Hi,

No matter what I try on my Windows box, I keep getting this error when trying a simple test program from RAD v 9.1.

In my RAD project I include c:\opt\ODWEK\api\ODApi.jar and mark it for export

I'm using IBMs java from  a Websphere 8.5 installation
.....\AppServer8.5\java\bin\java
java -version gives
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pwi3260_26sr8fp3-20141218_02(SR8 FP3))
IBM J9 VM (build 2.6, JRE 1.6.0 Windows 7 x86-32 20141211_226933 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
J9VM - R26_Java626_SR8_20141211_2359_B226933
JIT  - r11.b07_20141003_74578.05
GC   - R26_Java626_SR8_20141211_2359_B226933
J9CL - 20141212_226933)
JCL  - 20141216_01

I have -Djava.library.path=c:\opt\ODWEK\85;C:\opt\ODWEK\8.5\lib32 (tried with and without trailing slashes)
My Win PATH statement has been updated with c:\opt\ODWEK\85;C:\opt\ODWEK\8.5\lib32 (tried with and without trailing slashes)

I've even tried (desperate) with the Win PATH/java system setting with all the ICU dlls i.e
c:\opt\ODWEK\8.5\lib32\icudt44.dll;c:\opt\ODWEK\8.5\lib32\icuin44.dll;c:\opt\ODWEK\8.5\lib32\icuio44.dll;c:\opt\ODWEK\8.5\lib32\icule44.dll;c:\opt\ODWEK\8.5\lib32\iculx44.dll;c:\opt\ODWEK\8.5\lib32\icuuc44.dll;c:\opt\ODWEK\8.5\
to no avail :-(

What am I missing??

TIA
/Anders

Anders - I am absolutely neither an ODWEK guy nor a Windows guy, but on z/OS when we see and ICU failed type of message it's usually some storage setting somewhere.

Are you using 64 bit java?

Hi Ed

I've tried both 64-bit Java 7 and 32-bit Java 6 -- same disappointment.

Hello,

I've seen many times this error. This was nearly always due that when trying to use ODWEK, ODWEK was not installed, but the ODAPI.jar was copied to another system, and therefor all the installation files where not accessible.

Is it your case?

Hi Alessandro,

Unfortunately no,
I have a done a local installation of ODWek on my Win 7 machine so all the files are there/here.

I can successfully launch arsww.cgi from cmd-line on the machine:

C:\opt\ODWEK\8.5>arswww.cgi
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Encoding: Binary
Content-length: 261

Hi ED & Alessandro,

I solved this  8)

I went into the ODWEK folder and ran gsk8ssl64.exe and gsk8ssl32.exe choosing repair in the wizards.

Now the error is gone, at least in the 32-bit domain which is what I've tested so far...

To quick to cheer :(
Now I can run java programs as long as I run them from the ODWEK installation catalouge.

I have checked, rechecked and double-checked that the installation catalog is in my Win PATH, both base and base/lib32.

So now I'm clueless (again).
