Deploying a Repl With Both Python And Java

Replit Help
1

Hey does anyone know how I can run a Repl with both Java and Python installed? I ask because I have Python code that requires me to run a Java program as well. Basically, it looks like this:

  1. I have a jar file that I need to run first. There is an auth flow I need to go through with this Java app and it needs to stay running.
  2. I need to run a Python program that connects to that Java app through a REST API. On my computer I just use localhost

Welcome to Ask! You might be able to achieve this by editing the entrypoint for your Repl.

Hey @RobertGrzesik!

Just click the ⋮ next to “Files” then click “Show hidden files”. Next click on the .replit file and finally you can change the entrypoint to whatever file you want to run.

Wow I didn’t know this existed, thank you! This is very helpful.

However, my issue is more around making sure that I have a Java runtime installed. I think I can just run the jar file with Python. Is there some way to modify these hidden files to make sure that the environment has a Java runtime installed?

Try installing the Java runtime on your Repl. You can follow this tutorial on the Replit Docs: https://docs.replit.com/programming-ide/nix-on-replit#installation
