Post-installation

Procedure

  1. An environment variable called JAVA_HOME must be created that points to the installed Java SE. $JAVA_HOME/bin should be placed at the beginning of the PATH environment variable. On a number of sites, it may be necessary to have multiple Java SE s installed on any given machine. For this reason, the choice of scope for these environment variables (system wide, through a script file or symbolic links) is left up to you.
  2. An environment variable called J2EE_JAR must be created that points to the installed Java EE jar file. For WebSphere Application Server this should point at $WAS_HOME/lib/j2ee.jar and for WebLogic Server this should point at $WLS_HOME/lib/weblogic.jar or $WLS_HOME/lib/wlfullclient.jar. You can generate the wlfullclient.jar by running the WebLogic Server JarBuilder tool: go to the server/lib directory (e.g. cd $WLS_HOME/lib) and use the java command to create the wlfullclient.jar file (e.g. java -jar wljarbuilder.jar); see the WebLogic Server product documentation for more information on the WebLogic Server JarBuilder tool. On a number of sites, it may be necessary to have multiple Java EE s installed on any given machine. For this reason, the choice of scope for these environment variables (system wide, through a script file or symbolic links) is left up to you.
