I also manage manually with generic symlinks. I do this for Apache webserver as well.

(SMP/E needs to know.) Dammit! The path to Java changes with any z/OS release and/or any Java release. I need continually to add to my PATH variable to keep up. And there's nothing an ISV can supply in JCL samples for SMP/E's SMPJHOME; the example in the SMP/E Reference is woefully outdated. This makes as little sense as if programmers were required to code "//SYSLIB DD DSN=SYS1.ZOSV2R2.MACLIB". I'm inclined to submit an RFE for either a utility to find Java or for IBM's supplying a usable symbolic link to a preferred Java. Retroactive; I can't wait for everyone to be on z/OS 2.3 Any suggestions on form or rationale for such an RFE?
