Hi All

I created a Swing application which uses ojdbc14.jar for connecting to Oracle 9i database.

I can successfully run the application from command line using javac and also from IDE(MyEclipse).

However I am facing issue when I create executable JAR file for my application. I am not able to connect to Database from JAR even after including ojdbc14.jar in CLASSPATH.

Can someone provide resolution for this issue.

Thank you,
Chaitanya

How you run the Jar file, by clicking the jar file or using java -jar ... ?

What is the actual error message did you get when running your application? Beside configuring a JDBC driver on the classpath have you tried to put a Class-Path entries in your Jar's manifest file?

What are ways I can mention Class-Path

I think( because I havent yet tried)

Class-Path: C:\oracle\ora92\ojdbc14.jar ( I mean absolute path. Thsi may creat issue if I ship my JAR to another machine where the path of ojdbc14.jar is different.)

What if I have to put ojdbc14.jar in my package structure.Can i give the path starting from com.domainName.projectName.packageName. something liek this?

You can put the JDBC jar file in the same location with your application jar and in the manifest file it will be Class-Path: ojdcb14.jar.

Thank you Wayan.

I will try this and I think it will work.

I missed out Class-Path in my manifest.

Thank you once again.

Regards
Chaitanya

By specifying Class-Path in manifest.txt, I can make my executable JAR file work. But I have some issues with this way of making it work.

1. I have to keep ojdbc14.jar file in the same directory as that of my JAR file.

2.My JAR file size is increasing enormously as it also includes classes from ojdbc14.jar

I dont want above two things to happen and I also want to make use of CLASSPATH environment variable. i.e. I want to include ojdbc14.jar in my CLASSPATH and I need to mention that somehow( I dont know how!) in my manifest.txt. Is there any way of doing this?

I tried giving Class-Path: C:\oracle\ora92\ojdbc14.jar ( I mean, absolute path of ojdbc14.jar) in manifest.txt But it is not working this way. I am getting JVM Launch Error stating that "main class not found".

Please let me know how to achieve what I want.

Thank you,
Chaitanya
