No ClassDefFoundError

[JayaSiji Gopal]

hi,

i have a program in IO with a main method. I am trying to run the program thru the console. however, it gives me java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.

I have configured java home, the bin and the lib folders. also added the working folder to the classpath. i also tried to go into the directory containing the .class file and run the same with the java command. However, i get the same error.

wht am i missing?

public class NoClassDefFoundError
extends LinkageError

Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine or a ClassLoader instance tries to load in the definition of a class (as part of a normal method call or as part of creating a new instance using the new expression) and no definition of the class could be found.

The searched-for class definition existed when the currently executing class was compiled, but the definition can no longer be found.

If you post the error message you receive we might be able to help, but there is definately something wrong in the way you are trying to access a class.

Is the class public?

hi Gopal ,
i think so, your class printHTML is under package test.print. you have to run your class from C:\Jayashree\Examples\printHTML\classes folder and you have to give the following command java test.print.printHTML. now it will work properly.

I think, public Class name in source code is not "printHTML".

hi,

this error generally comes if ur classpath is not set correctly...do the following..

open command prompt and write this command

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%C:\j2sdk1.bla...bla...version\bin;.(semicolon followed by full stop[THIS IS IMP])

try this...if it doesnt help..let me know
Ashish.
