# Java Driver
|
|
|
|
Name: `java`
|
|
|
|
The `Java` driver is used to execute Java applications packaged into a Java Jar
|
|
file. The driver currently requires the Jar file be accessible via
|
|
HTTP from the Nomad client.
|
|
|
|
## Task Configuration
|
|
|
|
The `java` driver supports the following configuration in the job spec:
|
|
|
|
* `jar_source` - **(Required)** The hosted location of the source Jar file. Must be accessible
|
|
from the Nomad client, via HTTP
|
|
|
|
* `args` - **(Optional)** The argument list for the `java` command, space separated.
|
|
|
|
* `jvm_options` - **(Optional)** JVM options to be passed while invoking java. These options
|
|
are passed not validated in any way in Nomad.
|
|
|
|
## Client Requirements
|
|
|
|
The `java` driver requires Java to be installed and in your systems `$PATH`.
|
|
The `jar_source` must be accessible by the node running Nomad. This can be an
|
|
internal source, private to your cluster, but it must be reachable by the client
|
|
over HTTP.
|
|
|
|
## Client Attributes
|
|
|
|
The `java` driver will set the following client attributes:
|
|
|
|
* `driver.java` - Set to `1` if Java is found on the host node. Nomad determines
|
|
this by executing `java -version` on the host and parsing the output
|
|
* `driver.java.version` - Version of Java, ex: `1.6.0_65`
|
|
* `driver.java.runtime` - Runtime version, ex: `Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-466.1-11M4716)`
|
|
* `driver.java.vm` - Virtual Machine information, ex: `Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-466.1, mixed mode)`
|
|
|
|
## Resource Isolation
|
|
|
|
The resource isolation provided varies by the operating system of
|
|
the client and the configuration.
|
|
|
|
On Linux, Nomad will attempt to use cgroups, namespaces, and chroot
|
|
to isolate the resources of a process. If the Nomad agent is not
|
|
running as root many of these mechanisms cannot be used.
|
|
|
|
As a baseline, the Java jars will be ran inside a Java Virtual Machine,
|
|
providing a minimum amount of isolation.
