run question.

[stevek]

Think I have my path variables set up ok until I try to run an app. I
need to enter java -cp . <app name>.

What am I missing.

TIA

A question.

Presuming that you're writing because your app doesn't work, what happens
when you try to make it run? Error messages, JVM, expected behavior, etc.

Have you set the environment variable CLASSPATH to include '.' ?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Test1

Thought so. I the following not correct?

CLASSPATH=C:\.;C:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2_01\bin;E:\.;C:\Program
Files\sql2kjdbc\lib\msbase.jar;c:\program fi
les\sql2kjdbc\lib\mssqlserver.jar;c:\program files\sql2kjdbc\lib\msutil.jar

les\sql2kjdbc\lib\mssqlserver.jar;c:\program files\sql2kjdbc\lib\msutil.jar

Try to set "." as suggested...
The "C:\.;" does not set ".", it is just the same as "C:\;"
Try: CLASSPATH=.;C:\.;C:\Program...

Would work, though you don't need the "C:\."
try: java -classpath . Test1

No, it is not. This is the reason why using CLASSPATH at all is a bad idea.
Besides, you've mixed up PATH and CLASSPATH.

No, it is not. This is the reason why using CLASSPATH at all is a bad idea.
Besides, you've mixed up PATH and CLASSPATH.

The main reason is that you don't have a portable build because you have a
dependency on the build machine and/or that you might accidentally compile
against the wrong libraries on the given dependant build machine.

You have done the typical beginner's mistake of setting the CLASSPATH
environment variable.
Unset it.

http://www.xdweb.net/~dibblego/java/faq/answers.html#q5
"Generally, you do not set the CLASSPATH environment variable for a standard
SDK or JRE installation. The CLASSPATH environment variable is set for other
reasons, usually the installation of third-party libraries. Some people
(including myself) argue that setting the CLASSPATH environment variable at
all is bad practice; it should be set dynamically at each build. This keeps
the build machine clean from potential "contamination" from libraries in the
CLASSPATH. Setting the CLASSPATH environment variable was required for
installation of the SDK in versions prior to 1.2. This "myth" has
unfortunately carried over to later versions of Java and confusion has
resulted. A good rule of thumb is, "If you don't know how to set the
CLASSPATH (since you are relatively new to Java), don't set the CLASSPATH at
all". More information on the CLASSPATH environment variable can be found at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/tools.html"

You can get further help at the Java wiki.

Thank you Dag. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Your suggestion worked
just fine.

Thanks Tony. I will give your e-mail some thought. I used the tools.html
to get me where I was with setting the classpath. Dag's suggestion work
fine.
