Setting classpath in bat file

Hi,
I'm trying to call my java app from a bat file, normally I put all references to jar files hard coded in the bat file, but now I would like to loop over a lib directory and add all jars in that directory to the classpath:
I tried the FOR loop of Windows batch like this:
FOR /R .\lib %%G IN (*.jar) DO set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%%G
but the classpath only contains the last jar file of the directory, what is wrong with that line? A for loop on unix is no problem.
THX

Hi,
I had teh same need, but neither
FOR /R .\lib %%G IN (*.jar) DO set CLASSPATH=!CLASSPATH!;%%G
works for me nor
FOR /R .\lib %%G IN (*.jar) DO set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%%G
I have set the "ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION" also

Setting date in .bat file

I am writing a .bat file to run my java application. I would like all output to be written to a log file, MyLog<DATE>.txt where <DATE> is the current date.
BAT FILE CONTENTS
set CURRDATE=$d // $d is this OK?
start /b java MyFile >MyLog%CURRDATE%.txt
I apologize that this is not a true java question, but it is one that is annoying me.

in dos you can't set a variable from a commant. you can use an extenstion from a 3rd party. maybe you can found the command xset from the http://www.heise.de/ct in the download area.

Even after classpath setting in jserv.properties file error.

hi kali,
i have used a custom jsp page for export to excell using a jar file poi-3i-200566.jar which i deployed in oracle apps version 11.5.10.2.
the jar is put in $JAVA_TOP and class path entry is set in jserv.properties file as
wrapper.classpath=/d2_u10/....../poi-3i-200566.jar .
After setting the classpath , bounced the apache.
But even after the setting , the same error continues.
I refered the mod_jserv.log file for error details , the error is in import statement of classes present in the poi-3i-200566.jar file like
could not find the symbol HSSRow , HSSpreadsheet , etc. all these are classes in jar file.
please anybody know any extra conf is needed or any idea where i am going wrong.
thanks
prabhakr,ap

Hi,
Please check your jserv.properties file whether the custom class path that you have set is present or not in jserv.properties after restarting the AutoConfig and Apache server.

But when i checked at MyComputer(right click)>properties>advance>environment variables
there, I saw none of the entries from the above, why so ?

Variable not set (error 91)/Error during import (error 102)/execut bat file

We are on BO 11.5.0.0 and using the COM SDK with Visual Basic to run multiple reports (sometimes multiple flavors of the same report) through a bat file.
If we run the reports single-threaded through the bat file, the reports run fine. However, if multiple versions of the bat file start at approximately the same time, we get one of two errors:
91 Object variable or With block variable not set
102 Error during import document -
Here's the part of the code with the problem:
Dim BOapp As busobj.Application
Dim receiveDoc As busobj.Document
Set BOapp = New busobj.Application
BOapp.Interactive = False
BOapp.Logon strUser, strPass, strFromSystem, "Enterprise", False, False
BOapp.Visible = False
Set receiveDoc = BOapp.Documents.OpenFromEnterprise(strFromRep, strFromFolder, boFolder)
receiveDoc.SaveAs (strDocumentPath & strFromRep & ".REP")
Values for the following variables are passed in from the bat file:
strUser
strPass
strFromSystem
strFromRep
strFromFolder
strDocumentPath
If it fails on the OpenFromEnterprise statement, we get the 102 error.
If it fails on the SaveAs statement, we get the 91 error.
Running it through debug hasn't helped, since we are running only one report.
Any thoughts on what could be going wrong?
Thanks in advance

I have tried this running the VB code on my desktop (outside of the bat file) and nothing out of the ordinary occurs. The VB code runs fine with only one occurrence.
I had seen on other posts "ThisDocument" and didn't know if it would be applicable in this situation. I also wasn't sure how it should be used based on the rest of my code. Would "ThisDocument" make a difference?
Thanks again

How to use jar files without setting classpath

Hi,
I have a situvation, I can not set classpath, but i have to use jar files, how can I do that.

URL[] urls = new URL[]{pathToJar, pathToAnotherJar, ...};
URLClassLoader urlc = new URLClassLoader(urls);
Now load classes within the jars loaded by the urlc classloader as needed. This is a limited approach, you can mostly use interfaces to work with classes loaded by the custom loader instance above and your existing classes.

Name the file 'whateveryouwant.cmd'. (The .bat extension is pretty much out of use, in favor of .cmd - I'm not sure of any technical difference, but I certainly know of no practical difference). Then schedule it to run using the Windows scheduler.

Setting classpath to execute jar file.

set classpath=./lib/tpc.jar;./lib/jxl.jar;
      ./lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar;./lib/logSys.jar;
java -jar ./lib/tpc.jar %1java -jar seems not taking classpath environment variables and showing error as

java -cp "./lib/tpc.jar;./lib/jxl.jar;./lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar;./lib/logSys.jar;"
         utility.tpc.generate.Tpc %1Is there a way to make first one to work ? Will adding "Class-Path:jxl.jar,log4j-1.2.15.jar,logSys.jar" in my manifest file make it work ?

That is, when you use "java -jar..." the system or command line classpath is ignored. The only classpath that can be used with "java -jar..." is the Class-Path in the manifest. You need to separate the different paths using space characters, not ; or : and the paths need to be relative to the jar file. (I am not sure if "./" will work and it is not needed to specify relative to the jar file.)

Setting Classpath in linux

Hi !! Can anyone help me in setting classpath in linux to run servlets/? I tried using this command..but didnt work
export CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/usr/share/tomcat5/server/lib/servlets-common.jar"
Thanks
Nive

in ur autoexec.bat file write the following
set PATH=C:\jdk1.5.0_04\bin;%PATH%
set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.5.0_04
set
CLASSPATH=.;C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\common\lib\servlet
-api.jar;C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\common\lib\jsp-api.ja
r;C:\Servlets+JSP;..;..\..;C:\jakarta-struts-1.2.4\lib
\struts.jarThis response is meaningless. Principally because the OP specifically mentioned the use of LINUX. Not Windows.
I've taken the advice of other forum users by avoiding a system level classpath variable. I define the classpath each time I compile and run. Working on Linux I tend to use command line argument files ( http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/javac.html#commandlineargfile ) which eliminates the need to redefine the classpath each time I compile or run my classes and apps. But others may do things differently.
Here is a website you might want to check out which pertains to setting the classpath on Solaris and Linux.

Starting tomcat server after setting classpath for java

Sorry if this is nothing to do with java, it is more to do with starting tomcat server.
Tomcat server has been working totally fine, but when I wanted to compile a java servlet I wrote for it, I needed to run a BAT file called gojava in MS-DOS that had the classpath for java to work properly. I then attempted to run Tomcat, but just got 'bad command'. As long as I don't start up java by setting the classpath, tomcat will work, but as I need java to write servlets and then to test them without restarting my PC each time, how do I get tomcat to work?
Thanks
Hannah

Sounds like your batch file is changing your path, not your classpath. If you're getting "Bad command or filename" when attempting to run Tomcat, it can't find the executable. Check out the .bat file and see what it's doing (maybe even post it here for further clarity). If it's changing your path at all, make sure it includes a %path% to indicate that it simply wants to append items to the path, not overwrite it completely. Sorry if i'm way off base with my suggestions, but it sounds like that's where the problem's going to be, especially if rebooting resolves the problem.

Running Java Program via bat file

Hi
I have a bat file. I have compile the java files and the class files into the same folder.
I am suppose to double click on the bat file and it is suppose to run (in the same manner as IDE)
but it only appear the 1st line of the program. Whatever i type, it refuse to budge.
What should i do to retify the problem?
I have already set the classpath properly

Hi
I just realised that my program can only run halfway on the dos...
This is my code sample
try{
            pw = new PrintWriter("TS.log");
            System.out.println ("hi");
        catch(IOException io){
            io.printStackTrace();
        try {
            StandAloneApplication = true;
            String[] a = new String[1];
            System.out.println ("hi2");
            Settings settings = Settings.getInstance();
            StringTokenizer letterToken = new StringTokenizer(settings.get("letter"),",");
            Vector <String> v = new Vector<String>();
            while(letterToken.hasMoreTokens()){
                v.add(letterToken.nextToken());
            String letter[] = v.toArray(new String[v.size()]);
            System.out.println ("hi3");
            DbConnection d = new DbConnection();
            String stocklist = d.getStockList();
            String mainFile ="";
            GenerateSLS sMain = new GenerateSLS("timeSales.sls");
            String sessionID = d.createiFisSession();
            System.out.println ("hi4");
            for(int i=0;i<letter.length;i++){
                System.out.println ("print");
                mainFile = sMain.start("timeSalesGen"+letter[i]+".sls",d.getStockList(letter[i]+"%.SI"),sessionID);
                a[0] = mainFile;
                staticArguments = a;
                Viewer viewerMain = new TSMainCapture();
                viewerMain.init();
                viewerMain.start();it stops printing after "hi4"
btw, I have tried to run this on the bat file again.
IDE side retest, re-compile and rerun, work well
Pls help
Thanks.
Lots of appreciation

Easier to launch using bat files?

Isn't it really easy to launch Java using a bat file? There seems to be alot of discussion regarding exe files etc. but it seem to me that it works well using a bat file. That way you can use the -cp to set the classpath too if needed.
Would it be possible to write code that checks the JVM and prompts the user to download the version required? Or possible to write a bat to launch a Java file, or even an applet to do the same thing.
I need to distribute an application at work, but the install can't be any harder than a couple of clicks!
Thanks,

On the subject of jar files; I am having trouble
running my app through a jar file because are probs
with the manifest file. I know that I have to edit my

howover , I did edit this file ( checked via textpad)
and it had the two entries - one the default spiel
about version and
2) the line Main-Class: my methodyou have to enter the class name (without fileextension), not a method name.
