Ron,

Your class should include the package

Ie com.pmtr.tools.GetExchangeRates

And your classpath will represent the folder that the package is in + the
jar file name if it's a jar

If your code is in a jar, you don't need to set up the package structure,
that will be in the jar, so your claspath will be the folder that you jar
file is in

Eg mycode.jar in package /JAVA


JAVA CLASS(com.pmtr.tools.GetExchangeRates) CLASSPATH('/JAVA/mycode.jar')

cheers

Hello

I created a plain old Java program in WDSc that retrieves currency 
exchange rate info from a web site and writes this data to the iSeries 
database.
In WDSc everything works fine.

I export the project as a jar file to the iSeries IFS and CRTJVAPGM 
CLSF('/com/pmtr/tools/CurrencyConverter.jar') OPTIMIZE(20) works great. 
When I try to run the command JAVA CLASS(GetExchangeRates) or JAVA 
CLASS(GetExchangeRates) CLASSPATH('/com/pmtr/tools')  or any other number 
of combinations it fails with:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: GetExchangeRates  
      java/lang/Throwable.<init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V+4 
(Throwable.java:85) 
      java/lang/Error.<init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V+1 (Error.java:41)     
      java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError.<init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V+1 
(NoClassDefFoundError.java:38)
Java program completed with exit code 1  


The program was created with:  package com.pmtr.tools; 
and I deployed it in the IFS using directory structure: 
Directory  . . . . :   /com/pmtr/tools
        CurrencyConverter. >   STMF

I set the CLASSPATH to CLASSPATH                   '/com/pmtr/tools'
I've tried several combinations. 
When I look at the jar file using WinZip the class is there with path: 
com\pmtr\tools\

Since the GetExchangeRates is in a JAR do I need to do anything special?

Thank You
Ron
