Installing or Reinstalling Java

November 5, 2002

The following was taken from the 8.1.7.4 Oracle 8i Data Server Patch Set readme.

1. If Java has previously been loaded into the database, invoke SQL*Plus (sqlplus),
connect as internal and run the following SQL DDL command:
SQL> create or replace java system
2 /
(Note that the / (slash) is important to ensure the execution of the command).
To ensure the correct installation of the XDK in the database run the following 2
scripts (Bug 2115227):
$ORACLE_HOME/oracore/admin/initxml.sql
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catxsu.sql

* To determine whether Java has previously been loaded into

the database:
invoke SQL*Plus (sqlplus), connect as internal and run the
following:

SQL> select count(*) from all_objects where object_type like

'JAVA%';

Java is installed if you get a non zero result returned from the query.
2. If Java has previously been loaded into the database, invoke SQL*Plus (sqlplus),
connect as internal and run the following scripts which are located in
$ORACLE_HOME/javavm/:
load_jis.sql
jisja.sql
initjsp.sql
jspja.sql

Notes:
When running the $ORACLE_HOME/javavm/install/jisja.sql script the following
error may be reported and can be ignored:
call jis_exit_java_session(0)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29515: exit called from Java code with status 0
Bug 1459233 was filed against this problem which is fixed in 9i.
