RE: Problem with my first "baby steps" into the Toolbox

James

I think the path to your class needs to be on the classpath

Eg if your class is in /java/classes

Then your classpath is
/java/classes:/QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/jt400.jar

This is assuming that you are using the default package (ie no package),
which is not recommend anyway.


So if you put you class in a package

Eg

Package james.lampert:

Then your class test01 would be in directory /java/classes/james/lampert

And you javac command would be

        javac 
                -classpath
/java/classes:/QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/jt400.jar
                james.lampert.test01.java

Subject: Problem with my first "baby steps" into the Toolbox


I just tried to compile and run a simple Java program that instantiates an
AS400 object, and calls a method on it. And I've run into a problem.

It refused to compile unless I gave it a "-classpath
/QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/jt400.jar". The docs led me to believe
that this was supposed to be implicitly in the system classpath.

Then, if I call it without specifying the aforementioned classpath on the
Java call, it fails to find the AS400 class. But if I call it and I DO
specify the aforementioned classpath, it refuses to find my test class.

The source is as follows:

import com.ibm.as400.access.*;
class test01 {
   public static void main (String args[]) {
       System.out.println("I like spam!");
       AS400 as400 = new AS400("localhost");
       System.out.println("CCSID = " + as400.getCcsid());
   }
}

I compiled it with:
    javac -classpath /QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/jt400.jar
test01.java

If I call it as:
    java test01

I get:
    I like spam!
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/ibm/as400/access/AS400
          test01.main([Ljava/lang/String;)V+8 (test03.java:5)

If I call it as:
    java -classpath /QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/jt400.jar test01

I get:
    Attaching Java program to
/QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/jt400.jar.
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test01


HHHHEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP       
MMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
