When the Application Server is installed in a Solaris Global Zone to /usr/SUNWappserver, the HADB component installed with that Application Server instance will not be available in Sparse Local Zones.
The problem is that HADB is installed to /opt/SUNWhadb in the Global Zone, but this directory is not readable from Sparse Local Zones. Unfortunately, the HADB bundle in JES5 is not relocateable.
