Java 1.5 32/64 bit

[Dennis Handly]

>how can I tell if this is the 32bit or 64bit version?

You don't need to tell, you should get both. Use -d64 for 64 bit.

>So where does this leave me?

The java driver is usually PA32. Then it execs the correct bitness and architecture.

I think I was OK until that last answer :) (sorry Dennis). JRF confirmed that my java 1.5 is 32 bit. So what you're saying is that my java driver is 32 bit, but it CAN execute 64 bit??
So is there only ONE version of each JDK/JRE java and it executes BOTH 32/64??? Reason I ask because in the past I've seen different versions available for 32/64 and I want to be sure I have the right one.
For some reason Oracle Financials likes 32 bit.
Again, sorry if I seem slow at grasping this one.

Thanks
Mauro

No, JRF was fooled by the java driver. :-)

Yes and on Integrity is is PA and it will exec either the PA or Integrity java.

>So is there only ONE version of each JDK/JRE java and it executes BOTH 32/64?

Yes, depending on the command line options.

>in the past I've seen different versions available for 32/64

Perhaps but now they come in one bundle.

You guys are STUDS!!!!
Just as long as my 1.5 can run the recommended flavor that Oracle likes, I'm happy.
Thanks again

Hi (again):

Wow! Thanks Dennis.

Regards!

I know I'm going to beat a dead horse...but here it goes.
As I previously said, my configuration on the server is set for 64 IE:

# getconf KERNEL_BITS
64

So when the DBA who points Oracle Apps to Java 1.5, is the java going to be 32 or 64??? If it was installed in our 64 bit system, does it depend on HOW it was installed (ie d64/d32)? Can I check that???

[Mauro Livi]

Disregard the last question. Everything worked...Dennis was right and both are packaged together.
Thanks again
Mauro
