jaxp

[aude tantot]

i've some trouble with installing jaxp. i've unzipped the sun's zip in c:\jaxp, then copied the .jar files into:\jdk1.3.0_02\jre\lib\ext as written in the install note. But when i try to execute an example i obtain:java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : javax\xml\parsers\ParserConfigurationException , and this class is in jaxp.jar (i've checked)...
HELPPPPPP!!!

Try adding the jar file directly to the CLASSPATH and see if that works ie.,
CLASSPATH = <CLASSPATH>;C:\jdk1.3.0_02\jre\lib\ext\jaxp.jar.

I did what you suggest, now the error is
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError OMEcho
DOMEcho.java is the pgm i'm trying to compile and execute, no error on compiling, th DOMEcho.class is created.
that pgm is provided by sun as un example of DOM, so i suppose the code's right.

[Ajith Kallambella]

Ah, that error is because of your DOMEcho.java program, not the jaxp.jar file.
Make sure the directory DOMECho.java resides in is a part of CLASSPATH. FYI, not only the jar files, but all the .class files must be reachable ( is there a better word? ) through the CLASSPATH. The ClassLoader in JVM searches for the .class files in the current directory and all the directories in the CLASSPATH.
Hope that helps!

that's it thanks.
Can you explain me why when i launched the example from Forte i hadn't that pb, the file mounted wasn't in the classpath

[Tiger Scott]

Forte or other IDEs will add classes to the classpath.
