RE: Classpath question

I don't understand this.

We have classpath defined in RPG pre-defined compile time arrays where we cannot wildcard the .jar files. In my application I needed multiple .jar to defined in classpath, wildcard is not supported, I listed the .jars by reducing the folder names to 2 char - no other alternatives for us..
It is working so we left it as it is now. I would like to know any other easy methods... In V6R1...

This is what I do:

cd /mydir

export
CLASSPATH=./classes:/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/ext/db2_classes.jar:$CL
ASSPATH

java -Djava.ext.dirs=./lib -Djava.version=1.5 my.package.runnable.MyClass
$1

The '-Djava.ext.dirs=./lib' will attach all jars in the /mydir/lib-directory.

I don't want to unpack... I prefer using the jars.

Thanks Craig. This at least helps explain why. If I were to unpack the
jar

and put it in the ifs the '/JarFiles/' way would work. I think I prefer using the jar and making the full specification

For .class files, yes. For .jar files, no.

Shouldn't this
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(CLASSPATH)
VALUE('/JarFiles/datatelDatabaseUtility.jar:/JarFiles/sqljdbc.jar:/Ja
r
Files/jt400.jar')
REPLACE(*YES)

And this
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(CLASSPATH) VALUE('/JarFiles/')

REPLACE(*YES)

Work exactly the same?

Shouldn't the second way provide a path to all jar files in the
/JarFiles directory in the IFS?
