****************************************************************
Starting with OS/390 V2 Release 10, z/OS supports a performance
enhancement function called XPLINK. This function requires the
use of Java SDK 1.4. Because V4.0.1 of WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS does not support Java SDK 1.4, the XPLINK
function can not be used with this version of the product.
Problem conclusion
The following change will be made to the to the V4.0.1
publication "WebSphere Application Server for z/OS: Installation
and Customization," GA22-7834-07, the next time it is updated.
To access the latest version of this publication,
go to the product library page at:

www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/zos_os390/library/

Chapter 2, section "z/OS or OS/390 software requirements for
WebSphere for z/OS." contains the following description of the
Java SDK support for the V4.0.1 WebSphere Application Server
for z/OS product:

IBM Developer Kit for OS/390 Java 2 Technology Edition Version
1.1 is an element of WebSphere for z/OS. It is also available
separately. The Java SDK level supported by this product is
1.3.0.

Note: Later releases of the IBM Developer Kit for OS/390 Java 2
Technology Edition are not supported.

A second note will be added to this bullet. The bullet will
then state:

IBM Developer Kit for OS/390 Java 2 Technology Edition Version
1.1 is an element of WebSphere for z/OS. It is also available
separately. The Java SDK level supported by this product is
1.3.0.

Notes:
1. Later releases of the IBM Developer Kit for OS/390 Java 2
   Technology Edition are not supported.
2. The XPLINK function can not be used with this product
   because it requires Java SDK 1.4, which this product
   does not support.
