As400 Java

The author wrote a Java program to retrieve file records from an AS/400 system, but is encountering errors when trying to run the program. The program compiles successfully but throws a NoClassDefFoundError at runtime. The author connected their PC to multiple AS/400 systems and is unsure how the program determines which system to connect to. They are seeking help to resolve the runtime error and determine how the program specifies the target AS/400 system.

Sorry this is long but I didn't want to leave anything out because I am new at this/ticked/and increasingly bitter.

I have read a couple of books on JAVA and wrote several little classes that run on my PC, no big deal. Then I decided to take the next step and see if I could right a program to pull some file information from the 400. I looked through Don Denoncourt's book 'JAVA Application Strategies for the iSeries & AS/400' and saw a small simple program that prints out a file out of QIWS that all AS/400's are shipped with (so he says). I did verify the file is there and it has some records in it. I did have some difficulties getting the program to compile,it couldn't find the jt400.jar file that needed to be placed on the PC. I straightened out my PATH and CLASSPATH variables and was able to get it to compile. When I try to run it from a DOS prompt in blows up in my face with the following: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_07>java ListRecords Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ListRecords (wrong na me: jt400/ListRecords) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(Unknow n Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$100(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(Unknown Source) C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_07> Here is the source code: package jt400; import import import import java.io.*; java.util.*; java.math.*; com.ibm.as400.access.*;

public class ListRecords { public ListRecords() { // Step 1: // Connect to an AS/400 AS400 system = new AS400();

// Step 2: // Specify file location QSYSObjectPathName filePathName = new QSYSObjectPathName("QIWS","QCUSTCDT","FILE"); SequentialFile theFile = new SequentialFile(system,filePathName.getPath()); // Step 3: // Retrieve a record format AS400FileRecordDescription recDesc = new AS400FileRecordDescription(system, filePathName.getPath()); try { theFile.setRecordFormat(recDesc.retrieveRecordForm at()[0]); // Step 4: // Open the File theFile.open(AS400File.READ_ONLY, 0, AS400File.COMMIT_LOCK_LEVEL_NONE); // Step 5: // Read a record for (Record record = theFile.readNext(); record != null; record = theFile.readNext()) { // Step 6: // Retrieve the field values of that record BigDecimal CustnoField = (BigDecimal) record.getField( "CUSNUM" ); String NameField = (String) record.getField( "LSTNAM" ); System.out.println(NameField + CustnoField); } // Close the file theFile.close(); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println( "Error occurred listing the file."); try { theFile.close(); } catch(Exception x) { System.out.println( "Error occurred closing the file."); } System.exit(0); } System.exit(0); }

public static void main(String[] args) { ListRecords listRecords = new ListRecords(); } } I don't know if my path or classpath is wrong but it does compile so I would think I should be Ok with that. I am a little concerned about how it can find the 400 from what code there is. My PC is connect to 3 400's so I don't know how it would know which one to try and pull data from. The book did say the code should work 'as is'. I must be the unluckiest SOB alive because 'as is' rarely stops at my door to say howdy. If you have gotten this far I thank you and if you could point me in the correct direction on getting this thing to run I would be happy.
