Managing the runtime environment for Java

The Runtime environment for Java consists of the following:

• The Sybase Java Virtual Machine     Running within the database server, this interprets and executes the compiled Java class files.

• The built-in Java classes     When you create a database, a set of Java classes are installed. These classes are required for any Java application to work.

Management tasks for java 

In order to provide a Runtime environment for Java, you need to carry out the following tasks:

• Java-enable your database     This task involves ensuring that the built-in classes are available and that the database is upgraded to Version 6 standards.

       For more information, see Java-enabling a database.

• Install other classes your users need     This task involves ensuring that classes other than the built-in classes are installed and up to date.

       For more information, see Installing Java classes into a database.

• Configuring your server     You must configure your server to have the necessary memory available to run Java tasks.

       For more information, see Configuring memory for Java.

Tools for managing Java 

You can carry out all these tasks from Sybase Central or from Interactive SQL.
