Unable to access jarfile

Question

Hi,
I've installed Saxon and JRE on winnt:
java -version
java -versionjava version "1.4.2_08"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_08-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_08-b03, mixed mode)
Exit code: 0and have set the system's environment variable classpath to:
CLASSPATH C:\Programme\Saxon\saxon8.jar
Now, if I start the application without the full path, I get
java -jar saxon8.jar
java -jar saxon8.jarUnable to access jarfile saxon8.jar
Exit code: 1But with the fully qualified jar file, it works fine, e.g.:
java -jar C:\Programme\Saxon\saxon8.jar
java -jar C:\Programme\Saxon\saxon8.jarNo source file name
Saxon 8.4 from Saxonica
... some more output ...
Exit code: 2What did I miss?
Best regards, Manfred Staudinger, Vienna

Answer 1

But it still neccessary to specify the jarfile in the classpath and why?
"When running Saxon, the principal JAR file should be on the class path. The class path is normally represented by an environment variable named CLASSPATH: see your Java documentation for details. Note that the JAR file itself (not the directory that contains it) should be named on the class path."
