in the Java Applet Cache after the certificate has been updated, and the cache needs to be cleared to resolve the problem. What options exist to update the cache on all desktop systems before rolling out a new release with an updated certificate? Specifically:
1. Is there a setting in JRE to clear java cache on all desktops on a periodic basis?
2. Is there a setting in JRE to expire/timeout the cache? Is it configurable?
3. Is the cache permanent?
4. At what intervals does JRE clear the cache?
