Could not find Main Class

[Boomn4x4]

I'm developing on Linux SUSE... I'm pretty green to Java. I'm writing a Java application to interface with an OpenEdge v10 database. I'm trying to use the JDBC drivers to do so.

I have a VERY simple Java application setup, all I'm trying to do is simply load the driver and connect to the database. (I'm sure once I get that far, I'll be good to go with the rest of Java as I am familar with C/C++) What I'm finding in the OpenEdge documentation is that there is a fairly significant difference between using the JDBC drives with OpenEdge 9 vs. 10... and I'm getting confused. Bottom line...my app is getting runtime errors that I'm not really sure how to go about addressing.

Here is the code that I'm using:

import java.net.URL;
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Properties;

public class ProgressTest
{
    public static String dbUrl = "jdbc:datadirect:openedge://stdblprovwv:6012;DatabaseName=cis";
    public static Connection con = null;

	public static void main (String args[])
	
	{
		try 
		{

			// Load the driver
			Driver dbDriver = (Driver)Class.forName("com.ddtek.jdbcx.openedge.OpenEdgeDataSource").newInstance();
			Properties props = new Properties();
			props.put("user", "cis");
			props.put("password", "");
			con = dbDriver.connect(dbUrl, props);
		}
		catch (Exception e)
		{
		    e.printStackTrace();

			System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
		}
	}
}

I'm sure these pieces of information are more suited for OpenEdge developers, but I'll give them to you anyway... in case they help. The OpenEdge documentation says I need to include the CLASSPATH environment to point to the location of my JDBC drivers, which are located in my /fiscal/dlc/java/lib directory.

When I execute the application prior to loading the supposed enviroment CLASSPATH, I get the following output:

mxb931@mxbscs:~/queue/java> java ProgressTest
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
	at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
	at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
	at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307)

	at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:169)
	at ProgressTest.main(ProgressTest.java:33)
Error: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

It looks to me there that it simply cannot find the OpenEdge driver, and throws an excpetion saying so.

Following the documentation and adding my CLASSPATH variable, I get a different output:

mxb931@mxbscs:~/queue/java> java ProgressTest
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ProgressTest
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ProgressTest

	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:320)
Could not find the main class: ProgressTest.  Program will exit.

Here it appears that it cannot find the defined class in the first place... Why can't it find the main class... when the main class is the program itself?

Thank you for your help.

Are you still having trouble with this? It seems like it should work. Is it possible ProgressTest.class no longer exists in ~/queue/java or the CLASSPATH somehow no longer contains "." (current directory)?
