<div><p>When you run a Java™ program, you can select which mode
you would like to use. All modes verify the code and create a Java program
object to hold the preverified form of the program.</p>
<p>You can use any of the following modes:</p>
<ul><li>Interpreted</li>
<li>Direct processing</li>
<li>Just-In-Time (JIT) compile</li>
<li>Just-In-Time (JIT) compile and direct processing</li>

<td valign="top" headers="d0e40 "> <p><span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> interprets Java methods
until reaching the threshold specified by the os400.jit.mmi.threshold Java system
property. After reaching the threshold, <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> uses
the JIT compiler to compile methods into native machine instructions.</p>
<p>To
use the <a href="jit.htm">Just-In-Time compiler</a>, you need to set
the compiler value to <samp class="codeph">jitc</samp>. You can set the value by adding
an environment variable or setting the java.compiler system property. Select
one method from the list below to set the compiler value:</p>
<ul><li>From a command line prompt on your iSeries™ server, add the environment variable
by using the Add Environment Variable (ADDENVVAR) command. Then, run your Java program
using the Run Java (RUNJVA) command or JAVA command. For example,
use: <pre>ADDENVVAR ENVVAR (JAVA_COMPILER) VALUE(jitc)
JAVA CLASS(Test)</pre>
</li>
<li>Set the java.compiler system property on the iSeries command line. For example, enter <samp class="codeph">JAVA
CLASS(Test) PROP((java.compiler jitc))</samp></li>
<li>Set the java.compiler system property on the Qshell Interpreter command
line. For example, enter <samp class="codeph">java -Djava.compiler=jitc Test</samp></li>
</ul>
Once you set this value, the JIT compiler optimizes all of the Java code
before running it.</td>

<tr><td valign="top" headers="d0e38 "><strong>Just-In-Time (JIT) compile and Direct Processing</strong></td>
<td valign="top" headers="d0e40 "> <p>The most common way to use the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is with
the <samp class="codeph">jit_de</samp> option. When running with this option, programs
that have already been optimized with direct processing run in direct processing
mode. Programs that have not been optimized for direct optimization run in
JIT mode.</p>
<p>To use JIT and direct processing together, you need to set
the compiler value to <samp class="codeph">jitc_de</samp>. You can set the value by adding
an environment variable or setting the java.compiler system property. Select
one method from the following list to set the compiler value:</p>
<ul><li>Add the environment variable by entering the Add Environment Variable
(ADDENVVAR) command on the iSeries command line. Then, run your Java program
using the Run Java (RUNJVA) command or JAVA command. For example,
enter <pre>ADDENVVAR ENVVAR (JAVA_COMPILER) VALUE(jitc_de)
JAVA CLASS(Test)</pre>
</li>
<li>Set the java.compiler system property on the iSeries command line. For example, enter <samp class="codeph">JAVA
CLASS(Test) PROP((java.compiler jitc_de))</samp></li>
<li>Set the java.compiler system property on the Qshell Interpreter command
line. For example, enter <samp class="codeph">java -Djava.compiler=jitc_de Test</samp></li>
</ul>
Once this value is set, the Java program for the class file that was
created as direct processing is used. If the Java program was not created as direct processing,
the class file is optimized by the JIT prior to running. For more information,
see <a href="jitde.htm">Comparison of Just-In-Time compiler and direct
processing</a></td>

a unique way to specify the mode. This table shows how that is done.</p>
