"Invalid argument" is the error you get on Solaris when you try running a SPARC binary on an x86 platform. Make sure the java runtime you have installed in /app is the right version for your hardware - you can use the file command to check, for example:

% file /net/pkg/export/pkg.sparc.sunos5/gnu/bin/ls
/net/pkg/export/pkg.sparc.sunos5/gnu/bin/ls:    ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped

% file /net/pkg/export/pkg.i386.sunos5/gnu/bin/tar
/net/pkg/export/pkg.i386.sunos5/gnu/bin/tar:    ELF 32-bit LSB executable 80386 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped

Try

bash-3.00$ source /app/jdk1.6.0_11/bin/java -version

or

bash-3.00$ . /app/jdk1.6.0_11/bin/java -version

(Bash manual)

I suggest you adding Java JDK path to your Bash PATH environment variable, so you don't have to write the whole path.
