RE: CCSID of JAR files

["Clapham, Paul" <pclapham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the other hand, I routinely copy JAR files from a PC to the iSeries using
a mapped NetServer drive. They end up with CCSID of 437 and I use them with
no problem.

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!
