Simple dbt on batch file

**faisalcmpm** · September 30th, 2007, 03:22 AM

Hi
I created a batch file

runner.bat
*******************************************
set HOME = D:\Faisal\VSS\MTCs
set JAVA_HOME = D:\Applns\JDK1.5.11
%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java -classpath %HOME%\classes %HOME%\lib\laf.jar
com.faisal.mc.ShowScreen

*******************************************

if run this bacth file getting an error " cant find the path specified"

the console looks like

*************************************************
set HOME = D:\Faisal\VSS\MTCs
set JAVA_HOME = D:\Applns\JDK1.5.11
/bin/java -classpath \classes \lib\laf.jar
com.faisal.mc.ShowScreen
**************************************************

So what i conluded is that the both variables not get assigned values why
In my office machine this is working fine
can anybody comment on this

So this works on one machine but not the other?

Where are the java runtime files... in d:\appins\jdk1.5.11, or are they somewhere else because this is installed on a different machine?

Note that set JAVA_HOME = D:\Applns\JDK1.5.11
/bin/java -classpath \classes \lib\laf.jar
has two forward slashes... they should all be backslashes

So do both machines have a directory called
D:\Applns\JDK1.5.11 ?

**faisalcmpm** · October 7th, 2007, 02:55 AM

yes both have

But my doubt is

if i assign the variable
JAVA_HOME = D:\Applns\JDK1.5.11

if i write %JAVA_HOME%\bin

should nt it print like D:\Applns\JDK1.5.11\bin

to print this is it necessory that D:\Applns\JDK1.5.11\bin
should be an existing directory

Open a cmd window and type in set, press enter
It will show you the variables you have set.
You should also type in path and press enter to see if you have set the path for java as well. (note this is different to classpath).

Post the result of set and path...
You only seem to be setting java home - you need to set java as well.

This is from an old project of mine
SET JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\java\j2re1.4.1_02"
SET JAVA=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java

If your office machine is also XP or 2k then it is likely the variables are set in the environmental variables within the properties for my computer, meaning that the batch file at the office isn't working either, it's just that XP already has the correct settings.

************************************************** *

From this what i concluded is The system couldnt realize the symbol %%

sse the details of second "set"

path = C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32 \Wbem;C:\Program Files\
Common Files\Adobe\AGL;\bin

ie the variable value %JAVA_HOME% is not recogonised by the system
the value of this is "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05" which is an existing value

The same case is for all other variables

Why are you setting the classpath to java_home and to the existing classpath and to your home?

The class path tells SDK tools and applications where to find third-party and user-defined classes -- that is, classes that are not Java extensions or part of the Java platform. The class path needs to find any classes you've compiled with the javac compiler -- its default is the current directory to conveniently enable those classes to be found.
