Elementary Batch file question

[steve dowdall]

Hi,
Why when I run my batch file do I get this error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: DocumentClient
I type it in DOS from the directory where it is and it still does not work. Yes, there is a main method and I can run it from within Forte just fine.
the batch file looks like this:
java DocumentClient

thanks,
Steve

if i got your question right..
you could add the -classpath parameter to the bat file
ex java -classpath c:\whatever yourclassfile
Hope it helps

What if my class file called DocumentClient is in a package like this:
package com.company.document
how do I set the classpath and call it from a batch file?

java -classpath the_path_to_the_package com.company.document

hope this helps
