Description
|
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.6.0_10
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
customer Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
deployment tools's isPlugin2() function returns incorrect value. It can return 'true' even is a new plugin (1.6.0_10) is not installed.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Install JRE 1.6.0_10 on the client.
2. Visit html page (see source code area). Message box reports that plugin2 is installed. That is correct.
2. Uninstall jRE 1.6.0_10 from the client. Note that the deployment toolkit does not get uninstalled - it can still be see in the browser's add-ins.
3. Visit the html page again. This time, the message box tells you plugin2 is present even when it is not.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
deployJava.isPlugin2() should return false if 1.6.0_10+ is not installed on the client.
ACTUAL -
deployJava.isPlugin2() returns true if 1.6.0_10+ has *ever* been installed on the client, even if it isn't currently installed. This may actually be a result of the deployment toolkit remaining installed even after 1.6.0_10+ is removed.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

looking at the javascript, I believe this was fixed as a result of earlier fixes.
need to confirm. (not including safari question, that is unrelated )
