I have probrably read every single post regarding this issue. I've followed every single suggestion but it still doesnt work for me. Can someone please help me figure out why I keep getting the error message:
Exception in
thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MakingTheConnection
When I run javac MakingTheConnection.java it compiles it without a problem. As soon as I type
java MakingTheConnection then the exception error pops up. Here is the code:
import java.sql.*;
public class MakingTheConnection {
public static void main(
String[] args) {
try {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Connection databaseConnection =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc
racle:thin:@maxcorp1:1524:maxdb", "SYS", "password");
System.out.println("Connection established successfully!");
databaseConnection.close();
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
System.err.println(cnfe);
}
catch (SQLException sqle) {
System.err.println(sqle);
}
}
}
I'm running it on a Windows XP machine. I configured the classpath and path properly but now i'm all out of ideas. PLEASE HELP OUT A GREENHORN........
Thanks!
