Re: How to define the CLASSPATH on the AS400?

A handy thing to do also  is to is to set the CLASSPATH in your .profile
file stored in your home directory (usually /home/userid).  For instance,
in my home directory on the AS400 (/home/fstewart) I have file .profile
(that is 'dot profile') which contains:

WAS_ROOT=/QIBM/ProdData/WebASAdv
#WAS_ROOT=/drops.ejs/driver13

CP=$WAS_ROOT/lib
CP=$CP:$WAS_ROOT/lib/ejs.jar
CP=$CP:$WAS_ROOT/lib/servlet.jar
CP=$CP:$WAS_ROOT/lib/ujc.jar
CP=$CP:$WAS_ROOT/lib/server/ibmwebas.jar
CP=$CP:$WAS_ROOT/deployedEJBs/Inc.jar
CP=$CP:.

CLASSPATH=$CP


Your .profile file is invoked each time you enter QSHell. In your case you
could just specify:
CLASSPATH=.:/QIBM/ProdData/http/public/jt400/lib/jt400.jar
in the .profile file, and then if you need more things added, do:
export -s CLASSPATH=/mydir/moreclasses:$CLASSPATH

In qshell on the AS/400, you 'export' the classpath.  For example
     export
CLASSPATH=/myClasses:/otherClasses/x.jar:/QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/jt400.jar


Note CLASSPATH must be all upper case.
Note the separator character is the colon.

I have recently started writing simple Java programs on the AS400
using QSH, but have encoutereted the following problem.

I written to following code:-

    import com.ibm.as400.access.*;

    public class AS400Connect
    {

        public static void main (String args[ ])
        {
            AS400 Cobalt = new AS400 ();

        }
    }


When I attempt to compile the code, I get the error

    'Class AS400 not found in type declaration.'

I believe this is caused by the CLASSPATH not being defined correctly.

Therefore I how do I difine the CLASSPATH, so that the compiler can
find the necessary classes.

Thankyou in advace.
