Subject: Re: CLASSPATH?
Hi William,
The packages like java.io or java.lang etc. are
default java packages and are readily available for
java compiler. Thats why u need not include jars for
them. The packages like servler or ejb for instance
are java extensions and come in the form of jar
files. The jar file itself should be the part of
classpath. The contents of jar file are treated as
package. If there are more than one jars in the folder
and if we just set classpath to folder name without
specifying jar file, there is no way for the compiler
to know which jar file has to be used.
Hope this helps...
Vikram
