Selecting a properties file in command line

[G Meyer]

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin\javac" C:\pw\NCClient.java

java -classpath NCClient netconnect.properties

I am trying to use the above command line, in a batch file, to run NCClient with the netconnect.properties as a properties file. It is giving me the noclassdefound error. I've tried it a hundred different ways but it won't work. It compiles but then complains that it can't fine netconnect.properties.

ANy help would be appreciated. Following is the error it is giving me.

You are running properties class that is in the netconnect package. I think this is not what you want.

Run just: java NCClient netconnect.properties

Too difficult a question for "beginning" Moving thread.

Thanks for the Reply, Leandro.

Running 'java NCClient netconnect.properties' gives me this error. It thinks it is looking for a class but what I'm trying to pass it is a properties file.

Here is my main and the Properties function

  private String requestFile;
private String userID;

public NCClient(String s) throws Exception{System.out.println("Properties File Initialization -- Start");
	requestFile = s.trim();
	properties = new Properties();
	try{
		FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(s);
		properties.load(fis);
	}catch(Exception e){
		System.out.println("Error in properties file specified in command parameter");
		throw e;
	}
	

	public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
		
		System.setProperty ("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
		Security.addProvider(new Provider());
            
            	NCClient ncclient = new NCClient("c:\cw\netconnect.properties");


		return;
	}

pay attention...
you didn't remove -classpath!!!

[G Meyer]

If I do remove -classpath, I get this error

Thanks

Okay, then put it back, but this time actually specify the classpath. You didn't have one before so the java command assumed that what came next was the classpath.

[Leandro Coutinho]

Does NCClient is inside some package? (package ...)
Are you running from the directory where has the NCClient.class file?

[G Meyer]

Thanks Paul And Leandro

That was what I was doing wrong. I wasn't setting the classpath. Once I added the c:\cw it worked.

Thanks Much. This is a great site. You wre very helpful and I appreciate it.
