JDK1.4 and JDK1.5 on UNIX ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an SAP Web Application Server (WAS) for PI (Process Integration) running on a UNIX system. It uses JDK1.4

Can I install JDK1.5 on the same UNIX system without affecting the existing SAP WAS and its JDK1.4?

Kindly let me know how this can be done.

Thanks,

you can install other jdk too, but why you want to install the second one ? and for java home, in any case you have to use only one and preferably 1.4. however, 1.5 can be installed in the same way, no other process required

Thanks Bhudev.

I need the JDK1.5 installation because an independent JAVA Application needs to run on the same Server UNIX System on JDK1.5.

So, if I install JDK1.5 on the UNIX Server System and mention that in the PATH Enviroment variable, it should not affect my currently running WAS and it's JDK1.4 installation. Is this understanding correct?

Thanks,
