jdk 5 is incorrectly looking at LD_LIBRARY_PATH (even for 64 bit) to load the libraries from java -> native side. Instead it should be looking at LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 first before looking at LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This issue is blocking web server release.


web server 7 has a setup like

native side => loads the JVM => initialized JVM looks at the configuration for class path and then loads the classes. This setup works fine for 32 bit web server.

For 64 bit web server, we use LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 to point to the 64 bit libraries. We want JVM to also look only at LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 to look for the libraries. But looks like some where in the jvm like (java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary) is looking only at LD_LIBRARY_PATH to look for the libraries for both 32 bit as well as for 64 bit.

If web server just sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to 32 bit libraries and LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 to point to 64 bit libraries, we get the following error:

If web server 7 (64 bit) internally sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 at the time of starting the server, jvm is able to find the classes and right libraries perfectly fine. This is not acceptable for ws7 64 bit release.

Really appreciate if some one can look into this and fix it as soon as possible.
