maybe you should have gotten in some practice with the commandline...
It's really rather simple.
Of course if you refer to is as "class path" rather than the correct term "classpath" there's little hope.

can any body please post some question or example for that ...

thanks .

Hello rathi,

Here's the official classpath doc from Sun. Its in the SDK API docs.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/classpath.html

Its the most basic intro on the subject. You also need to check this:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/findingclasses.html

Those two links, with PRACTICE should suffice... if your using an IDE, quit it right NOW! and spend time practicing from the command-line. thats really the best tip i can give.

Good luck on your exam...

What I get from this tutorial :

1] suppose you have some classes in c:\myFolder , and you want to take a reference of all the classes in your class then you can do this 2 thing :

for just compilation purpose :

c:/ javac -classpath c:\myFolder My.java

for just execution purpose :

c:/ java -classpath c:\myFolder My

And if you want to set in class path for all time :

c:/ set classpath = c:\myFolder;

then you can compile & execution your class like this :

c:/ javac My.java
c:/ java My

------------------

If you want to take a zip or jar file into class path , then you have to give its name also ( not just the folder name that contained this jar file , as we did in case of class - above one )

c:/ javac -classpath c:\myFolder\my.jar My.java
or
c:/ set classpath = c:\myFolder\my.jar;
c:/ javac My.java

----------------

If you have this Cool class in a package my.app that is in myFolder & want to take reference :

c:/ javac -classpath c:\myFolder my.app.Cool My.java
c:/ set classpath=c:\myFolder my.app.Cool;
c:/ javac My.java

-----------------

please correct me , if something is wrong .
is this sufficient for beta exam , or something else is needed . please put your comment ...

Thanks a lot .
