There are several factors that go into determining which VM runs in OS X ... It's not just a matter of the symlink. Your java preference settings can change which version it uses also, the Info.plist of a launcher can change it, etc. So the actual symlink for "A" is the same, but the java executable in /usr/bin/java selects which framework to bind to using different (non-obvious) criteria.

I figured out that my problem is that /System/Library/Frameworks/ JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current is linked to /System/Library/ Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A. Somehow the java in "A" can change depending on which user invokes it. I have no clue how this works, but I changed Current to point to 1.6.

Is this going to cause me any problems? Is there a better way to do this? i.e. set a system variable to make "A" use 1.6?

I am currently having trouble deploying an application under JavaMonitor because of "incompatible version" errors on a class file. When I launch the app as admin, the app launches fine. I finally traced the problem to the fact that when the appserver user invokes java it is 1.5 but when admin does it is 1.6. See the terminal transcript below.

app2:Logs admin$ sudo -u appserver /usr/bin/java -version
java version "1.5.0_19"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_19- b02-304)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_19-137, mixed mode)
app2:Logs admin$ /usr/bin/java -version
java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03-211)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.3-b02-83, mixed mode)


How can I set it so that when appserver invokes java it is using version 1.6?

Thanks
Frank
