samba - Mar 2001 - Samba and java

Hi,
I have sent this message before does any one have any ideas? We really need
to be able to run Java class files from the root of a samba share. I think
that the problem may have to do with Samba file name mangeling and that this
may be preventing the java virtual machine from finding the calls file
through the classpath environment variable.

Here is the original message.
Can any one help?


We have had some trouble trying to run applications and applets compiled to
the root directory of   a drive mapped to a Samba share. The VM reports the
it cann't find the main class though the class files will run in
subdirectories or anywhere on a physical fat partition.

Any ideas?

Chris

Hi, 
and thanks

no we were just tring to run a command like 
java myJava.class
from the X: prompt
this is after compiling the java file like so

javac myJava.java

the compile is fine but the byte code won't run from the root directory

the VM reports that it can't find the myJava class.


thanks

Chris,
I note that your class name is mixed case (myJava.java); is it possible that

you are running into a case problem?  You might give the parameters:
preserve case
preserve case lower
and
case sensitive
in the smb.conf file a peek, and see if some combination of these would
help.
Take a look (from the UNIX side) to see exactly how the class file was
saved,
and then maybe do a log level=10 run of the java program to look and verify 
the case of how the program is looking for the class name matches what you
actually
have on the share...
Hope this helps,
Don
