Bug 10855 – java sun j2ee doesn't set environment variables

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew Sayman 2002-11-16 21:12:26 UTC]

The sun-j2ee ebuild needs to add /opt/sun-j2ee-*/lib/j2ee.jar to the CLASSPATH
and set the variable J2EE_HOME to /opt/sun-j2ee-* to be used correctly in java
devolopment. I believe these variables are separate from whichever vm one is using.

This isn't a dup. The sun-j2ee ebuild is separate from sun-jdk. It also doesn't
currently do anything to set the environment to anything.

i marked it as a dup because the sun-* have messed up environments currently 

[Comment 4 Andrew Sayman 2002-11-17 04:09:44 UTC]

The description of the other bug doesn't describe the same problem as this one.
Fixing that one also wouldn't fix the problem with sun-j2ee. An extra variable
actually needs to be added and new data needs to be appended to CLASSPATH that
isn't already there.

I too will vouch to have this bug fixed.  I'm very impressed with Gentoo's committment to Java -- tools like java-config and the automatic setting of environment variables in /etc/profile.env is really great.

Adding the following for sun-j2ee would be even better!
    - J2EE_HOME
    - j2ee.jar to CLASSPATH
    - $J2EE_HOME/bin to $PATH

Is there any way I could help here?  Perhaps I will try playing with 
the ebuild scripts and see what happens...

Thanks!

adds a file to /etc/env.d/ for the sun-j2ee-1.3.1

I looked into modifying java-config, and this seems to be the most compatible
way to add the J2EE classpath and path to the environment.  J2EE_HOME can also
be added if necessary.

New diff for 1.3.1-r1 includes J2EE_HOME

[Comment 9 [e-mail] 2004-02-12 21:19:21 UTC]

I made another patch, as you can see, for r1, but it gives sandbox violations. Perhaps java-config is the way to go after all. Anyway, this bug has been on the books for too long (last edited *last may???*) ;-)

This patch for the sun-j2ee-1.3.1-r1.ebuild should fix the environment variables *without* sandbox violations ;-)

My apologies, I should have tested the previous patch. This one executes
without sandbox violations, hope it helps!
