Nick,
Barbara has already given you the key to solving the issue. This
particular issue is one that comes up in Java pretty often, particularly
in learning curve mode.
Java needs to find the class and the classpath is the only way. So if
you have only /JavaSrc on your classpath, all class resolution will
include that folder to begin with. But this isn't always clear because
you may just decide to copy a class file from one directory to another
and still expect it to work, just like copying an executable or batch
file from one folder to another works with other programs. Java is
different because it has a "package" declaration in the java source
itself that it uses to resolve the class. So if your java source has a
package declaration, the java class file has to be in a folder with the
same structure as the package. I won't go into the details as to why
this is necessary but take it as a "given" for now. There are other ways
to load classes but we won't go into that either.
So if you decide to create a java program with the package name of
"programs.nick.levenshtein" and create a class using that package name
and the class is called MyClass, then if your classpath has /JavaSrc it
in, your JavaSrc folder must also have a subfolder structure of
/programs/nick/levenshtein/ and the MyClass.class file should be in it.
Invocation is also relative to that so if you were to execute the class
it would be programs/nick/levenshtein/MyClass.class and if the classpath
has /JavaSrc in it, it would be one of the folders that would be checked
for the path/class combination that your package declaration/Class name
determines. So in the invocation of
programs/nick/levenshtein/MyClass.class the classpath of /JavaSrc would
allow /programs/nick/levenshtein/MyClass.class to be found (remember?
You compiled into /JavaSrc/programs/nick/levenshtein/MyClass.class)
So either remove any package declaration OR make sure that you have the
class in a folder that is a combination of a classpath folder plus your
package name (in a folder of the same structure with "/" in place of the
"." in the package name)
Hope this will help a bit more.

Scott I have changed my prototype to this:that
d Levenshtein pr o extproc(*java:
d 'Difference':
d *constructor)
d LD pr 10i 0 extproc(*java:
d 'Difference':
d 'LD')
d iString1 like(String1)
d iString2 like(String1)
and moved my Difference.class to a new directory '/JavaSrc', and added
directory to my classpath.NoClassDefFound
But I am still getting a noClassDef found error.
Any Idea?
Thanks.

Hi Nick,
/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext is the Java "extensions" directory. It's
supposed to be used for extensions to the Java language, not for your
own code.
It's not the "default directory of your CLASSPATH" because it's not part
of your CLASSPATH. Indeed, the files in that directory are loaded
before the CLASSPATH is even considered.
One of the biggest problems with using the extensions directory is that
any code in that directory is loaded automatically for every Java
program. That means you can never have two versions (such as test &
production versions) running on the same system, because the stuff in
the ext directory is *always* loaded first.
My recommendation is that you remove it from the ext directory.
Instead, create your own directory. Maybe with something like this:
CRTDIR ('/java')
CRTDIR ('/java/publicclasses')
Put all of your classes you want to be available to everyone into that
directory, and then set the CLASSPATH envvar to point to that directory.
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(CLASSPATH) VALUE('/java/publicclasses')
That's just a suggestion though. The reason your example doesn't work
is that it's expecting the Difference class to be in a subdirectory
named "levenshtein". So for every directory in yoru CLASSPATH, it's
looking for a subdirectory named levenshtein that contains a Difference
class.
In the above example, if the CLASSPATH is /java/publicclasses then your
code is looking for a file in the IFS named
/java/publicclasses/levenshtein/Difference.class -- because of the way
you coded it, it's looking for a levenshtein/Difference.class in all of
your CLASSPATH directories.

Hi all I have a need to call a java program from RPG. Here is my'levenshtein.Difference':
prototypes:
d Levenshtein pr o extproc(*java:

d LD pr 10i 0 extproc(*java:
d
'levenshtein.Difference':
d 'LD')

d iString2 like(String1)
d Class s o class(*java:

d String1 s o
/free
// constructor for java class
Class = Levenshtein();
When I try to call the above constructor I get an RNX0301
d[i-1][j-1]change
Here is my java program:
The Program is in a Jar file located in QIBM\UserData\Java400\ext
Is this the default directory for the classpath var or do i have to
it to look here?
