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>

Once you set this value, the JIT compiler optimizes all of the Java code

the <samp class="codeph">jit_de</samp> option. When running with this option, programs
|

|

<p>To use JIT and direct processing together, you need to set

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,
