can't find java on synology 213j

[charlesw]

No go.
I've downloaded the soft float version as suggested, but the package installer says :
I was expecting the file /volume1/public/ejre-7u40-fcs-b43-linux-arm-vfp-hflt- client_headless-27_aug_2013.tar.gz.

I checked this in the package scripts on this page.

Here's the relevant section:

elif [ "${SYNO_CPU_ARCH}" == "armv7l" ]; then
JAVA_BINARY="ejre-7u21-fcs-b11-linux-arm-vfp-client_headless-04_apr_2013.tar.gz"
JAVA_BUILD="ARMv6/7 Linux - Headless EABI, VFP, SoftFP ABI, Little Endian"

This is using the soft-float version of Java.

That's interesting. It seems something has changed since the scripts on the web page were posted.

Which version of DSM are you using?

Thanks, I've left a comment about this issue at patters blog referring to this thread. There are already a few other comments of DS213j users related to this issue. I think that the package will get a working update soon.

Sorry to be a bit slow, I have to search a bit at each step. It's version 4.3-3776, but the DSM update offers to go to 4.3-3776-1 (even though it's brand new and updated iteself when I installed it at lunchtime today). I've told it to go ahead and install the update.

No change with the updated DSM

The DSM version is not related to this issue. You will have to wait till the Java package gets a working update.

As a temporary workaround, you should be able to rename the soft-float .tar.gz file to the hard-float filename. This will allow it to be installed by the defective Java package.

This is using the soft-float version of Java.

This page doesn't show the scripts from the recent update of the package. The relevant section in the scripts from the recent update is

Code:

elif [ "${SYNO_CPU_ARCH}" == "armv7l" ]; then
    JAVA_BINARY="ejre-7u40-fcs-b43-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-client_headless-27_aug_2013.tar.gz"
    JAVA_BUILD="ARMv6/7 Linux - Headless - Client Compiler EABI, VFP, HardFP ABI, Little Endian"

Please try the suggestion from Simon by doing the following steps:

1) Remove the current *.tar.gz file from your public shared folder and uninstall the Java package and MinimServer

2) Download the file

Code:

ejre-7u40-fcs-b43-linux-arm-vfp-sflt-client_headless-27_aug_2013.tar.gz

and rename it to

Code:

ejre-7u40-fcs-b43-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-client_headless-27_aug_2013.tar.gz

3) Put the renamed file to the public folder and reinstall the Java package and MinimServer.

Thanks

It works ! (renaming the Java tar.gz, starting minimserver and rebooting the NAS).
All my thanks to winxi and simoncn.
