Java Virtual Machine

A Java virtual machine (VM) is an interpreter that executes Java programs that are stored on a disk as class files. CA Datacom Server conforms to the JDBC 4.0 specification and requires a Java 1.6 compliant virtual machine.

Java virtual machines are available as free downloads from Sun Microsystems (www.java.sun.com) and IBM (www.ibm.com), and other sources. Some JDBC 2.0 extensions require downloading additional Java libraries when used with Java 1.2 or 1.3, also available from Sun. Java 1.4 is required to use new features defined in JDBC 4.0, and includes all features defined in the JDBC 2.1 and 2.0 extensions.

The Sun Java Plug-In is required to use the JDBC driver with applets running in Internet Explorer. The Java Plug-In is installed with the Sun JRE.

Note: Additional information about JDBC and Java is available from the Sun Microsystems website.
