The following bug fix is included in this release:

Area: deploy/plugin
Synopsis: regression - java_arguments not accepted after update to 7u65

IANA Data 2014c

JDK 7u65 contains IANA time zone data version 2014c. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software.

New Features and Changes

New Java Control Panel option to disable sponsors

Currently, to disable sponsor offers at the time of installation, the user can de-select the option during installation or can pass SPONSORS=0 as a commandline option.

In this release, a new Java Control Panel(JCP) option to disable sponsors is available. To use this option, go to JCP's "Advanced" tab, and check or uncheck "Suppress sponsor offers when updating 
Java".

This option is applicable to 32 and 64 bit Windows operating systems.
New JAXP processing limit property - maxElementDepth

A new property, maxElementDepth, is added to provide applications the ability to set limit on maximum element depth in an xml file that they parse. This may be helpful for applications that may use 
too much resources when processing an xml file with excessive element depth.

    Name: http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/maxElementDepth
    Definition: Limit the maximum element depth
    Value: A positive integer. 0 is treated as no limit. Negative numbers are treated as 0.
    Defaule value: 0
    System property: jdk.xml.maxElementDepth

For more details, see Processing Limits from JAXP tutorial trail.

See 8031541 (not public).
Bug Fixes

This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. For more information, see Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory.

For a list of bug fixes included in this release, see JDK 7u65 Bug Fixes page.

The following are some of the notable bug fixes in this release:

Area: client-libs/AWT
Synopsis: Using RMI from a restricted environment may cause a NullPointerException.

If an application uses RMI and runs in a restricted environment (ie. Java Plugin, Java Web Start), it may not work. In particular, if you run a UI from an RMI callback, a NullPointerException is 
likely to be thrown.

See 8019274.

Area: other-libs/corba
Synopsis: org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass loading no longer uses context class loader

The system property org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass is used to configure the system-wide/singleton ORB. The handling of this system property was changed in the 7u55 release to require that the system 
wide/singleton ORB be visible to the system class loader.

In this release, the handling of this system property has been reverted to match the behavior found in JDK versions prior to 7u55 release, i.e. the singleton ORB is once again located using the 
thread context class loader of the first thread, to call the no-argument ORB.init method. The change is made to support applications which depend on this behavior.

Note that this change is applicable to 8u20, 7u65, 6u85 and 5.0u75 releases. For JDK 9, the new behavior, where the system wide/singleton ORB needs to be visible to the system class loader, will 
continue.

See 8046603.
Known Issues

Area: xml/jax-ws
Synopsis: JAF initialization in SAAJ clashing with the one in javax.mail

After initialization of SAAJ components, the javax.mail library may fail to work under certain circumstances, which in turn could break the javax.mail's JAF setup.

A possible workaround is to re-add the javax.mail handler before using javax.mail API:
MailcapCommandMap mailMap = (MailcapCommandMap) CommandMap.getDefaultCommandMap();
mailMap.addMailcap("multipart/mixed;;x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.multipart_mixed");

See 8043129.
