Problem in UNIX ClassPath

[Meet Gaurav]

HI

I need to set classpath for 15 jar files. I guess the below idea is bad, for setting one by one.

# path to classes12.zip file
CLASSES12_PATH=/home/lib/classes12.jar
export CLASSES12_PATH
 
# Path to j2ee.jar
J2EE_PATH=/home/lib/j2ee.jar
export J2EE_PATH

Any way to set a classpath for lib folder. So that all the jar files have to be in classpath.Instead of setting one by one.

[Gregg Bolinger]

export CLASS_PATH=/home/lib/

HI Gregg Bolinger

Thanks for the reply.. But this is not working..Any other solution ??

You can use the classpath wildcards since JDK 6.
You may take a look at this

But am using java 1.5 in unix BOX

[Jesper de Jong]

The JVM only looks at the environment variable CLASSPATH (not: CLASSES12_PATH, J2EE_PATH or CLASS_PATH).

Am getting this erroreven after setting the classpath

$ CLASSPATH=/home/oc4j/j2ee/home/lib/
$ echo $CLASSPATH
/home/oc4j/j2ee/home/lib/


MDBBean.java:27: cannot find symbol
symbol : class MessageDrivenContext
location: package javax.ejb
import javax.ejb.MessageDrivenContext;

That error gives what's wrong, isn't it? You don't have JEE jar file (which contains the package javax.ejb) in your CLASSPATH.

No Javax.ejb is in ejb.jar and this ejb.jar is in lib. I checked

[Vijitha Kumara]

According to one of your previous replies you are using JDK 5. Your CLASSPATH contains only the lib directory not the jar (whatever you are using). Do you get the point now? How come JVM finds it without specifying the jar file?
