Different Java versions

Dear All,

i have NNM 7.01 on an HPUX machine, from NNM i try to open Cisco works on another machine, Cisco works needs Java version different than NNM, is there any workaround to install both java versions in order to keep NNM featuers based on java working, and be able to start cisco works using its java
NNM uses 1.4.1_05 and cisco uses 1.4.1_02

Yes, you can instaqll both versions. During the installation, change the target directory of the product, so it will not overwrite another version and you'll have to versions installed in different palces.

Then, in each product declare different JAVA_HOME environment variable so it will point different java versions.

Alex,
this looks to be a very good solution, but the details are not clear enough.
first, i install the java version using swinstall, so i am not sure how to install in a different directory, second, i will open Netscape and mozilla, so how to tell Netscape that its java is a certain version, and tell Mozilla that its java is another one ?

thanks

Install 2 version of java. But donâ t set the javac and java in the PATH.
Before starting the java applications set the appropriate version of java and javac in the PATH and start the application. This we are doing in our system where 2 applications requires different version of java

Hi Ahmed,

The new java installation will be installed in another directory.
Set the JAVA_HOME and PATH variable for your netscape/firefox in your .profile.

For the application using another JAVA_HOME, set the JAVA and PATH variable in the application startup scripts.

Cheerio,
