i don't think possible or recommended.

op asking upgrading java (inside) used easerver (app server jboss, powerbuilder+java). of java classes inside easerver compiled java 1.2 , support java 1.5. tried upgrade eas 5.5 jdk 1.6. caused above issues mentioned. several things @ play here:

1. deprecated java classes, methods, models.
2. jdbc interface different now. oracle, had use ojbc6 , breaks older databases.

in end, decided upgrade jdk 1.5.0_22, max build 1.5 (sybase's own limit 1.5.0_03).

that said, if still want try, have update few batch files (i assuming on windows) in \bin.

• you may have install/copy jdk inside sybase\shared folder, can customize, if needed.

• you need add new jdk entries setenv.bat and
  serverstart.bat. basically, current batches agnostic the
  new jdk versions introducing easerver.

  • you may have update user_setenv.bat customize jdbc/classpaths.

• you may have generate batch file jaguar manager and
  change java directory used launch it.

it didn't work me. but, if able make work, can please post suggestions here?
