Just for the archives. JDK 1.4.2 SR4 fixed a sun specification bug but introduce problems for us. Since SR4 the JVM ignore the classpath environment variable and also the -cp setting for jar files. This is WAD (works as designed or better specified) since SR4 only MANIFEST.MF should provide the classpaths. Be aware the MANIFEST must be a ASCII file with CRLF even we works under z/OS !!!
However to avoid adding system classes or paths hardcoded in the MANIFEST.MF you can add system extentions to the JAVA/lib/ext/ and JVM will pick them up. We create some SYMLINKS for the DB2-JCC driver pointing to DB2 path and the application works without any hardcoded classpath in the MANIFEST.MF !!!! I love Java but IBM should made the documentation :-)) SHOWzOS 715 is still growing and you will love the new data !!! * Implement enhancements contributed by Roland Schiradin RS1206 * Print all macro extensions as nobody prints the RS0107 * assembly listing at all. This change almost double RS0107 * the spool storage but this is just memory or DASD RS0107 * (John Hamlet) RS0107 * Coupling: Measurement data RS0107 * Limit the number of entries in the Common Storage Usage RS0107 * Number of signals truncated RS0107 * IWMWSYSQ RC8 RSN0F010828 apply OA03618 RS0107 * Bug in CSSTOR100 R3 was wrong (James Goreham) RS0107 * Display WLM Definitions not only active (WLMD) RS0107 * Includes Application Environments, Schedule Env RS0107 * Policies among other RS0107 * Display Transaction/Region manages (WLM212 ..) RS1206 * New EWLM Classification types RS1206 * New switch to suppress the carriage control character RS1206 * Looks smarter in the PDF using TXT2PDF from Lionel RS1206 * &PRINT_CC SETC 'Y' prints page feed or always space RS1206 * (David Jousma) RS1206 Currently I'm working on the new display for the XCF Structures like D XCF,STR,STRNAME=ALL provide.

John, not sure for CICS but jar files works fine under z/OS. I wrote some Java code under Windows and upload (ftp) them binary to z/OS and execute them without modifications and vice versa. Be aware 1. The mainfest file must be ASCII regardless the development plattform (z/OS!!) 2. JDK 1.4.2 SR6 seems to have a problem with the etc/profile classpath settings. As a workaround you could add the classpath into your mainfest file (layout is a bit different). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
