BEA Products Supported on this Configuration
This section provides the following information:

.
IBM has released a Timezone Update Utility to update DST data without the need to upgrade Java. See IBM Time Zone Update Utility for JavaTM.
The IIOP thin client is not supported on AIX due to dependencies on the JVM. Only thin-client applications are affected by this issue.
Workaround: Run WebLogic Server on AIX and your thin client on another operating system.
A serial version UID mismatch is encountered when using WLS 9.1 with IBM Java 5 SR1.
Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>/Weblogic91/common/bin/commEnv.sh
file to include the following command:
JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0"
Alternatively, you can use the command line option:
export
IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0"
Note: If you intend to deploy new applications with previously compiled applications, they must be recompiled as necessary to have the same Serial Version UID.
The weblogic.aspects.AspectJClassLoader
is not supported on AIX using IBM Java 5.
Workaround: You are advised not to use this class loader.
