RE: NoClassDefFoundError: testjava.class

Try to take the ".class" off of your java command so it's

qsh cmd('java -classpath $CLASSPATH testjava')

Subject: NoClassDefFoundError: testjava.class

I have a java program testjava.java, which successfully compiles into
testjava.class.

Both of these are in my current directory, /home/pdow.

When I try to run the program with

qsh cmd('javap -s -public -classpath $CLASSPATH testjava.class')

I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
testjava.class Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
testjava.class
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:497)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:639)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:349)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:605)

This program uses POI version 3.7, and the classpath is:

.
:/java/dom4j/dom4j-1.6.1.jar
:/java/poi3.7/poi-3.7-20101029.jar
:/java/poi3.7/poi-scratchpad-3.7-20101029.jar
:/java/poi3.7/poi-ooxml-3.7-20101029.jar
:/java/poi3.7/poi-ooxml-schemas-3.7-20101029.jar
:/java/xmlbeans/jsr173_1.0_api.jar
:/java/xmlbeans/xbean.jar

Googling tells me that "NoClassDefFoundError" means the class was found
during compile time, but is not present at runtime. The environment did
not change between

qsh cmd('javac -classpath $CLASSPATH testjava.java')
Command ended normally with exit status 0.

and

qsh cmd('java -classpath $CLASSPATH testjava.class')
Command ended normally with exit status 1.

I also tried

qsh cmd('javap -s -public -classpath $CLASSPATH testjava.class')
Command ended normally with exit status 1.

which simply got

ERROR:Could not find testjava.class

So what's going on? Why can the compiler find it, but not the java
runtime?
