hello there,
I have downloaded j2sdkee1.3 beta version from sun's site and installed it on windows 98 --> in autoexec.bat file i set
java_home=c:\jdk1.3 , j2ee_home=c:\j2sdkee1.3 and also set the path and classpath for j2sdkee1.3 , but in command prompt when I type "j2ee -verbose" it displays "Bad command or file name" , and also for "cloudscape -start" it displays same , do I have to include environment variable in other files as well , does this beta version work with windows 98 ,
thanks

Hi,
This is simple and has nothing to do with J2EE or cloudscape, you only need to put the bin directory of J2EE in your path so it is accessable from anywhere, or you have to be inside the directory when you issue any of the two commands, which are in fact two batch files.
It is easier if you just added " C:\j2sdkee1.3\bin " to your path in your autoexec file.
Hope that helped....

I have already set the path and included "c:\j2sdkee1.3\bin" in the path , also I tried to run "j2ee -verbose" from "c:\j2sdkee1.3\bin" from command prompt , but still it is giving "Bad command or filename" error , even if I enter "j2ee.bat" there it is giving same error , event j2ee.bat is there , what is could be the problem ,has anyone been to this??
thanks

Hi..
Pretty strange, however, the only thing I can think of is that your java.exe itself is not in the windows path, if this is NOT the problem, you might wanna trace the batch file (use echos) to see where you get the bad command thing... this is a windows output so it should be something around this not something with java apps....

Steve,
With some modifications, J2EE1.3 will run under windows98/95. What SUN is claiming is that Windows98/95 is not a supported OS platform for J2EE1.3, meaning - if you choose these platforms, you are on your own as far as problems/bugs are concerned.
Ray,
I posted a response for the bad command or file name situation, "Here's why bad command appears...(WIN98)".
I hope this helps.

I have added a post showing my .bat files in "Here's why bad command appears...(WIN98)". I recommend for you to try it out on your machine and see if it works. I cannot help much if I don't see your settings and the echoed DOS command line.

I am facing exactly the same problem running J2EE on Win98 ...
solved the following few problem after reading Noel's post :
1) Out of environment space is because the memory limit for the DOS window is less and cannot hold so many environment variables. This should be changed to another higher value (i made it 8192). refer http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q230/2/05.ASP
2) The other problem was because Win98 does not support the "=" while setting the environment variables. Thus it gives a syntax error when the setenv.bat file is run. This file is called by the j2ee.bat and the cloudscape.bat files. So unless this problem is solved - it gives either a syntax error or a Bad command as the proper variables are not set. refer to this comprehensive post from Noel http://www.javaranch.com/ubb/Forum11/HTML/000956.html
Now my problem ... the above method works to the extent that the bad command error is gone ... but unfortunately it gives an exception ... its an exception from Java ...
Problem 1
---------
How do i find wht the exception is ... coz the window scrolls ... any clues as to how to get the information which has scrolled up...
Problem 2
---------
Probably the exception is because i removed the %Listen_options% variable as suggested by Noel. Any idea what this problem is about ...
Thanks a lot in advance ...
in a rush to find out everything about this topic ...
