Configuring Java

Supported versions

The default version can be changed from the alwaysdata administration, under Environment > Java. This is the version that is especially used when you start java.

Versions are not necessarily already installed.

Binary to use

To use a Java version that is different from the default one:

• go on Environment > Java,
• or use JAVA_VERSION=[VERSION] java (replacing [VERSION] with the desired Java version).

Environment

Your Java environment starts off empty, with no ready installed libraries.

HTTP deployment

To deploy an HTTP application with Java, create a User program type site in the Web > Sites section.

You need to specify the command that will start your Java application, for example:

$ java -Xmx512m -jar jenkins.war --httpListenAddress=0.0.0.0 --httpPort=$PORT
