Installs a Java. Uses OpenJDK by default but supports installation of Oracle's JDK.
This cookbook also provides the java_ark LWRP which other java
cookbooks can use to install java-related applications from binary
packages.
The java_ark LWPR may move to its own cookbook at some point in the
future as its functionality is useful for other purposes.
IMPORTANT NOTE As of 26 March 2012 you can no longer directly download the JDK from Oracle's website without using a full-fledged browser. For that reason, the java::oracle recipe forces you to set up a private repository accessible by HTTP. It is best to override the dummy URL using a role.
Example
roles/base.rb
normal_attributes(
:java => {
:jdk => {
"6" => {
:x86_64 => {
:url => "http://hqlprrepo01.hq.un.fao.org/corporate/jdk-6u30-linux-x64.bin"
}
}
}
}
)
You are most encouraged to voice your complaints to Oracle and/or switch to OpenJDK.
- Debian, Ubuntu
- CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora, Scientific, Amazon
- ArchLinux
- FreeBSD
See attributes/default.rb for default values.
node["java"]["install_flavor"]- Flavor of JVM you would like installed (oracleoropenjdk), defaultopenjdk.node['java']['java_home']- Default location of the "$JAVA_HOME".node['java']['tarball']- name of the tarball to retrieve from your corporate repository defaultjdk1.6.0_29_i386.tar.gznode['java']['tarball_checksum']- checksum for the tarball, if you use a different tarball, you also need to create a new sha256 checksumnode['java']['jdk']- version and architecture specific attributes for setting the URL on Oracle's site for the JDK, and the checksum of the .tar.gz.
Include the default recipe in a run list, to get java. By default
the openjdk flavor of Java is installed, but this can be changed by
using the install_flavor attribute.
OpenJDK is the default because of licensing changes made upstream by
Oracle. See notes on the oracle recipe below.
This recipe installs the openjdk flavor of Java.
This recipe installs the oracle flavor of Java. This recipe does not
use distribution packages as Oracle changed the licensing terms with
JDK 1.6u27 and prohibited the practice for both the debian and EL worlds.
For both debian and centos/rhel, this recipe pulls the binary distribution from the Oracle website, and installs it in the default JAVA_HOME for each distribution. For debian/ubuntu, this is /usr/lib/jvm/default-java. For Centos/RHEL, this is /usr/lib/jvm/java
After putting the binaries in place, the oracle recipe updates
/usr/bin/java to point to the installed JDK using the
update-alternatives script
This recipe installs the 32-bit Java virtual machine without setting it as the default. This can be useful if you have applications on the same machine that require different versions of the JVM.
This LWRP provides an easy way to manage java applications. It uses
the LWRP arkive (deliberately misspelled). It is an arkive and not an
"archive" because the java_ark lwrp is not the same as a java
archive or "jar". Essentially, you provide the java_ark with the URL
to a tarball and the commands within the extracted result that you
want symlinked to /usr/bin/
The java_ark LWPR may move to its own cookbook at some point in the
future as its functionality is useful for other purposes.
By default, the extracted directory is extracted to
app_root/extracted_dir_name and symlinked to app_root/default
:install: extracts the tarball and makes necessary symlinks:remove: removes the tarball and run update-alternatives for all symlinkedbin_cmds
url: path to tarball, .tar.gz, .bin (oracle-specific), and .zip currently supportedchecksum: sha256 checksum, not used for security but avoid redownloading the archive on each chef-client runapp_home: the default for installations of this type of application, for example,/usr/lib/tomcat/default. If your application is not set to the default, it will be placed at the same level in the directory hierarchy but the directory name will beapp_root/extracted_directory_name + "_alt"app_home_mode: file mode for app_home, is an integerbin_cmds: array of binary commands that should be symlinked to /usr/bin, examples are mvn, java, javac, etc. These cmds must be in the bin/ subdirectory of the extracted folder. Will be ignored if this java_ark is not the defaultowner: owner of extracted directory, set to "root" by defaultdefault: whether this the default installation of this package, boolean true or false
# install jdk6 from Oracle
java_ark "jdk" do
url 'http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u29-b11/jdk-6u29-linux-x64.bin'
checksum 'a8603fa62045ce2164b26f7c04859cd548ffe0e33bfc979d9fa73df42e3b3365'
app_home '/usr/local/java/default'
bin_cmds ["java", "javac"]
action :install
end
# installs maven2
java_ark "maven2" do
url "http://www.apache.org/dist/maven/binaries/apache-maven-2.2.1-bin.tar.gz"
checksum "b9a36559486a862abfc7fb2064fd1429f20333caae95ac51215d06d72c02d376"
app_home "/usr/local/maven/default"
bin_cmds ["mvn"]
action :install
end
Simply include the java recipe where ever you would like Java installed.
To install Oracle flavored Java on Debian or Ubuntu override the node['java']['install_flavor'] attribute with in role:
name "java"
description "Install Oracle Java on Ubuntu"
override_attributes(
"java" => {
"install_flavor" => "oracle"
}
)
run_list(
"recipe[java]"
)
