 JDK1.3 Home/bin/java -version

• Verify following variables for JDK version

 AF_JRE_TOP = $JDK1.3 Home

 AFJVAPRG = $JDK1.3 Home/bin/java
 AF_CLASSPATH = $JDK1.3 Home/lib/dt.jar:
$JDK1.3 Home/lib/tools.jar:$JDK1.3
Home/jre/lib/rt.jar:$JDK1.3 Home/jre/lib/i18.jar:
$JAVA_TOP/appsborg2.zip:$ORACLE HOME
8.0.6/forms60/java:$JAVA_TOP
• Verify if JMS libraries exist in AF_CLASSPATH.

 grep jar $APPL_TOP/admin/adjborg2.txt

Sample output should look like:

$ORACLE HOME 8.0.6/owm/jlib/jssl-1_1.jar

$ORACLE HOME 8.0.6/owm/jlib/javax-ssl-1_1.jar
$iAS HOME/rdbms/jlib/aqapi.jar
$iAS HOME/rdbms/jlib/jmscommon.jar
$iAS HOME/Apache/xsu/xsu12.jar
$iAS HOME/Apache/xsu/oraclexmlsql.jar
$iAS HOME/rdbms/jlib/xsu12.jar
$iAS HOME/lib/http_client.jar

  If the output is 0 (zero), it means that

appsborg2.zip does not contain the JMS classes
