RE: CCSID of JAR files

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was having this same exact problem with jar files mail.jar and
activation.jar from Sun earlier this week!  Crazy!  Try repackaging the
jars from your PC and then FTPing them to your iSeries making sure to
specify BINARY before you transmit.  That should put it at CCSID 819.

Just a thought,

Subject: CCSID of JAR files

Hello,
        I am having a problem with a system where even though all the
JAR files I require are in the *SYS level classpath environment
variable, I keep getting ClassDefNotFound exceptions. The classpath is
correct, the jar files are where they belong, but it still doesn't find
my classes!

        What I did notice was that the CCSID of the JAR files on this
system is 437, while on my test systems they are all 1252. Would/could
this cause the problem I am seeing in this situation? Thanks for your
help!
