I installed Oracle JRE 7 (not JDK) for MacOSX but I can't locate where the JCE jurisdiction files are placed.

I need to replace them with the unlimited strength version.

I've installed the Oracle JDK, and if it helps, the directory in my case was /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_09.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security/. Your mileage may vary, in which case just run find . -name local_policy.jar and see what it turns up.
