Internal: Configuring IDL to use non-default version of JRE with IDL-Java Bridge on Solaris (Sparc)
Help Article Update 2

Topic:
A different release version of Java can by used by the IDL-Java import bridge than is the system default or the one that comes the IDL installation. The version of JRE to be used by the IDL-Java import bridge can be specified by defining the system environment variables:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
IDLJAVAB_LIB_LOCATION
to the directory that contains the required bit-version of "libjvm.so".Discussion:
For example, after installing both 32-bit and then the 64-bit JDK/JRE version 1.6.0_24 on a 64-bit Solaris 10 Sparc system (JRE v1.6.0_16 configured as the system default), the environment in which IDL 8.0.1 (which includes JRE version 1.5.0_22) runs was modified to use newly installed version of the JRE.
The following illustrates the environment configuration described above (tcsh shell used in this example):
(52)% java -version
java version "1.5.0_22"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_22-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_22-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
(53)% cd /usr/local/itt/idl/idl80/idlde/bin.solaris2.sparc/jre/bin
(54)% ./java -version
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode)
(55)% source /usr/local/itt/idl/idl80/bin/idl_setup
(56)% cd /usr/local/itt/idl/idl80/resource/bridges/import/java/examples
(57)% ls ./arraydemo.pro
arraydemo.pro
(58)% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_24/jre/lib/sparc/server
(59)% setenv IDLJAVAB_LIB_LOCATION /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_24/jre/lib/sparc/server
