Java Forum / First Aid / April 2004Setting classpath
I am getting an error when I try to set my classpath to utilize the javamail components. I am using set classpath=/jaf-1.0.2/activation.jar;/javamail-1.3.1/mail.jar This gives me two errors bash:/jaf-1.0.2/activation.jar Permission Denied bash:/javamail-1.3.1/mail.jar Permission Denied I know that I have permission to the files because I am the root user and I finally got pissed and chmod 777 both files. I know I don't need execute permissions but I am sick of this crap. Java should be able to set its own classpath to these utilities. Maybe one day...... Any help will be greatly appriciated.

You need to put this in quotes, in order to escape the ;. Try export CLASSPATH="/jaf-1.0.2/activation.jar;/javamail-1.3.1/mail.jar" instead.

So that fixes the errors on my setting of the classpath, but now I get an error that the javax.mail libraries don't exist directly after I have added them to the classpath without any errors. I have uninstalled all versions of java and reinstalled just the newest J2EE 1.4 download bundle. Everything works correctly on Windows, but not in Linux. I have set all the path variable to point to the new java install but no matter what I try I get an error. >> You need to put this in quotes, in order to escape the ;. >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > in Linux. I have set all the path variable to point to the new java > install but no matter what I try I get an error. You'll need to give more info. How are you trying to run this program? Are you sure your classpath is correct? Type echo $CLASSPATH in the shell and look at it carefully. What is the exact error? SignatureKind regards, Christophe Vanfleteren > >> You need to put this in quotes, in order to escape the ;. > >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > What is the exact error? When I echo the classpath every jar file I included is there. It also points to the directory in which my code is. echo $CLASSPATH .;./mail.jar;./activation.jar;./j2ee.jar The error is package javax.mail does not exist import javax.mail; package javax.mail.internet does not exist import javax.mail.internet; I have the exact same thing set up and working in windows but for some reason I am missing something in linux. >.;./mail.jar;./activation.jar;./j2ee.jar just put those jars in the ext directory. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/classpath.html putting them on the classpath is much harder. If you must, use an absolute pathname. -- Canadian Mind Products, Roedy Green.

So it is always something really easy...... http://oldlook.experts-exchange.com:8080/Programming/Programming_Languages/Java/ Q_20807032.html This is where I found a quick and easy solution that removed any classpath problems. Thanks for all your help and ideas >:PullnOutHair wrote: >: [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >:Try export CLASSPATH="/jaf-1.0.2/activation.jar;/javamail-1.3.1/mail.jar" >:instead. Sorry, that's incorrect. The dot does NOT require any escaping. Since this is clearly some kind of Unix environment, the semicolon is not used for separating jar file entries -- use the colon instead. Also, make sure that whatever shell is being used accepts the "export CLASSPATH" syntax. Some sh derivatives do, but all will allow you to use "CLASSPATH=value" followed by "export CLASSPATH". If using csh or derivative, then you should see a doctor quickly. :-) And use "setenv" instead. = Steve = SignatureSteve W.

Just put a copy in Java's ext directories. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/classpath.html That is much easier than maintaining a giant classpath. -- Canadian Mind Products, Roedy Green.
