PM32555: LIBJVM.SO CAN BE FOUND IN MULTIPLE DIRECTORIES WITHIN THE JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Beginning with Java5, libjvm.so can be found within the
  directories   /usr/lpp/java/J5.0/bin/classic  or
  /usr/lpp/java/J5.0/bin/j9vm
    Under Java 1.4, the dll only existed within the directory
  /usr/lpp/java/J1.4/bin/classic
    It is unclear which dll customers should use: our
  recommendation is to use those stored within
  /usr/lpp/java/J5.0/bin/j9vm
  Two copies also exist within Java5 64 bit, as well as in
  Java6 31bit and 64bit in the /bin/j9vm and /bin/classic
  directories.
  

Local fix

• use the files within the /usr/lpp/java/J5.0/bin/j9vm directory
  

Problem summary

• The Java 5 sdk is shipped with multiple redirectors for
  libjvm.so, these are for custom launchers that rely on a hard
  coded relative path for libjvm.so in the JDK
  

Problem conclusion

• IBM customers can use any of the libjvm.so libraries.
  

Temporary fix
