Red Hat CCVS Java API

[Xinyi Zhang]

I'm programming with CCVS Java API. Ccvs() constructor can not be instantiated properly, no exception is thrown. It looks like the first static block in Ccvs class, "ccvsjni", can not be loaded. What is wrong?
In LD_LIBRARY_DIR path, which file should be there? libccvsjni.so or ccvsjni.so?
Thanks

Found the following

Before you can load the CCVS class, you must add the pathname of the ccvs.jar file to your CLASSPATH environment variable. If you used the default installation location, that would be
/usr/local/ccvs/class/ccvs.jar
You must also add the directory containing the libccvsjni.so file to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. The default installation location is
/usr/local/ccvs/class
Note that CLASSPATH must contain a file, whereas LD_LIBRARY_PATH must contain a directory.

Hope it helps.

Thanks, Jane.
Yes, CLASSPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CCVS_CONFIG_DIR have been set. And I have checked the files in Linux. Everything is done.
I am not familiar with JNI. I don't know if the block in Ccvs class
Static {
System.LoadLibrary("ccvsjni")
}
loads ccvsjni.so? And, if the class can not load native module, is there an exception be thrown? In my circumstoms, no exception be caught.

Hi Xinyi,
I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with JINI either Have you tried asking in the Distributed Services forum? Maybe someone there can help.
