Problems getting examples running on RI

[Pascal Lafond]

One month ago on my old desktop I got everything running without a hitch using a version of SDK1.4 and J2EE 1.3.1 on XP. I followed the books instructions to the letter and everything worked.

Now on my brand new machine things are not going very well.
Setup is
WinXP, j2sdkee1.3.1 and jdk1.3.1_17 (as posted on https://coderanch.com/t/160071/java-EJB-SCBCD/certification/Sun-RI-NoClassDefFoundError by Jonny Andersson)
I also tried using j2sdk1.4.2_04 but received the exact same result.

My environment variables are as follows
J2EE_HOME=C:\j2sdkee1.3.1
JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3.1_17
CLASSPATH=%J2EE_HOME%\lib\j2ee.jar
PATH=<..long path stuff..>;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%J2EE_HOME%\bin


Everything works up to page 58 where we run the Advice client and I get the following error.

C:\work\Cert\advice>java -classpath %CLASSPATH%;.\AdviceAppClient.jar;. AdviceClient

I also tried to add the following code in my AdviceClient as sugested by Roger Cavallo in https://coderanch.com/t/160436/java-EJB-SCBCD/certification/Almost-have-AdviceClient-run-but.

It compiled but I got 23 a different error when run.

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


Help would be appreciated. I guess I won't try any of the deployment code for now and just keep reading.

hi there,
try this may be it might help. cause it works for me with windows XP

CLASSPATH C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar;D:\Certification\projects\advice

D:\Certification\projects\advice This is the folder where you will have your AdviceAppClient.jar file. see do not put the jar file name ok just the path to the directory. ok

J2EE_HOME C:\j2sdkee1.3.1

JAVA_HOME C:\jdk1.3.1_16

PATH C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\bin;C:\jdk1.3.1_16\bin;

ok now compile
javac -classpath %CLASSPATH%; AdviceAppClient.jar AdviceClient.java

and run the program
java -cp %CLASSPATH%; AdviceAppClient.jar AdviceClient

bingo....
it will run.
cheers
