Error description

  • Error Message: When trying to launch Java using JNI_CreateJavaVM
on AIX the process hangs in an infinite loop.
.
Stack Trace: N/A
.

Local fix

  • EITHER:
1) Copy /<jre>/lib/<arch>/j9vm/libjvm.so to
/<jre>/lib/<arch>/j9vm/libjvm.a
OR
2) Set LIBPATH=/<jre>/lib/<arch>/classic
Where <jre> is the path to the JRE install location, and <arch>
is ppc or ppc64 depending on architecture.

Problem summary

  • The problem occurs when AIX returns the symbolically linked
libjvm.a (which the application was compiled against) when the
JVM requests libjvm.so

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
6.0.0 SR12
6.0.1 SR4
7.0.0 SR3
.
The JVM has been updated to mark when it has requested libjvm.so
and will no longer enter an infinite loop.

Temporary fix
