I have windows98 and my tomcat runs fine.
I have installed sdk in in c:/j2sdk1.4.1 and my tomcat in c:/tomcat4.1
My tomcat runs fine.
But problem in running a java file in MSDOS.
I created a folder called testing under c:
c:/testing and try to run a simple java file in it
Lets say test.java
public class test {
public static vod main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("hello");
}
}
when i try to compile using javac test.java in MSDOS
i get error as Bad command or file name

use SET PATH to point to javac.exe in ur jdk folder or JDK of tomcat !
i.e. either u can use
set path=%path%c:/j2sdk1.4.1/bin;
or instead give path of jdk/bin for tomcat directory hierarchy.
(try setting this in environmemt variable to make it permanent).
Hope this helps !

I did it in autoexec.bat but no use.
still the same error??
How do i set it to permanent??

[Maha Annadurai]

At command prompt, type the following commands.
At the end check what 'SET' command displays. Also pl. check if it has PATH set to your jdk's bin dir.
cd \
autoexec.bat
set

[Don Bosco]

Well these are my environment variables
CATALINA_HOME=c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1
CLASS_PATH=c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\common\lib\servlet.jar
JAVA_HOME=c:\j2sdk1.4.1_01
PATH=c:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\bin
is there anything i need to set?

[Brusk Baran]

Don
i guess it'll be(the 2nd environment variable) CLASSPATH insted of CLASS_PATH.
adieu,
c.

Do you guys have the j2ee.jar from the J2EE SDK in your class path? you'll need that for command line compiles with J2EE imports.
