You won’t find how to install the JDK on the puppet page describing the package
resource. You need to first find out how you would install the JDK to an
alternate path – that will be in the JDK documentation and not Puppet. Once
you figure it out with the JDK you then specify the parameter in the puppet
resource.
I did a quick look but can’t find it on the linux platform (I’m primarily a
Windows guy - maybe someone can chime in), but I believe you need to create a
properties file with the options you want to set during installation, and I
believe it’s the USER_INSTALL_DIR property you’ll want to set.
So, find out how to do this silently first w/out puppet, and that will tell you
what you need to tell puppet to install it where you want.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help on finding the specific parameters on the linux
platform – the ones for Windows seem easier to find.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your reply.
i couldnt find anything related to JDK installation option in that page but I
was thinking to do it this way ...
class java_rpm::install {
$version = 'jdk-7u25-linux-x64.rpm'
package { $version: provider => rpm,
exec {"$version": install_options =>
['-vh','--prefix=/operation/tools/jdk-1.7'],
owner => operation,
group => admin,
mode => 0755,
command => "rpm -ivh --prefix=/operation/tools/jdk-1.7 jdk-7u25-linux-x64. rpm"
}
source =>
"/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/development/modules/java_rpm/files/jdk-7u25-linux-x64
}
Thanks,

Try the install_options attribute of the package type. You need to know what
the install option is for the JDK itself to go to another folder, then use the
install_options attribute in puppet.
