No 'server' JVM at '…'

Question

I\'m running a java application that we distribute as a server-side system. I\'m trying to write a launcher (\"write\" is somewhat of an overstatement here, I\'m basically j

Answer 1

There is a little trick to get the server JVM up and running:

1. Copy "server" folder from the JDK's JRE's bin folder example: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\jre\bin\server
2. Paste the "server" folder to JRE's bin folder example: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0\bin
3. Done

See official readme for details.

Answer 2

I've just been struggling with this same problem in Eclipse and I noted that as suggested by the answer above the JBoss site has a thread on this issue saying the same as the answer above to copy files from the jdk to the jre folder.

I noticed that you can avoid having to do this if you define the runtime to be the jdk when you create the server. I didn't find how to edit an existing server though.

Answer 3

AFAIK, the JRE usually doesn't ship with a server VM (only the client VM). If you really need the server VM, you have to use the JDK installation.

See Oracle Java for Developers Download page for JRE's with Server VM.

Answer 4

Make sure that server/jvm.dll file must be there when we are trying to run servers like servicemix.

Copy "server" folder from the JDK's JRE's bin folder example: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\jre\bin\server

Paste the "server" folder to JRE's bin folder example: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0\bin

I paced problem, I went through above..That's working fine.

Thanks!

Answer 5

The easiest fix is simply to copy the contents of client folder inside bin and put in a newly created folder 'server' inside bin.

Copy from C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_261\bin\client Paste in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_261\bin\server

*server is the new folder

Answer 6

I solved the same problem by setting the JAVA_HOME path to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_131\bin
