I had trouble in a windows platform (Windows XP home) using directory names that don't follow the old 8 letter (or less) prefix and 3 letter extention in my ms-dos/command.com CLASSPATH variable. Using "dir /x" will show the old dos-style directory or file name. I found that using those names worked in my classpath so I could run Tomcat (or plain old Java programs) from the command line. So, instead of using c:\jdk1.4.2, the "dir/x" might show it as "C:\JDK14~1.1" which works for me in the classpath while C:\jdk1.4.2 won't work so it won't find stock libraries like java.io.* or anything else you'd expect.

I will correct the classpath surely.

Did you try using "dir /x" to get the short (8.3) directory names and fixing your classpath from this CLASSPATH=.;C:\jsdk1.4.2/lib/tools.jar;.\classes;.\lib;%CLASSPATH%;c:\Tomcat \common\lib\servlet.jar; to something a bit more normal?

The probelm occured suddenly one day i was deleting folders from my macheine to free my disk space and in this process i deleted some of the folders of c:\ documents and settings (windows 2000 professional) however the things were working very fine before that suddenly this problem started occuring i could not get what happened because i was running and compiling everthing right before this and later it stoped working , then i copied some of the folder in my" c:\documents and settings" form some other persons machine and it started working .. so i did not understand what exactly was the cure of my problem : Note i did not deleted folder named with my login. i was compiling very simple program import java.io.* public class test{ public static void main(arg [] String ){ System.out .println("My Apologies To all"); } } Birendar Singh Waldiya Tata Consultancy Services Mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.tcs.com "David Friedman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 21-04-04 08:30 AM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc Subject RE: basic problem in java Dhaliwal, Birendar never seemed to post anthing after our answers and I was curious if the problem was solved.
