Why? java path not coming before /usr/bin

ok, how come the java path is not coming before /usr/bin

.profile

PATH=/usr/java71/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:$HOME/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin.

export PATH

if [ -s "$MAIL" ]           # This is at Shell startup.  In normal
then echo "$MAILMSG"        # operation, the Shell checks
fi                          # periodically.

# User specific aliases and functions
export AS_JAVA=/usr/java71
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java71
export JAVA_BINDIR="${JAVA_HOME}/bin"
echo $PATH | /bin/grep -q -v "${JAVA_BINDIR}"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then export PATH="${JAVA_BINDIR}:${PATH}"; fi
echo $PATH
export GLASSFISH_PARENT=/u01/oracle/glassfish
export GLASSFISH_HOME=/u01/oracle/glassfish/glassfish
echo $PATH | /bin/grep -q -v "${GLASSFISH_HOME}/bin"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then export PATH="${PATH}:${GLASSFISH_HOME}/bin"; fi
echo $PATH

Open in new window

Then I run the following and it shows /usr/java71/bin is in front of /usr/bin/
but then

$ ./.profile
[YOU HAVE NEW MAIL]
/usr/java71/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/home/glassfsh/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin.
/usr/java71/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/home/glassfsh/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin.:/u01/oracle/glassfish/glassfish/bin
$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/home/glassfsh/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java71/bin.:/u01/oracle/glassfish/glassfish/bin

Open in new window

You must "source" the .profile, i.e. run it inside the current shell, like this

. ./.profile

dot space dot slash dot profile

Didn't I mention that in our previous thread?
