j2ee program not recognized

[Carol Bloch]

I have gone through the first example in HFEJB and got stuck when trying to start J2EE. I get the error "program not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch comand"

I have looked through all the posts on setting up the environemental variables and I think they are all correct. I am running windowsXP.

This is a list of my environamental variables:

J2EE_HOME C:\j2sdkee1.3.1

JAVA_HOME C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06

PATH C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin;C:\Tomcat\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\bin

CLASSPATH C:\tomcat\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;c:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar;%J2EE_HOME\bin

Nothing I have tried seems to work. Is there a basic incompatibility with
J2EE 1.3 and JDK 1.5 or windows XP??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What exactly did you do when you got the error message? Did you type something on the command line? Without knowing the details it is hard to guess what might be the problem.

[Carol Bloch]

On the command line, I type

j2ee

I have checked and there is a j2ee.bat in the j2sdl1.3.1/bin folder.

[Ulf Dittmer]

You need to add that directory to your PATH, or include the full path when you call it, like:

C:\j2sdk1.3.1\bin\j2ee

I went back to version 1.4 of java and can now start the j2ee server.

Hi Carol,

I got the same problem. I have J2SE 5.0 on my machine. How do you go back to 1.4, do we need to reinstall that version.

Thanks,
