Have you seen the Java prototype wizard in RDi? It will lead you nicely by the hand to the right path for the class and all that. I wonder if it would have save you some headaches.

Scott I have changed my prototype to this:
d Levenshtein pr o extproc(*java:
d 'Difference':
d *constructor)

d LD pr 10i 0 extproc(*java:
d 'Difference':
d 'LD')
d iString1 like(String1)
d iString2 like(String1)

and moved my Difference.class to a new directory '/JavaSrc', and added that
directory to my classpath.

But I am still getting a noClassDef found error.

Any Idea?

Thanks.

Hi Nick,

/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext is the Java "extensions" directory. It's
supposed to be used for extensions to the Java language, not for your
own code.

It's not the "default directory of your CLASSPATH" because it's not part
of your CLASSPATH. Indeed, the files in that directory are loaded
before the CLASSPATH is even considered.

One of the biggest problems with using the extensions directory is that
any code in that directory is loaded automatically for every Java
program. That means you can never have two versions (such as test &
production versions) running on the same system, because the stuff in
the ext directory is *always* loaded first.

My recommendation is that you remove it from the ext directory.
Instead, create your own directory. Maybe with something like this:

CRTDIR ('/java')
CRTDIR ('/java/publicclasses')

Put all of your classes you want to be available to everyone into that
directory, and then set the CLASSPATH envvar to point to that directory.

ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(CLASSPATH) VALUE('/java/publicclasses')

That's just a suggestion though. The reason your example doesn't work
is that it's expecting the Difference class to be in a subdirectory
named "levenshtein". So for every directory in yoru CLASSPATH, it's
looking for a subdirectory named levenshtein that contains a Difference
class.

In the above example, if the CLASSPATH is /java/publicclasses then your
code is looking for a file in the IFS named
/java/publicclasses/levenshtein/Difference.class -- because of the way
you coded it, it's looking for a levenshtein/Difference.class in all of
your CLASSPATH directories.

Hi all I have a need to call a java program from RPG. Here is my
prototypes:

d Levenshtein pr o extproc(*java:
d
'levenshtein.Difference':
d *constructor)

d LD pr 10i 0 extproc(*java:
d
'levenshtein.Difference':
d 'LD')
d iString1 like(String1)
d iString2 like(String1)
d Class s o class(*java:
d 'levenshtein.Difference')
d String1 s o
CLASS(*JAVA:'java.lang.String')
/free

// constructor for java class
Class = Levenshtein();

When I try to call the above constructor I get an RNX0301 NoClassDefFound

Here is my java program:
The Program is in a Jar file located in QIBM\UserData\Java400\ext
Is this the default directory for the classpath var or do i have to
change
it to look here?

package levenshtein;


public class Difference {
//*****************************
// Compute Levenshtein distance
//*****************************

public int LD (String s, String t) {
int d[][]; // matrix
int n; // length of s
int m; // length of t
int i; // iterates through s
int j; // iterates through t
char s_i; // ith character of s
char t_j; // jth character of t
int cost; // cost

// Step 1

n = s.length ();
m = t.length ();
if (n == 0) {
return m;
}
if (m == 0) {
return n;
}
d = new int[n+1][m+1];

// Step 2

for (i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
d[i][0] = i;
}
for (j = 0; j <= m; j++) {
d[0][j] = j;
}
// Step 3
for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
s_i = s.charAt (i - 1);
// Step 4
for (j = 1; j <= m; j++) {
t_j = t.charAt (j - 1);

// Step 5

if (s_i == t_j) {
cost = 0;
}
else {
cost = 1;
}
// Step 6

d[i][j] = Minimum (d[i-1][j]+1, d[i][j-1]+1, d[i-1][j-1]
+
cost);

}

}

// Step 7

return d[n][m];

}


// get minimum of three values
private int Minimum (int a, int b, int c) {
int mi;

mi = a;
if (b < mi) {
mi = b;
}
if (c < mi) {
mi = c;
}
return mi;
}
}
