Prepare for Java™ support
You must install and configure software before you can write user-defined routines (UDRs) in Java™ code.
Before you create and use UDRs written in Java™ code, ensure that the required software
is installed:
- Informix®
14.10 with
J/Foundation.
J/Foundation includes the Informix® JDBC Driver that contains Java™ classes and shared-object files that you can use to write UDRs in Java™ code. The installation procedure installs these binary files in $INFORMIXDIR/extend/krakatoa.
- A supported Java™ software development kit or an earlier
version according to Java™ compatibility
guidelines.
If you do not plan to develop Java™ UDRs, you do not need to install the development kit for Java™. The J/Foundation component includes a Java™ runtime environment to execute Java™ UDRs.
Check the machine notes to learn about Java™ technology requirements for specific operating system platforms. The machine notes are available on the product media.
