  *                      cause the JAVA_HOME not to be           *

  ****************************************************************
  WebSphere Application Server on iSeries does not ship its own
  copy of the JDK.  Those systems using WebSphere Application
  Server V8.5 on iSeries VRM 610 and those system not having a
  JDK 1.6 location are experiencing JAVA_HOME location lookup
  problems.
  

Problem conclusion

• Modify the Java Home lookup function to not be hardcoded to
  certain locations.  Beginning with V8.0 the SDK properties can
  be used to locate the JAVA_HOME used by the WebSphere
  Application Server install.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.7 and release 8.5.5.0.  Please refer to the
