How to Change the Policy for Applying Patches (Web Browser)

If you want to configure your system to apply some nonstandard patches during an update operation, you must change the policy for applying patches.

By default, only patches that are associated with the standard, rebootafter, or reconfigafter properties can be applied by an update operation.

If you change your policy from the default, Sun makes no guarantees that the patches apply correctly to your system or that your system will function properly.

For more information about the policy for applying patches, see Customizing the Policy for Applying Patches.
