Hi, i'm trying to configuring Oracle REST Data Services(formerly know as Oracle Application Express Listener) on Oracle Database 11g Express Edition to able me use APEX.
I have downloaded and unzipped it but when it came to running "java -jar ords.war" i get the command prompt error;
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.'
After researching i was told i need to include my java installation bin directory in the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE. On checking my server (Windows server 2012 by the way), i discovered java is not installed in the first place. So question is do i need to install java? if so, which? or should i just include in unzipped Oracle REST Data Services folder in the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES?
