[SOLVED] how to setup HOME_PATH for Java and CATALINA_HOME

eliassal · 11-18-2010, 04:12 AM

I need to set up the environment variable JAVA_HOME and am little bit confused with conflicting information.
When I run
java -version
ie get

Quote:

java version "1.6.0_18"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8.2) (fedora-43.1.8.2.fc13-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

When I run

Code:

which java

I get

Quote:

/usr/bin/java

checking my usr/share I see several directories
java (full of files and directories)
java-1.3.0 (1 jar in it)
java-1.3.1 (empty)
java-1.4.0 (empty)
java-1.5.0 (empty)
java-1.6.0 (empty)
java-1.7.0 (empty)

Issuing the "echo %PATH gives the following"

Quote:

/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/salam/bin

In eclipse helios 3.6, I see in preferences > Java I have

Quote:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64

I have Apache Tomcat up and running and need to setup CATALINA_HOME. In the usr/share/java directory, I have a directory "tomcat6" as well as a tomcat6 directory in /usr/share/.

I have found so many articles on the web but no 2 articles are similar. I tried to browse Sun's "Path setup tutorial" but it seems it is not available anymore.

Thanks for your help

You have some options:
1. export CATALINA_HOME=...
2. put it into /etc/profile
3. put it into ~/.bash_profile

Thanks I did it. Still 1 small issue, I managed to make Apache Tomcat work and created a dynamic web project.

However, the inside the ide is flagged with a red exclamation mark.
Checked the problems pane, it seems it is related to log4j jar file, I
found

Quote:

Description Resource Path Location Type
The container 'Apache Tomcat v6.0 [Apache Tomcat v6.0]' references non
existing library /usr/share/tomcat6/lib/log4j-6.0.26.jar TestTomcat
Build path Build Path Problem

I checked my tomcat directrory, I have "log4j.jar" and a link file
"log4j-6.0.26.jar".

What I noticed is that this link file is flagged with a lock image on
the file icon besides it.

All other jars are there well seen in the build bath except this one
flagged with red
What is needed to be done ?

when I issue
ls -l /usr/share/tomcat6/lib/

I get

Looks like the symlink log4j-6.0.26.jar is pointing to a file called log4j instead of the file called log4j.jar

I cahnged the target for the link and it worked.
I still need a lot to learn about linux
