Description of problem:
User reported OO Base performing slow after we pushed java-1.6.0-sun updates.  I rolled the Java update back and Base is now behaving normally.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Err, when we said lets have a bug for this. I assumed that we were talking about getting a bug logged against the jre seeing as it seemed to be tracked down to a specific jre update triggering it

Comment 5 jiri vanek 2011-04-13 11:44:33 UTC
This is very tricky issue. It is spread also over at least ubuntu and debian. But not over windows. It seams that it is not OOo bug, but really depends on sun jdk update 24. Also it seams that broken component is JDBC. 
For now I have found no solution in repackaging not even some hack customer's machine.

Because we have no access to sun source codes, it can be impossible to fix it. 
As tested on openjdk, everything runs ok. We will see  how Oracle will deal with it.

Comment 13 jiri vanek 2011-05-13 11:10:02 UTC
As downgrade is not possible, closing

Comment 14 jiri vanek 2011-05-17 13:17:44 UTC
New sun java (25) have been released by oracle, and will be packaged asap. Although this bug is not mentioned directly in release reference, we can guess that it was fixed.
