Install JDK on the Client

The client system is defined as the system where you execute the JServer tools, such as loadjava, deployejb. You can use the same system for both your client and server.

The client system requires JDK 1.1.6 or later. Solaris 2.6 bundles JDK 1.1.3, which does not work with our samples. Verify that your PATH includes JDK 1.1.6 or later and does not include JDK 1.1.3. To confirm what version of the JDK you are using, perform the following:

$ which java
/usr/local/packages/jdk1.1.6/bin/java 
$ which javac 
/usr/local/packages/jdk1.1.6/bin/javac 
$ java -version
java version "1.1.6"

If JDK 1.1.6 does not appear within these commands, either put your JDK 1.1.6 installation at the start of PATH or remove the 1.1.3 installation. In addition, check your CLASSPATH for references to the incorrect JDK version.

Note: All Oracle8i Java-based client tools work in the Java 2 environment.
