Java and crossdomain.xml

Question

Does anyone have any experience with Java pulling data from another domain? Assuming my client has a minimum of 1.6.0_10, how likely is it for it to work. I've seen some posts saying it works, then others saying it doesn't, and still others saying it's broken in the later micro-updates. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,

The crossdomain.xml in 6u10 has restricted functionality. It requires a policy allowing any code from any site to connect. See the documentation for more details.

There has been at least one case where an early access release has broken crossdomain.xml, but fixed before update was completed.
