I think javac is not finding your AdviceAppClient.jar - try putting in the full path to it: d:\projects\advice\AdviceAppClient.jar
If that doesn't work, copy the relevant portions of the classpath variable (.;c:\jdk1.3.1_09\jre\lib\rt.jar;C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar) adding the jar as a full path and retry the compile without using %classpath% (For me it didn't like my classpath varible because I had database drivers that had directory names containing spaces.)

Hi Lu
I think the jar file is set right otherwise he wud have got a NamingNotFound exception. I guess its a problem with the deployment. Might be that he did not specify the Home interface correctly while deployment. Jai try that. Try redeploying and make sure u specify the home and component interfaces correctly.
Also as a general case make sure that ur paths are set correctly. use this link below

I added D:\projects\advice to the CLASSPATH and now I can compile it after seeing a solution on this forum today.
Thanks,
Jai
