>Number: 4336 >Category: config >Synopsis: Does not look for .class files and .jar files in right place >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: apache >State: open >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Thu Apr 29 16:30:02 PDT 1999 >Last-Modified: >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.3.4 >Environment: WinNT 4.0 Apache binary release 1.3.4 (Win32) idltojava JDK 1.2 >Description: In a directory \apache\htdocs\test:
Hello.html (contains an <APPLET> tag for HelloApplet HelloApplet.java HelloServer.java HelloServant.java HelloService.idl HelloService\*.java (output from running idltojava on HelloService.idl) The java code imports org.omg.CORBA.*, which appletviewer and java find in my c:\java\lib directory (indicated by CLASSPATH environment variable). When apache tries to load the HelloApplet, it looks for imported classes in the applet's directory and subdirectories, and does not find subdirectories like test\org\omg\CORBA, etc. Hence the applet fails to load due to a ClassDefNotFound exception. The log file contains: Apache: [Thu Apr 29 13:12:35 1999] [error] [client <IP>] File does not exist: c:/apache/htdocs/test/org/omg/CORBA/portable/IDLEntity.class Apache: [Thu Apr 29 13:12:35 1999] [error] [client <IP>] Filename is not valid: c:/apache/htdocs/test/com This is not discussed in the FAQ. This is not a Servlet issue. >How-To-Repeat: Please email me, and I would happily send you a zipped application. It's a simple client/server "Hello World" in Java using CORBA. There is a file in the archive which contains the exceptions, and the apache log file will have more info. Or, follow the Java Tutorial for IDL at www.javasoft.com and try to get it working as an applet loaded by a browser (e.g. Netscape) >Fix: Apache should search for class and jar files in the directory/directories incicated by the CLASSPATH variable which it could read from the environment or have it specified in the httpd.conf file. If there is a known, easy way to fix this (copying jar files around?), please post in the comp.lang.java.* newsgroups, as there are messages from several people who have stumbled over this. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
