monkhouse's sample

[Jaime Perez]

I've have a "netBook" with java 1.6 instaled and I already compiled (one by one) classes from the monkhouse's sample, but I don't know where to start the app execution, so I'm asking for help, because I want to watch the 3 ways (standalone and network) that supostly this example works.

I don't have any other tool to run the app, so I need to run it by command line .

Do you know the steps that I need to run the app standalone/network? (eg. I'm getting exception when apply "java ApplicationRunner")

tnx in advance
Jaime

If you got a copy of the book you would read in Chapter 9 all the details about it.

You would run it as from a Windows prompt terminal window and obviously you need C:\Programs\Java\bin in your path.

java -jar sampleproject.jar alone
java -jar sampleproject.jar server
java -jar sampleproject.jar

This will start the application in standalone mode, server mode or networked client mode respectively.

HTH,


Carlos.

Carlos made a small mistake, the 2nd call should of course be

java -jar sampleproject.jar server

Kind regards,

Ok, I made the jar file, but I think something it's wrong because I tried to run the jar and appears the following message:
"Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from sampleproject.jar"

I opened the jar file and the manifest file doesn't have the line "Main-Class: sampleproject.gui.ApplicationRunner", but "Created-By: 1.6.0_18 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)"

I created the jar exactly like the book mentioned:

jar -cfm sampleproject.jar Manifest.mf -C classes .

I tried replacing the manifest file into the jar file too, but still not working.

Oops! The rush of cut and paste!

Corrected!

Hi Jaime,

Have a look here, especially the part "An Application".

Kind regards,

Jaime you have to run the jar from the commandline.

if you've already got as far as creating the jar in the SCJD directory then open a commandline in that directory and input

javaw -jar sampleproject.jar alone

or

javaw -jar sampleproject.jar server

or

javaw -jar sampleproject.jar

depending on what you want to run
