Nation,

I am building a 10.7 image and I have a timekeeping web application that has to use a particular version of Java: Java SE 6 Version 1.6.0_26 . The newer version of Java Apple pushes out will not work with this pivotal system. Is there a way to "roolback" to an earlier version of Java in 10.7?

You'd think with the latest security vulns the app vendor would update their app to use the latest version of Java...

@tyler, not Kronos is it? Kronos working for us with Lion in Safari. Ours says it requires older version too.

And actually in doing some digging the release of 1.6.0_26 (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4593) pre-dates the release of Lion. You're likely not going to find a release for Lion. I believe 1.6.0_29 was the first release for Lion.

@Sally I am referring to Kronos. Did you make any changes for Kronos to work? What OS version are you running?

We are using the latest version of Lion Java and Safari with Kronos Workforce Central 6.1 without any issues.

Thank you for the info. This discussion is leading to an update to our Kronos software.
