Ray,
Don't add everything to the classpath. What I would try is making sure
the appropriate files are added to $JBOSS_HOME/lib/ext (i.e. database
drivers), and running your java code with the -classpath switch. It
tends to be dangerous to overload your global classpath... and I think
its a security risk as far as EJB servers go... I know many commercial
EJB servers are started with a script that intentionally negates the
classpath and gives its Java Machine ONLY the classpath required for its
core operation. Its up to the client to set classpath for other things.
Personally, classpath is one of the things that leaves me in terror of
ever installing a new java doohicky. I hate it. It sucks.
Because of obnoxious classpath problems with multible versions and
implementations of this or that doohicky, my team decided to have NO
global classpath. We wrote a Python tool that creates and executes a
java commandline (like: 'java -classpath /opt/src/myclasses.jar
com.dmod.myclass') based on properties from a config file. That way you
can use the smallest classpath you need for anything you're trying to
do.
To run jboss clients, I have all the jars from the $JBOSS_HOME/lib/ext
directory, as well as my client jar after my -classpath in the java
command.
Anyhow, if something like this doesn't work, maybe its NOT a classpath
error. Anyway, I think I missed the post when everyone decided it WAS.
