Java in Hardy (32-bit)

Hopeful that I could follow the same instructions as in the Jaunty thread, I allowed my primary computer running Hardy to auto-update to the latest Java version. As before, it disabled the previous version. I ran the statement sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.14/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so which had no effect. I then ran the unlink statement and re-ran the ln -s statement , also with no effect. The libjavaplugin_oji.so does exist in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Have checked about:plugins and there is no mention of Java.

The result of ls -la was:

********@******:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins$ ls -la

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-07-25 09:14 .

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2008-10-14 05:19 libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so

So...what do I need to do (or fix) that I haven't already done to enable Java in Hardy? Was it a mistake to assume that what worked in Jaunty would work in Hardy? If yes-what makes the difference? Thanks for any assistance.
