Compiling and running Running Advice Client
I got most of this from Java ranch and can�t improve on it so I will use it.
(This I am adding for those that wonder just like me)
The Windows alternative for the Unix command on page 57 in HFEJB is:
javac -classpath %CLASSPATH%;AdviceAppClient.jar;. AdviceClient.java
But the above might still not work for you!!
One that might work for you:
javac -classpath %J2EE_PATH%\lib\j2ee.jar;AdviceAppClient.jar;. AdviceClient.java
Another alternative:
https://coderanch.com/t/162202/java-EJB-SCBCD/certification/Trouble-running-Advice-EJB The section below I found in a post by Dewang Lakhani
I would like to repeat the formulae to run AdviceCient :-
INCLUDE ";." AFTER YOUR CLASSPATH i.e
To Compile use :-
"C:\Dewang\j2EEStuff\projects\advice>javac -classpath C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar;C:\Dewang\j2EEStuff\projects\advice\AdviceAppClient.jar;. AdviceClient.java"
INCLUDE ";." AFTER YOUR CLASSPATH i.e
TO Run use :-
"C:\Dewang\j2EEStuff\projects\advice>java -cp C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar;C:\Dewang\j2EEStuff\projects\advice\AdviceAppClient.jar;. AdviceClient"
I know it's not necessary to include j2ee.jar explicitly if you have it in your environment varibale. I have it set in my environment but then too i had to explicitly add it.
