Starting Web Logic Server - Unrecognized option: -jrockit

Question

Hi,
Im getting the error "Unrecognized option: -jrockit" when I try to start the Web Logic Server as is showed below:
D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin>startWebLogic.cmd
* To start WebLogic Server, use a username and *
* password assigned to an admin-level user. For *
* server administration, use the WebLogic Server *
* console at http:\\hostname:port\console *
starting weblogic with Java version:
Unrecognized option: -jrockit
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
Starting WLS with line:
I already installed the JDK 7 64 (jdk-7u2-windows-x64) and use the generic file to install the Web Logic Server (wls1035_generic)
I got the files from here:
JDK >> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u2-download-1377129.html
Web Logic >> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/wls-main-097127.html
Any help I will appreciate.
Thank You,
Raul.

Note that you are using the HotSpot JDK. The option -jrockit is only valid if you are using JRockit.
When you open setDomainEnv.cmd you see something like:
if "%JAVA_VENDOR%"=="Oracle" (
     set JAVA_HOME=%BEA_JAVA_HOME%
) else (
     if "%JAVA_VENDOR%"=="Sun" (
          set JAVA_HOME=%SUN_JAVA_HOME%
     ) else (
          set JAVA_VENDOR=Oracle
          set JAVA_HOME=C:\bea\jrockit_160_29_D1.2.0-10
)which selects a certain JDK based on the set JAVA_VENDOR property.
You add the property JAVA_VENDOR above the first if statement, for example,
set SUN_JAVA_HOME=
set JAVA_VENDOR=Sun
if "%JAVA_VENDOR%"=="Oracle" (...)Also see if the SUN_JAVA_HOME property is set to the correct directory.
