Need Help with AdviceHome (from Head First EJB)

[Unnsse Khan]

Hello,

I am running the J2EE 1.3 Reference Implementation under WinXP. I have the following directory structure:

F:\Java Projects\J2EE Projects\Advice\

underneath the Advice directory, I have the following 3 subdirectories:

<src>
<dist>
<cls>

I followed everything that the book wanted me to do and now I am stuck on the point where you compile the client app.

The AdviceAppClient.jar & AdviceApp.ear are in the <dist> subdirectory.

All the interpreted bytecode (.class files) are in the <cls> subdirectory.

The AdviceClient.java file is in the <src> directory.

Now, when I tried to compile the AdviceClient.java file like this:


F:\Java Projects\J2EE Projects\Advice\src>javac -classpath %CLASSPATH%;..\dist\AdviceAppClient.jar;..\cls AdviceClient.java
AdviceClient.java:19: cannot access AdviceHome
bad class file: .\AdviceHome.java
file does not contain class AdviceHome
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
AdviceHome home = (AdviceHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(o, AdviceHome.class);
^
1 error

Does anyone understand what's going on?

With thanks,

Hello,
Can you make sure your CLASSPATH variable contain current path or append as CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.; as your AdbiceHome is in ...src/ directory which might miss in your classpath.

Shankar,

I just tried:

F:\Java Projects\J2EE Projects\Advice\src>javac -d ..\cls -classpath
%CLASSPATH%;.;..\dist\AdviceAppClient.jar;.;..\cls AdviceClient.java

AdviceClient.java:19: cannot access AdviceHome
bad class file: .\AdviceHome.java
file does not contain class AdviceHome

Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
AdviceHome home = (AdviceHome)PortableRemoteObject.narr
ow(o, AdviceHome.class);
^
1 error

I am still unable to compile the AdviceClient.java file.
