I am getting the following error: Unable to locate class: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: on an iPlanet WS. We have ensured that the classpath in jvm12.conf includes the jar file with path. Any ideas?

 

Well, now I'm pulling my hair out even more because I can't get it to resolve anything in jaxws-rt.jar at runtime. Note: compile-time still works FINE.
I was messing with classpaths and stuff (and the endorsed dirs option of course) and it was "working" to the extent I had posted before, but then I kept playing with it and at some point I said, this isn't working and I need to reset all this stuff back to the way it was.
... so I did that. And now it won't resolve "PolicyException:"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/xml/ws/policy/PolicyException
This doesn't mean anything to you guys I bet, but that happens when it FIRST gets inside the web service code, which references PolicyException (doesn't even use it at that point.. I'm assuming the import is screwing it up when it's in the constructor). So now it won't resolve at all. Before, it was getting past this point and telling me the "method not found" error on the next line or this same error for WSBindingProvider two lines down, when it's actually being used. AWESOME.
I downloaded the latest jaxws-rt.jar and all its dependencies, shoved that into my lib folder, and set the endorsed dir to that folder (There's kind of a web of dependencies here. jaxws-rt.jar expects all its dependencies to be in the same folder, it seems, so I don't know how it was "working" before when I just copied jaxws-rt.jar into my separate endorsed dir - but I can't move all of those files to endorsed because I need them in my project (which expects them to be in the lib folder)). What happened? It went back to my original "String" error (first error in the first post), which means it's not getting endorsed at all from that location.
What a mess.
Can someone tell me what the heck I'm supposed to do with this jar file?

  • The following Error:  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundE

    Dear People,
    I would really kindly welocme any help on the following error problem:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: CoreUpdate
    The program compiles successfully and there are no errors generated from that but I get the above error when I try to run it. I have scanned over all the previous replies that have been posted for this sort of error and have tried all the following solutions:
    1) Set classpath to point to the bin and lib directories of where the JDK1.3.1 is installed in.
    2) Have actually placed in my classpath the EXACT directory to which the tools.jar file is located (within the lib directory).
    So WHAT ELSE is there to do?? I am really frustrated with this problem and I have re-started my computer in order to boot the classpath into gear but still no joy!
    I am running Win2k so do I actually have to go into my autoexec.bat file and type the classpath in there aswell(to which I havent done) or can I just go through my computer on my desktop and then to environment variables and set it up in there (to which I have done already and nopthing seems to work)?
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help!! I very frustated girl programmer!!!
    Any help would be very much appreciated!

  • Do not seem to be able to backup iPad via iTunes on to my PC. Message after connecting is "iTunes was unable to load class information from Sync Services, Reconnect or try later"  Have tried that but get the same result. Can anyone assist?

    Do not seem to be able to backup iPad via iTunes on to my PC.
    Message after connecting is "iTunes was unable to load class information from Sync Services, Reconnect or try later" 
    Have tried that but get the same result.
    Remedies I've tried are:
    wait and try again
    reboot
    reload iTunes
    NB hp is a relatively new machine and has previously backed up quite happily.
    Can anyone assist?

    RHoodnkt-
    Try rebooting the iPad.  Hold down both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  It takes a minute or two to restart.
    Also be sure your iPad battery is not completely discharged.

    Sounds like your JBuilder environment is screwed up; see what the classpath and bootclasspath are set to, and correct the error. (This is a question that belongs on a JBuilder website.)

  • Java.exe error - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

    I've just started to take on java, and some examples from my learning source
    show the
    javac.exe fileincluded.java
    to
    java.exe fileincluded
    method. Although I can compile fine, when I go to run I get a java.exe error - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:.
    I thought it was an environment variable problem as I'm running win xp.
    I've gotten the bin directory included, and I've previously had visual studio .net installed
    so the INCLUDE and LIB variables are set to those directories. I've tried to attach the java /lib and /bin directories by ";C:\PROGRAM FILES\JAVA\JDK1.5.0_02\LIB" etc,
    and that didn't work. What can I do to fix this problem?

    I get the I/O exception while reading: D:\Java\HelloApplet (The system cannot find the file specified). I have previously compiled HelloApplet.java into HelloApplet.class using javac.exe
    the two include statements in the sample HelloApplet I'm using are
    import java.applet.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    I also have a ComponentEventTest.java file which I've made into a class with these two
    include statements:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    I can however compile .java files which have no include statements.
    I take it that my classpath is not set correctly. Like I said earlier, I'm using winxp
    and trying to set the classpath variable under system. I have tried under user too. The path names I've tried setting are C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\lib, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\include, and C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\lib;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\include.
    How can I correct this? If it's possible, I would like to set a variable in windows
    versus having to type extra commands at the command prompt everytime I try
    to run a java class with java.exe. Any help would be much appreciated

    Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you.

    Similar issues looks like. Are you using a template other than those in iBooks Author? That's what I did, and that was definitely part of the issue.
    After digging through .ibooks code for hours and still not seeing the problem, I decided to reach out to one of the Apple epub conversion affiliates in iTunes Connect. They said they could repair the file without a problem, started working on it, only to come back a week later and say they couldn't work on .ibooks or .iba files yet.
    So, in complete frustration, I decided to transfer my content page by page from the blank template I downloaded from a vendor online to one of the "textbook" templates in IBA. This was a long process as I had to unlock and clear out the formatting of the template. But, once that was done and content was transferred over, all was good. I submitted/delivered the same content and preview book within the new template and it went right through the first time (all metadata was exactly the same as well).
    Now, the iBookstore approval waiting process begins!
    Good luck!

    - I delete old and new installation of java folders inside: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
    - I delte folder: /System/Library/Java
    - Already download manually the Java from Apple site, reinstall 2 times and reboot... not solved.
    ANy idea?

    Thanks to Brody and Mark Jalbert to help me to find the problem I hope this not ocurred again.
    I give some feedback if this problem ocurred to other person, I see same error from 2009/2010... so is not a current problem, is a MacOS software problem of folders/permissions.
    Best regards!
    ========================================================
    Now I reboot, and all is solved (I already reboot 3 times and check and uncheck box you say).
    Now something change=
    TigreDARK:~ Myuser$ /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print" $HOME/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.java.JavaPreferences.*

    TigreDARK:~ Myuser$
    =====================================================
    IMPORTANT:
    Is not a good idea to add permissions to all folders, and give wrong permissions or more permissions o files.... is really danger, please do a backup first if you want to do a test...
    I think the permissions, and the reboot solve, but I'm not sure what really do this change....
    how i fix the problem:
    1)
    /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle/Contents/Resources/Java
    files i add permissions of my user, and write read:
    deploy.jar
    javaws.jar
    2)
    /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle/Contents/Home/Lib
    I add here too a R+W permission to "system" and to my user r+w
    3)
    I moved the ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.java.JavaPreferences.*.plist file and ran Java Preferences again.
    4) Shutdown, and boot again.
    IF PROBLEM PERSIST:=

  • SQLJ error: "Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sqlj/

    Hi,
    I am new to SQLJ. Now, in my PC (with Win98), I have JDK 1.2 and Oracle 8i (personal edition). I have used Java and Oracle in my PC without any problem. Now, I am going to learn SQLJ in order to create a java program to access Oracle database. What I have done is to set up several classpaths in DOS:
    SET classpath=C:\ora_program\sqlj\lib\translator.zip;
    SET classpath=C:\ora_program\sqlj\lib\runtime.zip;
    SET classpath=C:\ora_program\sqlj\lib\runtime12.zip;
    SET classpath=C:\ora_program\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip;
    The code of my program is:
    import java.sql.Date;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    import oracle.sqlj.runtime.Oracle;
    import java.util.Date;
    public class Hello{
         public static void main(String[] args){
              java.sql.Date current_date;
              try{
                   // connect to the db
                   Oracle.connect(
                        "C:\ora_program\bin",

                   // get the current date from the database
                   #sql{SELECT sysdate INTO :current_date FROM dual};
                   // display message
                   System.out.println("Hello, the current date is: "+ current_date);
              catch(SQLException e){
                   System.err.println("sqlException: "+e);
              finally{
                   try{
                        Oracle.close();
                   catch(SQLException e){
                        System.err.println("sqlException: "+e);
    And then I compile my program in DOS with the typing: sqlj Hello.sqlj
    The program cannot be compiled and the error message is:
    "Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sqlj/tools/Sqlj"
    It indicates that the SQLJ translator class files cannot be found.
    I have set up the classpath in DOS (see above). How does the error come? Please help. Thanks.

    The above only sets the classpath to the last value. You need to use the following.

    Once you have defined your classpath as an environment variable, it shouldn't be necessary to include it (or quote it) within the command line. In other words,
    c:\> java EchoServer
    should have worked. However, I suspect the reason the batch script doesn't work might be because %SIMULATOR_HOME% isn't defined? If Java can't find any of the libraries, then it can't find a class EchoServer that contains a main() function to call, resulting in the error message you've received.

    my macbook is showing a white screen with ? iside a blinking file . any idea ?

    Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
    These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
    In most cases the problems may be caused by:
    Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
    Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
    Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
    The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD:
    Boot From The Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.

If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
