             Summary: ChildProcess does not use the JAVA_HOME
                 Key: TIKA-2753
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2753
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: server
    Affects Versions: 1.19.1
            Reporter: Julien Massiera


If the user starting the Tika Server does not have the path to java configured 
in its PATH var, the following error appears in the logs :


java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "java": error=2, No such file or 
directory
    at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1048)
    at

    ... 6 more

 

By checking the TikaServerWatchDog class I noticed that the startProcess method 
of the ChildProcess private class is using the 'java' argument. As my user only 
have the JAVA_HOME configured in its /etc/profile and not the path to java, 
this explains the error.

It would be better if the startProcess relies on the JAVA_HOME env var to use 
java instead of assuming that the java program is configured in the PATH env 
var of the user.
