I have a server which has centos installed in it. Recently I have installed jdk 1.6 into it.

When I try to run java command from shell it's working perfectly fine.

Java is stored into /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_25 and path is set to /usr/bin/ when I type which java.

When I tried running javaws (which comes with the jdk 1.6 only) it is showing me following error:

Java Web Start splash screen process exiting ...
Bad installation: JAVAWS_HOME not set: No such file or directory

Executing env command prints following details:
