7.3 JVM Errors

The OMU Web Service requires version 1.6 of the JVM. If multiple versions of the JVM are installed on the system, it is possible that an older version of the JVM is being executed whenever the web service starts.

On UNIX systems, the JAVA_HOME environment variable must be set to the directory where JDK 1.6 is installed in the shell where the web service is started. To properly start the web service on a UNIX platform, perform the following:

  • Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the JDK 1.6 installation directory.

  • Navigate to the adapters/bin sub-directory in the Web service installation directory.

  • Execute the ./service.sh start command.

On Windows systems, perform the following to insure that JDK 1.6 is used when starting the Web service.

  • Navigate to the adapters/bin sub-directory in the Web service installation directory.

  • Run the iWaveAdaptersw.exe executable.

  • Click on the Java tab.

  • Make sure that the Use Default check box is not checked.

  • In the Java Virtual system box, specify the path to the jvm.dll file in the JDK 1.6 installation directory.

  • Click OK.
