Internet With OBJECT/EMBED Tag

Deploying Java Plug-in with Internet Explorer (IE)

Recommendations

The following is recommeded for long-term reliability:

• For the codebase attribute in the OBJECT tag, it is recommended that you use the .exe version, rather than the .cab version, on java.sun.com. That .cab version on java.sun.com may point to an updated version that you do not want to use for your deployment.
• It is also recommend that you create your own download site for the versions you need so that you do not rely on java.sun.com. Downloads on java.sun.com frequently change.

These are the same recommendations as for the Intranet environment.
