Main startup class

[j0h@nb]

I have a Flash application from which i call a few java executables that are supposed to open other programs/files etc. Works well from where i'm sitting, but one of my clients is having trouble with it. Whenever he clicks on a button that calls one of the java programs he receives an error that states: "The main startup class could not be found".

Any ideas what could cause this?

Main class(actually class which has main method) may be missing. Check whether it is there first.

[j0h@nb]

Yup, here's the code i'm using...

Code:

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class OpenFile
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		
		try{
			String userdir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
			
			String parsedUserdir = userdir.substring(userdir.indexOf(":")-1,userdir.indexOf(":")).toLowerCase();
			
			String fileName;
			
			if(parsedUserdir.equals("c")){
				fileName = "C:\\temp\\fscommand\\4400796_Diagnosfil_PropPlus_SE.P1D";
			}else if(parsedUserdir.equals("d")){
				fileName = "D:\\fscommand\\4400796_Diagnosfil_PropPlus_SE.P1D";
			}else if(parsedUserdir.equals("e")){
				fileName = "E:\\fscommand\\4400796_Diagnosfil_PropPlus_SE.P1D";
			}else if(parsedUserdir.equals("f")){
				fileName = "F:\\fscommand\\4400796_Diagnosfil_PropPlus_SE.P1D";
			}else{
				fileName = "G:\\fscommand\\4400796_Diagnosfil_PropPlus_SE.P1D";
			}
			
			Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();

			Process proc1 = rt.exec( "cmd /C start "+ fileName );
			proc1.waitFor();

		}catch(Throwable t){
			t.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

This code is ok. If the correct file in correct drive/path it opens. So what is your issue here.

[j0h@nb]

Well, one of my clients gets an error when running this. Works well on my machine, but as he runs it on his machine it says "The main startup class could not be found". Could it have something to do with his configuration? (security or whatever...?)

[Eranga]

I don't think so. This application not deal with such security level. Is that your complete application run on an applet. If so the browser can't be support it. Specially in FF.

[j0h@nb]

Forgot to mention...it's a standalone flash app, so it doesn't run from a browser. Runs from a CD or usb-drive.

[Eranga]

Hmm, according to your error message, it wont be related with the wrong file path of the searching file. More possibility to missing the main class, the above class.

You say that the application you have with is working. Can you test your working application on your clients' machine.

[j0h@nb]

Turned out that they didn't allow JVM on their machines. Problem partially solved, now i just need another workaround. Thanks for the efforts. :-)

This is interesting. How did you find that JVM not allowed this.

[sandeepkk2005]

Have you put it in the executable jar file?
If yes in manifest file you have to specify Main-Class name with full package name.

[Eranga]

Great, yes it can be a reason. But if he use the same type of package on his message, it wont be happened.

[sandeepkk2005]

Package is not a problem in this case.
It seems to problem with not specifying Main-Class attribute in Jar File.
There is no other way this can happen.
Program is correct.

Sorry you don't get me. What I've mean by package is the whole project. Sorry for the confusing.

Yes the program is correct. Actually this is not the only issue on this. j0h@nb says that there is some issue with JVM.
