Secure Static Versioning (SSV) support

Static versioning allows applets to request a specific JVM version to be run under. Secure Static Versioning is used on Internet Explorer because this capability allows applets to use old security vulnerabilities on systems that have been upgraded to a new JVM.

Secure Static Versioning (SSV) support is not applicable for Next Generation plug-ins.

SSV does not function if third-party browser extensions are disabled in Internet Explorer. To enable third-party browser extensions:

  1. Open Internet Explorer.
  2. Click Tools > Internet Options.
  3. Click the Advanced tab.
  4. Select the Enable third-party browser extensions check box.

If third-party browser extensions are disabled after SSV has been used, SSV will continue to function.

Note: The Classic plug-in, sometimes referred to as the First-generation plug-in, is deprecated in Java 7 and will not be supported in future releases. Instead, use the Next-generation plug-in to run applets in the browser.
