Dan,
Thanks for your reply. Just wanted to add this bit of info:
We have other java programs that are still running fine.
Displaying /qibm/userdata/java400
Opt   Object link            Type     Attribute    Text   
          ext                        DIR
          AdoptAuthority     DIR                          
Nothing else, no files at all, I can't seem to find
SystemDefault.properties file anywhere , is it OK to not
have one?
Can I create a file SystemDefault.properties 
and add 
java.home=/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/jdk14/                  
java.version=1.4                                         
to it?
I checked /home and it is empty
                   
So I displayed /qibm/Prodata/java400 and I see:
Object link            Type 
ext                        DIR  
fonts                     DIR  
jdk13                    DIR  
jdk14                    DIR  
jdk15                    DIR  
jt400ntv.jar          STMF 
Hello.class           STMF 
Hello.java            STMF 
MRI2924             DIR  
NAWTtest.class              STMF  
NAWTtest.java               STMF  
PropDump.class             STMF  
PropDump.java              STMF  
QDefineClassCache.jar  STMF  
SystemDefaultCacheExample.properties   STMF  
Does this look OK? Still no SystemDefault.properties file
anywhere
I put the program in debug and just before it executes the
RUNJVA command I ran RUNJAVA *VERSION
And get Version JVM V5R3M0 JDK 1.4.2.  
The error is caused by the following program execution using
RUNJVA:
RUNJVA     CLASS('xxapdfen') PARM(&infileflg &FullPathIn)
CLASSPATH(&CLASSPATH) CHKPATH(*IGNORE)
Where &classpath=
/dapp/java/xxapdfenc.jar:/dapp/java:/dapp/java/xxapdfeni.jar
:
 
The jar files are where they have always been.
Any other ideas for me?
I am going to uninstall the PTF that was used to install
java 1.5 this weekend and see if that returns us back to
working.

Subject: RE: Installing new java version
Start by checking how that java program is invoked. At V5R3,
the java.version system property has the most impact on
which JVM is chosen. That property can be set in the QSH
java command line (in QSH java -Djava.version=1.4, eg). 
In qsh, I can do this:
  $                                       
java -version -Djava.version=1.3.1      
  java version "1.3.1"                    
  $                                       
java -version -Djava.version=1.4.2      
  java version "1.4.2"                    
  $                                       
java -version -Djava.version=1.4        
  java version "1.4.2"                    
  $                                       
java -version -Djava.version=1.1        
  Java Development Kit could not be found.
  $                                       
java -version -Djava.version=1.2        
  java version "1.2.2"                    
  $                                       
I haven't been able to find a way to set version from the
RUNJVA command, however. I believe the command invocation
pulls its value from SystemDefault.properties file.
Browse : /qibm/UserData/Java400/SystemDefault.properties
 Record :       1   of       2 by  18                    
 Control :                                               
                                                         
....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+..
 ************Beginning of data**************             
java.home=/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/jdk14/                  
java.version=1.4                                         
 ************End of Data********************             
As above, there's one in the /qibm/UserData/Java400. There
can also be one in the home directory of the user which
takes precedence over the one in /QIBM.
There was significant displacement of classes in Java 5.
Many classes were added to the core distribution that had
been commonly included only by classpath. This was
particularly true of servlet classes. The net effect was
that applications that had been running in 1.4.2 would throw
exactly the error you're seeing as the classes in the
classpath were duplicated in the runtime.
To see what you're command is doing, try to get as close as
possible to the environment where RUNJVA is invoked in your
application and run
RUNJVA *version
If it comes up 1.5, you'll have to find where the property
is set and change it, else figure out what classes are being
duplicated in the classpath and remove the jar from the
classpath.

Subject: Installing new java version
I want to start out by saving my java skills are pretty
basic.
I have a java program that has been running fine for years
using java 
1.4 on V5R3.
Last week we installed java 1.5 (via PTF). I do not want
to start 
using it yet, but I wanted to get it installed for
potential future 
use.
When I check the java version on our system (QSH  java
-version) I get 1.4.2
5722JV1   V5R3M0      Developer Kit for Java
5722JV1   V5R3M0      Java Developer Kit 1.3
5722JV1   V5R3M0      Java Developer Kit 1.4
5722JV1   V5R3M7      Java Developer Kit 1.5
No other changes I know of have been made. The java
program has not 
changed in years and has not been recompiled.
But.. When I run the java program I get an error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/commons/cli/Option
         at java.lang.Throwable.<init>(Throwable.java:195)
         at
java.lang.LinkageError.<init>(LinkageError.java:36)
         at
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.<init>(NoClassDefFoundError.j
ava:40)
         at xxapdfec.main(xxapdfec.java:40)
 Java program completed with exit code 1
I used debug to check the class paths.
I checked to make sure the .class and jar files were in
the directory 
they are supposed to be in.
Can installing a new version of java cause a change in a
existing 
programs execution.
Does anyone have any starting point for me to look at?
How do I read this error logging? What do the numbers (195
36  40) represent? Program line numbers?
Thanks in advance
John
