When java_download_from_oracle: true is set, this role downloads the Java package even when it is installed. This takes up bandwidth and time, and makes this role not indempotent.

Currently, the installed version is checked just before installation. This check should be done earlier, before the download.

FYI new Oracle JDK versions were released on Oct 18th 2016.

William,
The "williamyeh.oracle-java" role leaves a copy of the downloaded jdk and fails to delete it after installation. I use your debian8 image as a base. Here is what my container looks like after using the role - notice the downloaded jdk bundle:

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

Hi,
I'm getting this play on Debian Wheezy working, with 2 changes to get it almost perfect.
In use-apt.yml:

- name: Import WebUpd8 PGP key
  sudo: True
  # command: apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEA14886
  apt_key: keyserver=keyserver.ubuntu.com id=0xEEA14886 state=present

- name: automatically accept the Oracle license
  sudo: True
  # shell: echo "oracle-java{{ java_version }}-installer" shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | sudo /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections
  debconf: name="oracle-java{{ java_version }}-installer" question='shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1' value='true' vtype='select'

Like this, running the play again won't report 2 "changed" states when it shouldn't.

Another suggestion: why forcing sudo on tasks level? Wouldn't it be better to let people set sudo on/off in their inventory?

Regards,
Florent

my settings for a local rpm file in files/jdk-8u181-linux-x64.rpm was not working (Centos 7)

# which version?
java_version: 8

# which subversion?
java_subversion: 181

jdk_tarball_file: jdk-8u181-linux-x64

java_download_path: /tmp
java_download_from_oracle: false
java_remove_download: false

java_set_javahome: true
java_install_jce: false

I've fixed it by replacing:

java_subversion: 181

with

java_subversion: 181-amd64

Hello!

Script files/check-java-version.sh check java including OpenJDK. May be replace to:

line=$(java -version 2>&1 | grep $PACKAGE | grep -iv openjdk | wc -l)

?

I have the following error when downloading the rpm package from Oracle :

TASK [williamyeh.oracle-java : get JDK tarball (as RPM file)] ******************
fatal: [ec2-52-208-102-233.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "dest": "/tmp/jdk-8u72-linux-x64.rpm", "failed": true, "msg": "Request failed", "response": "HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable", "state": "absent", "status_code": 503, "url": "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u72-b15/jdk-8u72-linux-x64.rpm"}

It looks like Oracle added recently some limitations..
Yesterday, the role worked perfectly!

When I try to download the rpm directly from my browser, I got this error :

After executing the role on Ubuntu 16.04,

java -version

returns

openjdk version "1.8.0_91"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-3ubuntu1~16.04.1-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

That is because /usr/lib/jvm/default links to the wrong version of java

~# ls -la /usr/lib/jvm/default-java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 25 20:41 /usr/lib/jvm/default-java -> java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64

As a workaround I have to remove the incorrect link and create the right one as shown at https://github.com/fdiotalevi/my-ansible-playbooks/blob/master/dev-machine/03-java-stuff.yml#L6

It would be nice to be able to specify jdk or java-server package to download/install.

To install tomcat for instance I need to set java_home variable

Hi. Thanks for your developing this ansible role.
It's very useful for me.

But I noticed one problem.

When I run ansible-playbook command with --check option, this role is failed.
The error message is following.

This error occurs only running with --check option.

After using the role for installing JDK with following parameters:

java_version: 8
java_subversion: 91
java_set_javahome: true

the script is copied to /etc/init.d directory (with execute permissions), but it seems not executed because immediately printing JAVA_HOME gives blank string. But on logging out and re-login, it gives appropriate value.

INFO: Works fine with CentOS 7.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi.

You need setup user values for jdk_version and other vars if user installed version not listed in set-role-variables.yml.

Fot example i try to install java_version 7 and java_subversion 79 jdk_arch x64 from local file.

In during installation i got error 'jdk_version' is undefined.

Typo in: missing ( ) to combine the check.

• name: get JDK tarball (as tar.gz file)

Change:
when: ansible_pkg_mgr != "yum" or ansible_pkg_mgr != "zypper" and ansible_os_family != 'Darwin'

Into:
when: (ansible_pkg_mgr != "yum" or ansible_pkg_mgr != "zypper") and ansible_os_family != 'Darwin'

Hi,

I have a playbook that only uses become on specific tasks.
I'm I correct assuming that your role only works if the host uses become= true?

I got this error:

TASK [williamyeh.oracle-java : install JDK via RPM file with yum] **************
fatal: [172.28.128.3]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "failed": true, "msg": "You need to be root to perform this command.\n", "rc": 1, "results": ["Loaded plugins: fastestmirror\n"]}

Are you planning to support SUSE distributions?

Hi,

I'm getting the following error when attempting to download the rpm and tar.gz (fetch.yml get JDK tarball (as RPM file) and get JDK tarball (as tar.gz file)

fatal: [my.domain]: FAILED! => {
  "changed": false, 
  "failed": true, 
  "msg": "Failed to validate the SSL certificate for edelivery.oracle.com:443. Make sure your managed systems have a valid CA certificate installed. If the website serving the url uses SNI you need python >= 2.7.9 on your managed machine or you can install the `urllib3`, `pyopenssl`, `ndg-httpsclient`, and `pyasn1` python modules to perform SNI verification in python >= 2.6. You can use validate_certs=False if you do not need to confirm the servers identity but this is unsafe and not recommended. Paths checked for this platform: /etc/ssl/certs, /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem, /etc/pki/tls/certs, /usr/share/ca-certificates/cacert.org, /etc/ansible"
}

(not using mac but it will probably happen there as well?)
Simple wget from the machine works. For now I could only make it work by adding to these tasks validate_certs: no, but I wonder if there's a better solution.

Using ansible 2.1.0.0, Python on some of the Ubuntu machines is 2.7.3, on the Centos machines is Python 2.6.6.

Let me know if any other information is needed.

Thanks,
Aviad

I'm using your role for Java installation, which works perfect on Vagrant Boxes.
Now I wanted to provision Raspberry Pi, and found out, that installation of a x86 Java on ARM doesn't work.

Raspbian has a ported version of Oracle JDK inside of their APT-Repo.

In my test env, I have several services being installed on a single machine.

However, with Ansible 2.0 (maybe earlier too), it is re-downloading the java tarball on each play. I think the culprit is 'check if specific version of Oracle JDK is installed?'. At a guess i would say that the response from check-tarball-installed.sh is being cached between plays because 'changed_when: false' means it will never report a change (and so doesn't re-register the jdk_info in order to skip "install-jdk-tarball.yml"):

https://github.com/William-Yeh/ansible-oracle-java/blob/master/tasks/use-tarball.yml#L12

To install JDK 8 on CentOS 6.7 I have to modify following condition:
when: java_version == 8 and (jdk8_info.stdout|from_json).not_found
to
when: java_version == 8

When I look at jdk8_info.stdout I see:
"msg": "{'stdout': '{ \"found\": true , \"not_found\": false }

I run playbook from

ansible --version

It looks jdk_tarball_file is not cleared after first role execution. The second role finds jdk_tarball_file still exists.

Hi,

Using it with Deabian 8.2 - from minimal distro - I found this issue:

fatal: [debian.ansible]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "dest '/usr/java' must be an existing dir"}

I tried the dir before using, but I had the same error

I'm searching to understand howto to solve...

William,
Would it be possible to prepare an Ansible role for Java Alpine Linux?

See this:
https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2015/08/minimal-java-docker-containers/

Hi,

I love your role for ansible and its working great. Very important for us is the possibility to use a stored installation file, because our servers haven't access to the web.

It would be nice to see a JDK9 support and maybe the setfact messages could be quiet.
The only thing i noticed is that the checkmode fails sometimes. I'll analyze it an give further
Feedback.

Best regards

Thomas

Please add support for Oracle jdk 8u121. I tried specifying it manually using this, but it won't download.

  vars:
    java_version: 8
    java_subversion: 121
    java_build: 13

fatal: [XXX]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "dest": "/tmp/jdk-8u121-linux-x64.rpm", "failed": true, "msg": "Request failed", "response": "HTTP Error 404: Not Found", "state": "absent", "status_code": 404, "url": "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u121-b13/jdk-8u121-linux-x64.rpm"}

When I specify:

java_version: 8
java_subversion: 102

I get this error:

TASK [williamyeh.oracle-java : get JDK tarball (as tar.gz file)] ***************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "the field 'args' has an invalid value, which appears to include a variable that is undefined.

If I don't set the java version, it works, but installs old java version 8 update 92 - the default one.

How do I specify the latest version?

I ran it on ubuntu 14.04 64, and got these:

Got this error with latest version from galaxy

If you already installed java, the whole file install.yml is skiped. So var java_set_javahome does not work in this situation.
Thank you for your work.

Seeing the below error with the java role, I know it is ignored, still ....
