Almost have AdviceClient run, but.... help!

[Richard Vagner]

Spent whole day to get this far. But for the last step to run AdviceClient, I got the following error:

===============================================
F:\Certification\SCBCD\projects\advice>java -cp %CLASSPATH%;AdviceAppClient.jar

Hi Richard,
that %classpath% stuff in java command doesnt work in windows.
run this command
java -cp XXXX;f:\yourdir\AdviceAppClient.jar HelloClient

* replace XXXX by typing your classpath there.
you can see classpath by echo %classpath%

that will work.

Follow above steps and it should work.
Amol.

[Richard Vagner]

Thanks, amol,

I do think %CLASSPATH% works with Windows because I used it to compile AdviceClient.java in the first place. I do not know why it complains that
"javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(Unknown Source)" because I am pretty sure that I entered "Advisor" as JNDI name why it can't find it???

Anyway, when you say "replace XXXX by typing your classpath", do you mean j2ee.jar or complete classpath? Can you give me your example?

Thanks

[Richard Vagner]

Just tried amol's suggestion and got exactly the same error. I think it is JNDI problem but I do not know how to fix it. Anyone, please shed lignt on this.

[Lahiru Abeydeera]

the error (As I guess)is you have to specify your servers properties (such as INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY etc.. etc.. ) . But the sad story is I cant remember how to do it. If you can wait till monday i may be able to help you.

I had the same problem and, it worked after adding those lines it worked. If you have set properties and still it doesnt's work add the "appserver-rt.jar" file to your class path and run


GOOD LUCK
I'm wondering why kathey And Bert made such a big mistake in such a very goooood book.

Lahiru,

Thanks for your help.
How do you define the server properties?

[Roger Cavallo]

Use this in the client code

Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "iiop://localhost:3700");
Context context = new InitialContext(env);
Object o = context.lookup ("AdviceBean");

And u may have to download jndi.jar and have it in your CLASSPATH or lib/ext directory

Hi friends,

this is my existing classpath
d:\j2sdkee1.3\lib\j2ee.jar;d:\ejbpro;d:\j2sdk1.3\jre\lib\rt.jar;

Now , my advice app stuff is here
d:\ejbpro\advice

[amol deshpande]

Hi friends,

this is my existing classpath
d:\j2sdkee1.3\lib\j2ee.jar;d:\ejbpro;d:\j2sdk1.3\jre\lib\rt.jar;

Now , my advice app stuff is here
d:\ejbpro\advice ...here i have home,component and bean.

now our client goes here
d:\ejbpro

to compile client , follow this
d:\ejbpro\javac -classpath d:\j2sdkee1.3\lib\j2ee.jar;d:\j2sdk1.3\jre\lib\rt.jar;d:\ejbpro;d:\ejbpro\AdviceAppClient.jar AdviceClient.java

Note: no need for that rt.jar there, im using just for consistancy.

now your app is deployed, client is compiled and your just ready to java on it.

run by this
java -cp d:\ejbpro;d:\j2sdkee1.3\lib\j2ee.jar;d:\j2sdk1.3\jre\lib\rt.jar;d:\ejbpro\AdviceAppClient.jar AdviceClient


You are getting InitialContext exception because java needs one to use jndi..its jndi stuff error...to avoid it , please make sure you use j2ee.jar in your classpath while running client.

I have w2k professional , j2ee v1.3, jdk 1.3 and this %classpath% stuff doesnt work in my pc.
I hope this stuff solves probs....get to me if you get any more or same errors.
Amol.

I was struggling with this problem all day yesterday. Today I fixed it.
I found the following link that helped me:

Hi Richard,

Take out the CLASSPATH from your environment. It can screw things up too much; instead, specify the classpath directly from the command line. Make sure you set up your Java environment variables, though:

JAVA_HOME = x:\java1.4 (whatever yours is)
J2EE_HOME = x:\j2ee1.3 (whatever yours is)
PATH=(lots of other stuff);%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%J2EE_HOME%\bin

Secondly, ensure that %J2EE_HOME%/lib/j2ee.jar is on your classpath, as your client has dependencies that are in it.

F:\Certification\SCBCD\projects\advice>java -cp %J2EE_HOME%/lib/j2ee.jar%;AdviceAppClient.jar
AdviceClient

It should run just fine.

Cheers,
Jason

[Sun Raj]

Add . to your classpath too.
