2m readAdding Java to a IRIS Docker image
IRIS is a powerful platform and one of the new features is the Java Business Host (DOC: Connecting Systems Using Java Business Hosts) that allow you to develop Business Services and Business Operations directly in Java (JavaDocs of the InterSystems Gateway Package).
I was testing this feature using an IRIS Docker image, but this image doesn't come with Java, the image is a bare Ubuntu image plus IRIS. So I had to build a new image adding the Java stuff. After some research I finally get this Dockerfile:
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get upgrade -y && \
apt-get install -y software-properties-common && \
add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -y && \
apt-get update && \
echo oracle-java7-installer shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections && \
apt-get install -y oracle-java8-installer && \
apt-get clean
I also build a docker compose file in order to create the container and start it in a easy way:
services:
iris:
build: .
image: irisjava:v1.1.0
command: --log /usr/irissys/mgr/messages.log
hostname: iris
container_name: iris2019.1
volumes:
- ${PWD}/shared/:/shared
ports:
- 51773:51773
- 52773:52773
- 55555:55555
environment:
- ISC_DATA_DIRECTORY=/shared/iris_conf.d
Everything works well after a 'docker-compose up -d'
Maybe this is useful for someone working with IRIS Docker images and Java Business Hosts.
