After fixing this parameter and restarting Oracle, connect / as sysdba and issue create or replace java system; and then sit back and relax for it will take some time. :) -- Vladimir Zakharychev (bob@dpsp-yes.com) http://www.dpsp-yes.com Dynamic PSP(tm) - the first true RAD toolkit for Oracle-based internet applications.
