Running the JAZN shell in Oracle 10g

Question

Hello all,
I am a student taking the Oracle 10g DBA class. I am having trouble running the JAZN shell script that will allow me to use SYSDBA and SYSOPR profiles in iSQL*Plus. I was wondering if there was someone out there who could explain this script, what it does and help me locate where my proble is.
This is the script the book gives and say to run:
Setting up iSQL*Plus for SYSDBA and SYSOPER Access
These roles require special setup and authentication for security reasons. To do this you must set up a user in the Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J) user manager and grant access to the webDba role for the user. You must set the JAVA_HOME OS environment variable to $ORACLE_HOME/jdk.
1. Change to the correct directory:
Cd $ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/isqlplus/application-deployments/isqlplus
(I am able to get to this directory okay.)
2. Run the JAZN shell:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java/-Djava.security.properties=$ORACLE_HOME \
/oc4j/j2ee/home/config/jazn.security.props-jar $ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/home/jazn.jar-user “iSQL*Plus DBA/admin” \
-password welcome –shell
(When I run type the shell as written it doesn't look like anything happens. I am in the same directory as before. I did get an error a couple of times telling me that the directory /bin/java did not exist. When I try to go into the $JAVA_HOME directory is say that it does not exist.
--------------- I have never gotten past here ----------------------
Now what I gather from looking at this shell is that it creates an admin profile with a password of welcome.
3. Create a user, choosing a username and password:
JAZN> adduser “iSQL*Plus DBA” username password
4. Grant the webDba role to the user:
JAZN> grantrole webDba “iSQL*Plus DBA” username
5. Exit the JAZN shell:
JAZN> exit
This part looks like it is where you create the SYSDBA and SYSOPER profiles and passwords. You also grand these profiles webDba access. Then exit the shell.

Hello Werner,
I did have to install Java on my computer. I created a Java directory and in this directory I placed the jre1.6.0_18 file which I downloaded. This is the Java application. The path I placed it in is /usr/java/jre1.6.0_18.
I also looked at what I thought were all my environment varriables with the $ env command and saw nothing that refered to java or JAVA_HOME.
After setting JAVA_HOME i get an error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: .u01.app.oracle.product.10.2.0.db_1.oc4j.j2ee.home.jazn.jar-user
(I have no idea what this means)
My questions:
Is this the file that I should be pointing to? I do not understand what the /jdk directory is.
From what I could see from the link that you provided was the Oracle Application Server Installation Guide. Is this what you wanted me to read?
