BTW, I have run IA32 Oracle on my IA64 box and it appears to work fine. I got around the Java issue by installing on an IA32 machine and copying everyting over to the IA64 box. It at least proved that the IA32 sub-system supported Oracle and I didn't expect people to actually run IA32 Oracle on their IA64 machines. Also, have you looked into Kaffe, `www.kaffe.org'? It's an open source JDK that I've compiled for IA64 and used successfully. I don't know if it's up to date enough to satisfy your needs though.
