Apple just released a fix for the broken Java after the 10.3.9 update. This time, not only you have some stuff to download but there's some command line to type (SIGH!). The good point is, it's only for users who happen to have multiple Java apps open simultaneously. You have then to restore the Java Shared Archive. The steps, different if you're using Java 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 are detailed in the following link at Apple website.
It seems Apple has put together as quick a fix as they could, as the Terminal work necessary for a full restore is not as elegant as usual. Now, I've got some command line (ooch) to do, I must leave you ;) lpm
