Re: Need help: Steps in your INSTALL doc failing
Hey - thanks for the quick reply! Ya know, I read that bit but the jar file I have is named log4j-1.2-17.jar, and I thought it comprised everything. When I downloaded the code, that's the only jar file there was. Clearly, I was delusional! I'll go look for the corresponding API and core jar files... Thanks again!

Need help: Steps in your INSTALL doc failing
Hello - I can write, compile, and successfully run a Java program to look at a .jar file and list the classes defined therein, but I can't for the life of me get your "Using log4j" java code shown in 1-2.17's INSTALL doc to work. Perhaps there's some other magic that needs to happen to get this code snippet you wrote to yield output? You can now test your installation by first compiling the following simple program. import org.apache.log4j.Logger; import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator; public class Hello { private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Hello.class); public static void main(String argv[]) { BasicConfigurator.configure(); logger.debug("Hello world."); logger.info("What a beatiful day."); } } - I understand how CLASSPATH works, etc. I can get it to compile but even if I again (with option -cp) specify exactly where the .class file is that it just created from the compile, it still can't find what it needs. Depending on where I've put things and what I tell it, I get one of these failing results when I try to run the executable: (1) java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Logger at Hello.(Hello.java:6) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.log4j.Logger at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:366) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:355) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:354) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:423) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:308) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:356) ... 1 more Exception in thread "main" or (2) Error: Could not find or load main class Hello Please, I am an old UNIX geek but this is really really frustrating me. I have looked literally EVERYWHERE to find out what the problem is but of course I am apparently the first and only person to ever have this problem. Ha! -- Please test what you build.
