To Switch to Another Supported Java Version

1. Download the Java SDK (not the JRE) and install it on your system, if you have not already done so.

   The Java SDK can be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/j2se.

2. Completely stop the Application Server.

   You can use the following command line:

   ApplicationServer-base\bin\asadmin.bat stop-domain

   Alternatively, you can use the Administration Console GUI:

   1. Click the Application Server node.

   2. Click Stop Instance.

3. Edit the install_dir\config\asenv.conf file (asenv.bat on Windows), changing the value for AS_JAVA to point to the new J2SE home directory.

4. Edit the as-install\samples\common.properties file, changing the line beginning com.sun.aas.javaRoot... to reference the new J2SE home directory.

5. Restart the Application Server.

   ApplcationServer-base\bin\asadmin.bat start-domain
