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: + +.. code-block:: sh + + #!/bin/bash + # /usr/local/bin/javawrapper - the wrapper for binfmt_misc/java + + if [ -z "$1" ]; then + exec 1>&2 + echo Usage: $0 class-file + exit 1 + fi + + CLASS=$1 + FQCLASS=`/usr/local/bin/javaclassname $1` + FQCLASSN=`echo $FQCLASS | sed -e 's/^.*\.\([^.]*\)$/\1/'` + FQCLASSP=`echo $FQCLASS | sed -e 's-\.-/-g' -e 's-^[^/]*$--' -e 's-/[^/]*$--'` + + # for example: + # CLASS=Test.class + # FQCLASS=foo.bar.Test + # FQCLASSN=Test + # FQCLASSP=foo/bar + + unset CLASSBASE + + declare -i LINKLEVEL=0 + + while :; do + if [ "`basename $CLASS .class`" == "$FQCLASSN" ]; then + # See if this directory works straight off + cd -L `dirname $CLASS` + CLASSDIR=$PWD + cd $OLDPWD + if echo $CLASSDIR | grep -q "$FQCLASSP$"; then + CLASSBASE=`echo $CLASSDIR | sed -e "s.$FQCLASSP$.."` + break; + fi + # Try dereferencing the directory name + cd -P `dirname $CLASS` + CLASSDIR=$PWD + cd $OLDPWD + if echo $CLASSDIR | grep -q "$FQCLASSP$"; then + CLASSBASE=`echo $CLASSDIR | sed -e "s.$FQCLASSP$.."` + break; + fi + # If no other possible filename exists + if [ ! -L $CLASS ]; then + exec 1>&2 + echo $0: + echo " $CLASS should be in a" \ + "directory tree called $FQCLASSP" + exit 1 + fi + fi + if [ ! -L $CLASS ]; then break; fi + # Go down one more level of symbolic links + let LINKLEVEL+=1 + if [ $LINKLEVEL -gt 5 ]; then + exec 1>&2 + echo $0: + echo " Too many symbolic links encountered" + exit 1 + fi + CLASS=`ls --color=no -l $CLASS | sed -e 's/^.* \([^ ]*\)$/\1/'` + done + + if [ -z "$CLASSBASE" ]; then + if [ -z "$FQCLASSP" ]; then + GOODNAME=$FQCLASSN.class + else + GOODNAME=$FQCLASSP/$FQCLASSN.class + fi + exec 1>&2 + echo $0: + echo " $FQCLASS should be in a file called $GOODNAME" + exit 1 + fi + + if ! echo $CLASSPATH | grep -q "^\(.*:\)*$CLASSBASE\(:.*\)*"; then + # class is not in CLASSPATH, so prepend dir of class to CLASSPATH + if [ -z "${CLASSPATH}" ] ; then + export CLASSPATH=$CLASSBASE + else + export CLASSPATH=$CLASSBASE:$CLASSPATH + fi + fi + + shift + /usr/bin/java $FQCLASS "$@" + +javaclassname.c: + +.. code-block:: c + + /* javaclassname.c + * + * Extracts the class name from a Java class file; intended for use in a Java + * wrapper of the type supported by the binfmt_misc option in the Linux kernel. + * + * Copyright (C) 1999 Colin J.
