This post covers how to upgrade to the newer Java 7.0 Update on all tier nodes.
Please note that the JRE 7.0 upgrade on the database tier is independent of the others. But if the application tier nodes are planned to be upgraded to Java 7.0, the same upgrade in the OracleAS 10.1.2 ORACLE HOME must be planned together.
