This section covers the following configuration issues and tasks:
Oracle9iAS Release 2 (9.0.3) supports Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) version 1.3.1. Oracle9iAS Release 2 (9.0.3) also supports J2SE version 1.4. If you have applications that use J2SE 1.4 features, you need to use J2SE version 1.4.
J2SE version 1.4 is available for Linux from http://java.sun.com
.
J2SE version 1.4 is available for HP-UX from http://www.hp.com
.
J2SE version 1.4 is not available for AIX or Tru64 UNIX at the time of publication. However, see the latest of the Release Notes on the documentation section of OTN for updated information:

This section covers the following issues:
This section describes how to run Oracle9iAS with J2SE version 1.4. The general idea is to rename the current jdk directory to something else (such as jdk13), and install J2SE version 1.4 in the jdk directory. This makes it simple for you so that you do not have to modify any paths or scripts that reference the jdk directory.
To run Oracle9iAS with J2SE version 1.4, use the following procedures:
Stop all Oracle9iAS processes.
Rename ORACLE_HOME/jdk
to something else. For example, you can rename it to jdk13.
Download J2SE version 1.4 ffrom the vendor web site as listed in the introduction to this section
Download notes:
Download the SDK version, not the JRE version.
Install J2SE version 1.4 according to the instructions provided by the vendor, but with the additional requirement that you need to install it in the ORACLE_HOME/jdk
directory.
Note: You have to install J2SE in theORACLE_HOME/jdk directory.
|
Add the following lines to JDK_1.4_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security:
# Oracle-specific definitions auth.policy.provider=oracle.security.jazn.spi.PolicyProvider login.configuration.provider=oracle.security.jazn.spi.LoginConfigProvider
Note: The login.configuration.provider line already exists in the java.security file. Comment out the existing line by prefixing a # character at the beginning of the line and add the line with the Oracle-specific value. |
Start all the Oracle9iAS processes and services.
If you are running Oracle9iAS using the J2SE Version 1.4, you can start the Enterprise Manager Web site without running the X Server software on your UNIX system.
However, you must set the DISPLAY
environment variable to some value. The J2SE Version 1.4 software does not require the X Server software, but the scripts that control the Enterprise Manager Web site check your system to be sure the DISPLAY
variable has been set.
As a result, you can run the Enterprise Manager Web site without the X Server, but you must follow these instructions:
Change directory to the $ORACLE_HOME/bin
directory.
Set your X Server DISPLAY environment variable to any value:
prompt> setenv DISPLAY :0.0
Set the EM_OC4J_OPTS
environment variable as follows:
prompt> setenv EM_OC4J_OPTS -Djava.awt.headless=true
Start the Enterprise Manager Web site using the following command:
prompt> ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start
