RE: Classpath issues- I think.

Hey Joe Sam
I realize now this is not a classpath problem and never was.
I am making progress, but still having problems.
Part of my problem is that I was only exporting my .java file and not my
.class file(that can be a big problem).
I have to get with my network person to see if he can see anything in
the email logs to indicate my remaining problem.

Hi Mike,

I'm not sure we're getting enough or complete information.

The program still runs, but it doesn't appear to be
hitting the email piece.

How so? Are you getting any errors/exceptions? If it's a classpath

issue, you should get a class not found or similar. If no exceptions,
then
there may be some wait or other issue with email itself. You're not
just
eating exceptions, are you? ( OT: I have a client who is paying
perfectly
good money to a perfectly bad offshore group who does just that. Now
they
are paying me to clean up the code and make it work properly. Somehow I

miss the savings part of that process...)

All of the java code in folder mercury.

Yep, but more specifically in engineering\mercury\iseriesjava,
right?
Still, you say:

So after changine MercTest, I added mail.jar and activation.jar to
P:\enginnering\iseriesjava

but your classpath is:

P:\engineering\mercury\iseriesjava\mail.jar;P:\engineering\mercury\iseri
esjava\activation.jar

Please clarify. Do you have enginnering\iseriesjava *and*
engineering\mercury\iseriesjava directories? I don't really understand
your
call:

java -cp
P:\\engineering\mercury\iseriesjava;P:\engineering\mercury\iseriesjava
\j

t400.jar;P:\engineering\mercury\iseriesjava\mail.jar;P:\engineering\merc

ury\iseriesjava\activation.jar mercury.MercTest

since the default "." goes away when you specify classpath, it seems to
say
that you also have a engineering\mercury\iseriesjava\mercury directory.
I'm
sure I'm missing something...

Something I do to cut down on classpath clutter is to change to the
appropriate top directory first. That assumes your classes and jars are
in
a hierarchy. Also, even in Windows, for Java paths you can use forward
slashes. Then you can use "." and "./pathFromCurrentDirectoryToJar"
statements in the classpath.

I always seem to have trouble with this.

I have a java program that I have been running for quite a while. I
have just made changes to it, to email me in the event of a problem.
It works fine in WDSC, but when I export it and run it, then no email.

I have added the mail.jar and activation to the folder and changed my
classpath, but still no luck.

Initially I had this
P:\engineering\iseriesjava. - this contained jt400.jar and my .bat
file containing the following line java -cp

P:\\engineering\mercury\iseriesjava;P:\engineering\mercury\iseriesjava\j

t400.jar mercury.MercTest

All of the java code in folder mercury.

So after changine MercTest, I added mail.jar and activation.jar to
P:\enginnering\iseriesjava And changed the .bat file to look like
java -cp

P:\\engineering\mercury\iseriesjava;P:\engineering\mercury\iseriesjava\j

t400.jar;P:\engineering\mercury\iseriesjava\mail.jar;P:\engineering\merc

ury\iseriesjava\activation.jar mercury.MercTest

The program still runs, but it doesn't appear to be hitting the email
piece.

I'm not sure how to fix this. Is there a way for me to debug the java
program outside of WDSC? I have put System.out.println at the point

of

the email, but they don't print unless I run it in WDSC.

Mike
