I tried to instantiate the java object inside a PeopleSoft application.
The error is a message box below.

Java Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: finding class
PhoneticEye

I save the .class files in C:/Pt8.44/class/ which I have added this in
the CLASSPATH.

The java file that I compilied is below

public class PhoneticEye {

   static {
       System.loadLibrary( "PhoneticEye_jni" );
   };

Java Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: finding class

this error is the wrong filename error because when calling a class it
searches for files with that name before actually looking in the file

Hi Oliver
The name is all the same. In fact I have downloaded these files from
PhoneticEye website (the supplier that provides the fuzzy search
facility). I try to use this on PeopleSoft application.
The class called PhoneticEye and all relevant files too.
So with your theory, tho the fields are private, this should work then
but I dont know why it didnt work.

Now I try to compile the java file with command line. It gives me the
error Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
PhoneticEye/Java

If I use javac command line it didnt give me an error message and a
class file is created. Whats the difference between java and javac?
Thanks a lot
