HPUX java 1.3 error

[sfgroups]

I have installed java 1.3.1.19 on 02/13/07. Today when we run the java its giving JVM error message.

/opt/java1.3/bin/java -version
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/misc/Version

then I copied /opt/java1.3 to /tmp and ran java -version command, it worked!!!

/tmp/java1.3/bin/java -version
+ /tmp/java1.3/bin/java -version
java version "1.3.1.19"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1.19-061215-02:09)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.3.1 1.3.1.19-_15_dec_2006_03_05 PA2.0, mixed mode)


I copied with cp -r and find ./java1.3 -print -depth | cpio -pmvd /tmp/

Both copies worked fine, so its not permission issue.

As far as I know, nothing changed on this server.

Any idea, why we are getting that error message?

Thanks

Hi Sfgroups,

with this error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
most of the time CLASSPATH is the problem.

run echo $CLASSPATH to see where it pointed to
if the location is not correct.
#unset CLASPATH
and try again

Cheers,
Tom

I don't think its related to CLASSPATH varible, this varible not in root user environment.

$echo $CLASSPATH
$

orginal copy error message:

$/opt/java1.3-org/bin/java -version
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/misc/Version

copied same binary into /tmp.

cp -rp /opt/java1.3-org /tmp/

/tmp/java1.3-org/bin/java -version
java version "1.3.1.19"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1.19-061215-02:09)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.3.1 1.3.1.19-_15_dec_2006_03_05 PA2.0, mixed mode)


I may need to reboot the server to fix this problem.

Thanks
