compiling the EJB interfaces

[prasanna kumar]

Hello people,

I'm a beginner to EJB Technology.
i tried compiling the home,component,bean.java files but the compiler says that package javax.ejb doesn't exist...
the error is on the line javax.ejb.*;
I would really appreciate if anyone can give any suggestions.
Since This is the first step i'm not able to proceed further.

Thank you
Arun

Hello Arun,
j2ee.jar is not in your classpath pls. downloaad and set in your classpath which will solve this problem.

I downloaded the j2ee RI server
and I set the environment varaiables as

J2EE_HOME - c:\j2sdkee1.3.1
JAVA_HOME - c:\j2sdk1.4.2_04
PATH - c:\j2sdkee1.3.1\bin;c:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\bin
do i need to set up the classpath to j2ee.jar? if so
do I find the j2ee.jar file and how do i set up the classpath

I would be grateful if anyone can clear this.

thanks
Arun

Yes find the jar file and add it to you classpath. The means to add depends on the OS.

For Windoze:

Right Click on My computer icon, and add it to the Environment Variable list. You could also do the following on your command line.

CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;<path_to_j2ee.jar>

The above setting is however temporary and will be lost when you reboot.

For UNIX:

Set the following in your .profile file. CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH;<path_toj2ee.jar>
or
do the following on your command line
set CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:<path_to_j2ee.jar>
export CLASSPATH

Be aware that the classpath delimiter for Windows is a semi-colon and the delimiter for Unix is a colon
