Holy moly Sarah - you nailed it! The Oracle client tools were hijacking the JVM in the system path. Putting them at the end of the path worked!!
Thank you sooooo much! I've been staring at this problem for 2 days and was frankly getting a little sick of it. I never would have thought to look at that. Earl >>> Bartlett, Sarah<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/27/2004 2:16:21 PM >>> I had this problem also even though I had the latest jdk. What I found was that when I installed Oracle on my machine it put an older jdk in my path in front of the correct one. I found this out when, on a hunch I did a java -version in the command window and found that it was not showing 1.4.whatever. Moving the oracle paths to the back of the line fixed it. -----Original Message----- From: Earl Lewis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 3:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SSL problems sebb, Thanks for the reply. After your reply I started looking into the Jmeter classpath question - to see what JVM it's pointing to. Here's what the JMeter help says about classpath. -- begin help text -- JMeter automatically finds classes from jars in its /lib and /lib/ext directories. If you want to add other JAR files to JMeter's classpath, then you must copy them to JMeter's "lib" directory. If you have developed new JMeter specific components, then you should jar them and copy the jar into JMeter's /lib/ext directory. JMeter will automatically find JMeter components in any jars found here. You can also install utility Jar files in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext Note that setting the CLASSPATH environment variable will have no effect. This is because JMeter is started with "java -jar", and the java command silently ignores the CLASSPATH variable, and the -classpath/-cp options when -jar is used. [This occurs with all Java programs, not just JMeter.] -- end help text -- OK - I'll buy that. If the jars need to go someplace else I'll put them there. So I go find the JSSE jars (jcert.jar, jsse.jar, jnet.jar) and copy them into $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext like the help says - and still no luck. And still the same error - see first post. Any suggestions?
