Ashish, if you are calling from RPG using the EXTPROC(*JAVA) support,
you are using JNI.  JNI doesn't use the java.version property from
SystemDefault.properties (although as far as I know, it uses all the
other properties.)

To get around this, apply an ILE RPG runtime PTF
  V5R1 PTF SI10069
  V5R2 PTF SI10101
and set an environment variable:

===> ADDENVVAR QIBM_RPG_JAVA_PROPERTIES VALUE('-Djava.version=1.4;')

Don't forget the terminating semicolon.

The coverletter of the PTF explains more about this environment
variable.
