Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Hi,

I am trying to run a program EchoClient.java in a linux machine.It is in the path /usr/src/scripts.I have included mysqlconnector.jar also in that path and i gave the command

java -classpath mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar EchoClient1

to run the program.the following error occurs:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: EchoClient1
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: EchoClient1
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)

Am i wrong in setting path?please assist me to solve this error.

Thanks

By using an explicit "-classpath" switch you're effectively turning off the implicit "." classpath that points to the current directory. If you add that back into it, then it should work:

java -classpath .:mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar EchoClient1

One question, The java source file name is different from the class name ?
'EchoClient.java' and you're running as 'EchoClient1'

OK

1. Go to '/usr/src/scripts'
2. java -cp "path/mysqlconnection/jar/file/directory;.; EchoClient1

I hope there is NO 'package' defined in EchoClient.java

Thank you ulf.Now it works well.

Hi Sagar Rohankar ,

The source and class name are EchoClient1.java.I have posted the wrong name by mistake.

Thank you both for your reply
