Class Not Found

[Michael Scott]

I have a program with two classes (CRAccess and CRWelcome). These classes are in two separate packages. As shown below, CRWelcome has a method called getCRAccess().

public class CRAccess {
}
public class CRWelcome {

private COM.ibm.mdtom.crescomm.CRAccess
getCRAccess() { }
}

When this method is called, the following error occurs:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: CRAccess
However, the class CRAccess does exist in the package COM.ibm.mdtom.crescomm. I'm interested in what might be causing this error.
Thanks very much.

Have you include the com.ibm.mdtom.crescomm into the CLASSPATH variable ?

did u do a proper import com.ibm.....?

[Ryan Wilson]

Robbie if he is using the fully qualified path, would he have to do the import?
After all imports are just a shortcut for using the full path.

[jioy uilo]

think you still need to import, like :
package a.b.c;
class k {}

another file
import a.b.c.k;

[Ryan Wilson]

What I was trying to say is that you can do it 2 ways.

 
  package com.ibm.mytools;
  public class A {
public void a_method() {
System.out.println("I'm in A");
}
  }
 

He can do this

 package com.ibm.my_other_tools;
 public class B {
public static void main(String[] args) {
com.ibm.mytools.A a = new   om.ibm.mytools.A();
a.a_method();
}
  }

Or he could do it this way

 package com.ibm.my_other_tools;
 import com.ibm.mytools.*;
 public class B2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
A a = new A();
a.a_method();
}
 }
 

It looks like Michael is using the fully qualified path so he should not have to use an import statement.

So what is cause of this problem?
