FBN: jar file to submit - Need help

[raphael Bereh]

Hi all,
As the different packages in the FBN assignment uses "import suncertify.mypackage", how are we suppose to organize the jar files to submit ?
I mean, if my package suncertify.server, import the suncertify.db, and the package suncertify.client also import the db package, how do I create client.jar and server.jar ?
Do I have to include suncertify.db in both jar files ?
Thanks for your help.

I had,
fbnServer.jar - Server only files
fbnClient.jar - Client only files
fbnCommon.jar - Used by client and server
fbnServerForClient.jar - _Stub classes and remote interfaces.

Well Sai Prasad
I am trying to that but I get the following error about the "imported" packages : ClassNoDefFounError : ...
when I try to run the jar file using java -jar myjar_file.jar (where an entry point has been defined)
Can you help ?
Thanks

[Sai Prasad]

I guess the jar file doesn't contain one of the referenced classes.

[raphael Bereh]

No It does not,
And my question is : Do I have to add all the imported packages in each of these jar or is a way around it ?
Regards,

[Sai Prasad]

Imported packages must be present in the CLASSPATH. There is no way around it.

Three ways to fix your problem:
1) Add the extra jars to the classpath on the command line
2) Put the extra jars on your classpath using the environment variable
3) *RECOMMENDED* Put an entry in the manifest file of the main jars that references the extra jars

Thanks Matthew Comer and Sai Prasad ,
I have tried the following on command line :
Set CLASSPATH=My_extra_jar_file.jar
java -jar my_server.jar or
java -classpath My_extra_jar_file.jar -jar my_server.jar
but none of these worked. Still get ClassNoDefFoundError.
How do you add the referrence to the extra jar in the manifest ?
Thanks.
