Configuring Java Support

The basic configuration procedure for an Informix database server is covered in the IBM Informix: Dynamic Server Administrator's Guide. Configuring the database server to support Java code requires several additional steps. You might find it convenient to configure the database server without Java code and then modify it to add Java support.

Preparing to use Java code with the database server requires these additions to the basic configuration procedure:

• Create an sbspace to hold the Java JAR files.
• Create the JVP properties file.
• Add (or modify) the Java configuration parameters in the ONCONFIG configuration file.
• Set environment variables.

$INFORMIXDIR/extend/krakatoa is your jvphome. You need to include this path in several places as you prepare J/Foundation.
