I don't know, but probably worth trying. The JNI API is not binary-compatible between 32-bit and 64-bit JDK's, which is probably why your applications don't like the 64-bit Java on AIX.
Douglas From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Date: 11/21/2008 10:27 AM Subject: [LINUX-390] different take on Java 6 question found the IBM link for jdk downloads - now a different question. Will the 31-bit jdk work - and work well - in a 64-bit linux environment. We run the 32-bit java on 64-bit AIX without any difficulty since quite a few of our apps refuse to work with the 64-bit java. Don't have any experience in the linux world with this, though.
