You can plug in off-the-shelf, standard Java JRE and JVM components such as J2SE, to Adaptive Server. This chapter describes the Sybase components that support Java and how to change default configuration values.
The Adaptive Server Java framework has been designed to work with any standard JVM that supports Java 6 or later. ASE 15.5 has been certified with the Java 6 version that is included in the $SYBASE/shared directory. Classes compiled by earlier versions of Java continue to run correctly under later versions of Java.
The JVM is independent of Adaptive Server. You can change or upgrade your Java applications to take advantage of new Java functionality as it becomes available.
