Setting CLASSPATH 1

[jeanpierre]

I was working on a Java Mail exercise found at

http://www6.software.ibm.com/developerworks/education/j-javamail/j-javamail-8-4.html

Part of the tutorial involved downloading JavaMail API from Sun. Next I have to set the CLASSPATH to the mail.jar file in the download.

How do I set the CLASSPATH?

Is simply by copying mail jar to \jdk1.3\jre\lib\ext?

Thanks,

JP

Hi,
There are two ways of doing this.
1) In the command prompt give the command,
SET CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\zipfiles\mail.jar
or
2) While executing your application, you can run it as
java -cp .;c:\zipfiles\mail.jar;..... MailApp

In the ....., fill in all the required jar files.
(Here, I've assumed that your mail.jar is located in the c:\zipfiles directory and the name of your mail application to be MailApp)

Regards,
Rajarajan

I would like to set the classpath for J2EE in Windows XP. Do I :

-Go to Environmental Variables in the Systems Folder
- and type in "set J2EE_HOME = c:\j2ee1.3.1" in the "path" entry

Have I done this correctly? It still asks me to set path for J2EE when
I attempt to run "Cloudscape".

I am using Tomcat.

Thanks.

I have not used Tomcat much, I am using WebLogic and in Weblogic to activate your classpath, all you have to do is put jour jar file in the lib directory of your application b4 deploying your web application into war file.Web Logic recognizes your classpath.I don't know how Tomcat does it but it may work.
