Win xp not opening class file.

Question

win xp not opening class file.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C start c:/database/Myclass.class");
or
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C c:/database/Myclass.class");
is this code wrong for xp ?

Answer 1

let me give some more information...
i have c:\database
in this folder i have 2 class...Myclass.class and Dbconnection.class
Myclass simply uses the database connection from Dbconnection.class , nothing else.
you see both of the classes are in the same folder(i.e c:\database) and there is no package
statement inside the code .
in command prompt if i do....
c:\database\java Myclass // this works fine
but i want this class to run at runtime, so i did like above and it is not running!!
what i am getting is a irritating windows file chooser is poping up and saying "class not
found...browse or search in web...etc etc"
Now my question is >
Q1 . how can i run that class at runtime ?
N.B
here is some brief idea abt classes
Dbconnection.java
DriverManager.forClass("...database....");
// only for database connection
Myclass.java
Connection con =db.getConnection();
//use this con and show results for ur database related queries.
}Q2. Can u plz tell those correct syntax how to run class file in this situation ?
i will try all possible solutions tomorrow.
thanx.
