Setting java classpath [SOLVED]

Hi everybody,
I am sure this is not hard, but I have been looking for some time now and just couldn't figure out how to do it. Trying to run simple java applications (I am just learning...) I allways get this error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /opt/java/jre/bin/
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: .opt.java.jre.bin.
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:252)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:320)
So after doing some research I am pretty sure this is because my classpath is not set, but I can't figure out the correct directory. I assumed this would be
/opt/java/bin
So I added these lines to my .basrc
export PATH=/opt/java/bin:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME="/opt/java/"
export CLASSPATH=.:/opt/java/
I think java is installed just fine, cause I can run eclipse without problems..
But it doesn't work... so please help me :)

First, Thx for replying.. so here is what I get using echo
[jens@jense-mobile Kap02]$ echo $PATH
/opt/java/bin:/opt/java/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/share/eclipse:/opt/java/bin:/opt/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/share/netbeans/bin/:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core:/opt/qt/bin:/home/db2inst1/sqllib/bin:/home/db2inst1/sqllib/adm:/home/db2inst1/sqllib/misc:/home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2tss/bin
[jens@jense-mobile Kap02]$
Now for studying I try to run simple java apps from commandline. Using the -cp option I got my programm to work (it's "HelloWorld"). So if I set up a directory
~/javaapps/
How would I set this path so I don't have to use the -cp option every time I invoke an app

Need Help Setting Java Classpath

I have installed JCreator LE and the JDK 1.6.02 and the JRE 1.6.02 as well as the API's into my JDK doc directory.
I can't figure out how to set the classpath to allow me to run java programs and I can't figure out how to get java.exe to run either.
WinXP doesn't come with an autoexec.bat file so that route for setting my classpath is out... I can get to the DOS command prompt just fine but don't know what to type. When I try running any program like java.exe from the JDK a small DOS like box appears for a split second and then disappears.
If someone could help me solve this/these problems I'd be very grateful. Thanks

Thanks for your help. I set my CLASSPATH option
within system/advanced/setvar to: "C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin" Which is precisely where
my jdk is located. Wrong. That directory needs to be in your PATH, not CLASSPATH. PATH tells the operating system where to find .exe files like javac.exe and java.exe.
CLASSPATH tells the JVM where to look for your .class files
I've tinkered around and around and I still can't get
it to work... My confidence in my computer savyness
is beginning to deteriorate... I've been reading two
books on java and believe I'm understanding OO pretty
well into the later chapters at present. I read
through Suns online tutorial as well and just am not
understanding what I'm doing wrong here. Thanks-Read the docs for both javac.exe and java.exe. Both take a -classpath option when you run in a command shell. That's the correct way to specify CLASSPATH.
Do not use an environment variable. That is the wrong way to go about it.
When you graduate to application servers it'll be a different matter, but by then perhaps you'll understand better.

Tomcat Installation and setting Java Classpath

Please help me in setting up Java classpath for Tomcat Server. I am unable to start the Server itself.

try this it worked for me..install Tomcat and Ant in 2 seperate directories, if you are win98 or less edit your autoexec.bat file and set the class paths as follows
set PATH=C:\jdk1.3\bin;%PATH%
set ANT_HOME=C:\Ant
set TOMCAT_HOME=C:\Tomcat
set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3
If you are using windows 2000 or NT you have to goto control panel --> system --> advanced and click environment variables
for name type in say TOMCAT_HOME and for value type in c:\Tomcat
restart your computer.
Then goto tomcat\bin and type startup....in a browser type in http://localhost:8080 and you are in
hope this helps

Issue in setting java classpath using bash

I tried creating a script file for executing my java code in my linux machine.Below is the script which i created.
#!/bin/sh
HOME=`pwd`
JAVA_HOME=$HOME/jre
CLASSES=$HOME/classes
CLASS_PATH=$CLASSES/Testing.jar:$CLASSES/server/Server.jar
"${JAVA_HOME}"/bin/java -cp "$CLASS_PATH" 'com.project.testing.Tester' '10000'It worked perfectly.But if i put this script in a directory containing spaces in its name, it is not working and it is throwing the below exception
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/project/testing/Tester
So i modified the script to escape the spaces in the class path variable.Below is the modified script
#!/bin/sh
HOME=`pwd`
JAVA_HOME=$HOME/jre
CLASSES=$HOME/classes
CLASS_PATH=$CLASSES/Testing.jar:$CLASSES/server/Server.jar
CLASS_PATH=$(echo $CLASS_PATH | sed 's/ /\\ /g')
"${JAVA_HOME}"/bin/java -cp "$CLASS_PATH" 'com.project.testing.Tester' '10000'But still i am getting the same exception.
Please help me to solve this problem.

You think?? Why don't you just find out? The classpath is one of the system properties, so just write a Java program which simply writes all of the system properties to stdout. Then look at the system property which contains the classpath.
Sorry you didn't understand my question.Your answer is irrelevant to my questionThen you should explain your question better, using something less totally useless than "not working".
My question is I can read.
It has nothing to do with bash.There is some issue with java in the way it treats the argument after -cp option.If i can find out why should i post it here?.No. Java isn't treating any arguments. Your shell (bash) is treating the arguments. If you think it's Java, then you should investigate that. Which is why I posted what I did. If you think it's irrelevant then it must not be Java causing the problem. Of course you didn't even try it. Time-waster.
Please simulate this issue and respond to my postYou want me to buy a computer and install bash and try to reproduce your problem? Don't be ridiculous. Do your own work.

It is never advisable to store large data sets in the session. But it will depend on a lot of factors:
1. How costly is the query retrieving the data from the database?
If it's a complex query with lots of joins and stuff, then it will be better to store it in the session as processing the query each time will take a lot of time and will decrease performance. On the other hand if the query is simple then it's advisable not to store it in the session, and fetch it each time.
2. Are there chances for the data to become stale within a session?
In this case storing the data is session will mean holding the stale data till the user session lasts which is not right.
3. How many data sets does the session already holds?
If there are large no. of data sets already present in the session, then it's strictly not advisable to store the data in the session.
4. Does the server employ some kind of caching mechanism?
Using session cache can definitely improve performance.
You will have to figure out, what is the best way analyzing all the factors and which would be best in the situation. As per my knowledge, session is the only place where session specific data can be stored.
Also, another thing, if the data set retrieved is some kind of data to be displayed in reports, then it would be better to use a pagination query, which will retrieve only the specific no. of rows at a time. A navigation provided in the UI will retrieve the next/previous data set to display.
Thanks,

Set system classpath using java program??

Java newbie questions...Setting the classpath in Unix

When you set the classpath, how do you include anything already in the classpath? For instance, if your profile sets your classpath to
"/home/weblogic/:home/weblogic/weblogic.jar, and you want to add MyJar.jar to it, can you enter:
export classpath=~:MyJar.jar
My question really boils down to how do you prefix the existing CLASSPATH environment variable to any new classes or jars you want to add to it. I think it's the tilde, but I'm not sure.

In csh, the CLASSPATH environment variable is modified with the setenv command. The format is:
setenv CLASSPATH path1:path2
In sh, the CLASSPATH environment variable can be modified with these commands:
CLASSPATH = path1:path2:...
export CLASSPATH
====
(From the Sun documentation)
or, in sh,
export CLASSPATH=path1:path2
should work

I have windows and I use it.
The only problem with the free edition is that you can only create 1 launcher and that during the installation you get 1 popup showing that the installer was created with an unregistered version.

Novice Trying to Set The CLASSPATH Variable

I am trying to compile a file (which can be downloaded at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/QandE/FirstClass.java). Despite being able to successfully compile several other files, this particular one will not compile. According to my JAVA Tutorial book, the problem may lie in the CLASSPATH variable, but I am having a great deal of trouble trying to set/understand it. My operating system is WINDOWS 2000. PLEASE HELP!!!

in win 2000, the classpath can be set by the following process.
Right Click My Computer icon and click on properties.
(This can be done by going to the Control Panel and Double Clicking the System icon too).
Once you have the properties window of the system click on the 'Advanced' tab.
There is a button called 'Environment variables'.Click on it.
You will have a part called 'System Variables' there.
Here there is an entry called Classpath. Just add the entry of what you want to add to the classpath, separating each entry with a ';' semicolon as mentioned there and click on the Set button.
That should set the classpath.If that does not take effect immediately, restart the system and it will take effect.
Tell me if it worx.
All the best. Bye!
Cheers,
Win!

I can't set my classpath to compile serlets any help?

I don't understand I'm doing it the way my book says to do it but I can't for the life of me set a freaking class path for my tomcat server so I can compile my serlets here's how it says to do it
C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\Desktop>javac -classpath C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomca
t 5.0\common\lib\servlet-api.jar
Can anyone tell me what the hell I'm doing wrong any help is greatly appreciated thanks

Ok I think I get what your saying but couls someone show me the syntax where to include the source files at and how here's what I did but it couldn't read the file so I'm guessing I'm not putting it in right and also is there a way to permanently set the classpath so I won't have to go through this everytime I want to compile java servlet files?
C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\Desktop>javac -classpath "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomc
at 5.0\common\lib\servlet-api.jar" "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\jhtp6\WEB-INF\

Setting the classpath of classes12.zip for Tomcat

Hi
I am using Apache Tomcat webserver and while trying to run a jsp page which intializes oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver it throws an error
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Please suggest how to set the classpath of classes12.zip in Apache Tomcat
My Code Snippett
<%@ page import="java.util.*,java.sql.*,javax.servlet.*"%>
<body>
     <%
     Connection con ;
     ResultSet rs ;
     Statement stmt ;
     ResultSetMetaData rsmd ;
     try{
     Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
     catch(Exception e)
     out.println(e);//print the exception on the command prompt
%>

The simplest way to do this is to copy classes12.zip to the WEB-INF/lib directory. The JSP should then find this automatically.
As a side note, that is an ancient JDBC driver - you might want to upgrade to something from this millennium.
