try typing this:
javac -classpath "{$CLASSPATH};AdviceAppClient.jar" AdviceClient.java
i think the main problem with your compilation is that you use a : instead ;
even though the book uses the : symbol, i have never seen it before as a path separator.
good luck

Dear Galder Zamarre�o
thanks a lot I have changed the command but I am still unable to compile and the only error I am left with is

AdviceClient.java:5: package javax.ejb does not exist
import javax.ejb.*;
Any ideas?
I can compile if I copy j2ee.jar in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext but then my server fails to start.
thanks for your help.
Regards

try putting j2ee.jar in CLASSPATH as u have done for AdviceAppClient.jar.
else (in win2k) add j2ee.jar path to envornment variable CLASSPATH.
hope that helps.

j2ee.jar is already in classpath. Please see my very first message.

I'd just forget the classpath and make a batch file that had everything you need, and nothing you didn't need. In other words, don't try and pull-in the OS environment variable for classpath, since that may be part of the problem.

Can anybody give me sample batch files BOTH for COMPILE and RUNNING that I would know what is required to run and compile a bean (or this example bean).
This is driving me crazy.
