AIX 4.3.3 - JRE 1.2 incompatibility?

[Guest_imported]

Hi all, i've just installed the Java Developer Kit for Java 1.2.2 on my AIX 4.3.3 for a FW GUI
when i type lslpp -l Java here is what i have
Java.rte.bin 1.1.8
Java.rte.classes 1.1.8
Java.rte.lib 1.1.8
Java_dev2.rte.bin 1.2.2.0
Java_dev2.rte.lib 1.2.2.0

Isn't it strange that there's no classes package in 1.2?
Well doesn't matter

I followed the procedure for the installation
I unset CLASSPATH, LIBPATH, JAVA_HOME and all other JAVA variables and then i made new ones

When i try to test :"java -version" here is the result :
"java was not found in /usr/java_dev2/jre/bin/aix/native_threads/java"
"Error : wrong version of /usr/java_dev2/jre/bin/aix/native_threads/java"

Do you hava an idea what could be the cause, thx

Hi,
the problem can be, that your Java.rte.bin is low-level (1.1.8 instead of 1.2.0 or 1.2.2).
Try to upgrade them to minumun 1.2.0. Javier Granizo

Actually I heard that it also depended on the maintenance level of AIX...there were some early incomplete filesets for Java .....in some of the CDs
full sets can be downloaded from:

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/?dwzone=java

From install notes...
Java 1.1.8.10 missing from 02/2001 update CDs
The instfix -ik 4330-07_AIX_ML command will indicate that not all filesets were applied
from the 02/2001 Update CD media.
The Java 1.1.8 PTF set 10 was provided with APAR IY14739, which can be obtained
from FixDist.
