| Java(tm) Binary Kernel Support for Linux v1.03 |
| ---------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Linux beats them ALL! While all other OS's are TALKING about direct |
| support of Java Binaries in the OS, Linux is doing it! |
| |
| You can execute Java applications and Java Applets just like any |
| other program after you have done the following: |
| |
| 1) You MUST FIRST install the Java Developers Kit for Linux. |
| The Java on Linux HOWTO gives the details on getting and |
| installing this. This HOWTO can be found at: |
| |
| ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Java-HOWTO |
| |
| You should also set up a reasonable CLASSPATH environment |
| variable to use Java applications that make use of any |
| nonstandard classes (not included in the same directory |
| as the application itself). |
| |
| 2) You have to compile BINFMT_MISC either as a module or into |
| the kernel (``CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC``) and set it up properly. |
| If you choose to compile it as a module, you will have |
| to insert it manually with modprobe/insmod, as kmod |
| cannot easily be supported with binfmt_misc. |
| Read the file 'binfmt_misc.txt' in this directory to know |
| more about the configuration process. |
| |
| 3) Add the following configuration items to binfmt_misc |
| (you should really have read ``binfmt_misc.txt`` now): |
| support for Java applications:: |
| |
| ':Java:M::\xca\xfe\xba\xbe::/usr/local/bin/javawrapper:' |
| |
| support for executable Jar files:: |
| |
| ':ExecutableJAR:E::jar::/usr/local/bin/jarwrapper:' |
| |
| support for Java Applets:: |
| |
| ':Applet:E::html::/usr/bin/appletviewer:' |
| |
| or the following, if you want to be more selective:: |
| |
| ':Applet:M::<!--applet::/usr/bin/appletviewer:' |
| |
| Of course you have to fix the path names. The path/file names given in this |
| document match the Debian 2.1 system. (i.e. jdk installed in ``/usr``, |
| custom wrappers from this document in ``/usr/local``) |
| |
| Note, that for the more selective applet support you have to modify |
| existing html-files to contain ``<!--applet-->`` in the first line |
| (``<`` has to be the first character!) to let this work! |
| |
| For the compiled Java programs you need a wrapper script like the |
| following (this is because Java is broken in case of the filename |
| handling), again fix the path names, both in the script and in the |
| above given configuration string. |
| |
| You, too, need the little program after the script. Compile like:: |
| |
| gcc -O2 -o javaclassname javaclassname.c |
| |
| and stick it to ``/usr/local/bin``. |
| |
| Both the javawrapper shellscript and the javaclassname program |
| were supplied by Colin J. Watson <cjw44@cam.ac.uk>. |
| |
| Javawrapper shell script:: |
| |
| #!/bin/bash |
| # /usr/local/bin/javawrapper - the wrapper for binfmt_misc/java |

| # class is not in CLASSPATH, so prepend dir of class to CLASSPATH |

| jarwrapper:: |
| |
| #!/bin/bash |
| # /usr/local/java/bin/jarwrapper - the wrapper for binfmt_misc/jar |
| |
| java -jar $1 |
| |
| |
| Now simply ``chmod +x`` the ``.class``, ``.jar`` and/or ``.html`` files you |
| want to execute. |
| |
| To add a Java program to your path best put a symbolic link to the main |
| .class file into /usr/bin (or another place you like) omitting the .class |
| extension. The directory containing the original .class file will be |
| added to your CLASSPATH during execution. |
| |
| |
| To test your new setup, enter in the following simple Java app, and name |
| it "HelloWorld.java":: |
| |
| class HelloWorld { |
| public static void main(String args[]) { |
| System.out.println("Hello World!"); |
| } |
| } |
| |
| Now compile the application with:: |
| |
| javac HelloWorld.java |
| |
| Set the executable permissions of the binary file, with:: |
| |
| chmod 755 HelloWorld.class |
| |
| And then execute it:: |
| |
| ./HelloWorld.class |
| |
| |
| To execute Java Jar files, simple chmod the ``*.jar`` files to include |
| the execution bit, then just do:: |
| |
| ./Application.jar |
| |
| |
| To execute Java Applets, simple chmod the ``*.html`` files to include |
| the execution bit, then just do:: |
| |
| ./Applet.html |
