Adaptive Server lets you plug in commercial, off-the-shelf Java runtime environment (JRE) and Java virtual machine (JVM) components. After configuring Adaptive Server for Java, you can include any standard JVM that supports Java 6 or later. This infrastructure lets you run Java applications configured with the Java solution in Adaptive Server versions prior to 15.0.3 as well as applications created using the Adaptive Server version 15.0.3 and later.
The Java interface for Adaptive Server include the commercial JVM and the Sybase components that support it:
The pluggable component adaptor/ JVM (PCA/JVM)
The pluggable component interface (PCI) and the PCI Bridge, which are internal to Adaptive Server
