newbie java question

Deborah Hsieh — Wed, 10 Mar 2004 20:19:27 GMT

I just installed java for HPUX 11. And my question is... now what? I downloaded it for the sole purpose ot being able to have java for Netscape and Mozilla. Do I need to invoke it somehow, or change the path in Mozilla/Netscape?

Thanks!!!

Hi,

Nothing to do, I think

After Netscape or Mozilla daemon started at the background mode on the GUI,you may see them.

Hi Deborah,

Depending on the version you installed, typically you need to set a java home env variable- for EX:

JAVA2_HOME=/opt/java1.2
JAVA3_HOME=/opt/java1.3
JAVA4_HOME=/opt/java1.4

HTH,
Jeff

My experience is once installed, the browser install figures out that java is there at install time.

You need the java plugin to make sites that require java work right.

Thanks everyone! It looks like everything works ok in Mozilla, but on Netscape 4.73 I'm getting a weird error:
Java reported the following error on startup:
java.lang.SecurityException: system classes were not signed.
And then I get this error:
# Error: The certificate issuer for this server is not recognized by Netscape. The security certificate may or may not be valid.
Netscape refuses to connect to this server. (-8179)
#jar file: /usr/local/apps/netscape/netscape-4.73/java/classes/java40.jar
#path: /usr/local/apps/netscape/netscape-4.73/java/classes/java40.jar

Any ideas?
Thanks so much!

Check your classpath and make sure that java40.jar comes before classes12.zip

I'm sorry, I don't know how to check/change my classpath... I'm a total newbie at all of this.

CLASSPATH is a shell variable thats exported before java invocation.

It is like MANPATH and LIBPATH.

see if the variable is set or else you can manually include it in the command-line.See java -help for further options on this.
