Running batch file from command prompt getting error

Question

Hi I have a batch file which basically updates some table in the database by running the job.

Here is a batch file code:

I am trying to run the batch file from command prompt but I am getting error like

C:\ProjectWorkSpace\myProject\tools>C:\ProjectWorkSpace\myProject\web\WEB-INF\classes;
'C:\ProjectWorkSpace\myProject\web\WEB-INF\classes' is not recognized as an internal    or     external command,
 operable program or batch file.

and the second error at the end I am getting as

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/myProject/batch    /PropertyRatesUpdaterBatchJob
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:    com.myProject.batch.PropertyRatesUpdaterBatchJob

    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)

and I am not able to run the batch file. Anybody can help me to how to run the same and what this error mean.

Hi here is my new batch file:

java -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128m com.zaranga.batch.PropertyRatesUpdaterBatchJob

Now I am getting a new error log4j as Error is :

No org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder found in ClassPath, trying with log4j...

Any help will be greatly appriciated.

Answer 1

I assume with

set CLASSPATH=C:\ProjectWorkSpace\myProject\build\myProject\WEB-INF\lib\selenium-server-standalone-2.32.0.jar;
C:\ProjectWorkSpace\myProject\build\myProject\WEB-INF\lib\jsoup-1.7.2.jar;

You wanted to also add jsoup-1.7.2.jar; to the CLASSPATH variable, but you can't just extend a command over multiple lines like that.

If you want to write this on multiple lines, each line (except for the last one of course) must end with the so called "line continuation character" which tells Windows that the command (in your case the SET) isn't finished yet, even though the line is. This character is ^ in Windows (comparable to the \ in Linux/Unix shell scripts)

So what you need is:

set CLASSPATH=C:\ProjectWorkSpace\myProject\build\myProject\WEB-INF\lib\selenium-server-standalone-2.32.0.jar; ^
C:\ProjectWorkSpace\myProject\build\myProject\WEB-INF\lib\jsoup-1.7.2.jar; ^
C:\ProjectWorkSpace\myProject\build\myProject\WEB-INF\lib\xstream-1.1.3.jar; ^
.... ^
.... ^
C:\ProjectWorkSpace\myProject\web\WEB-INF\classes;

java -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128m com.myProject.batch.PropertyRatesUpdaterBatchJob

^{(btw: you have C:\ProjectWorkSpace\myProject\web\WEB-INF\classes twice in your list)}

You must make sure that there is no whitespace whatsoever after the ^ otherwise this will not work.

Btw: you shouldn't be using the CLASSPATH variable anymore. It's better to explicitly define a classpath using the -cp (or -classpath parameter for the java command).

In recent (up-to-date) versions of Java for Windows you don't need to specify each element in the classpath variable.

Quote from http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html

As a special convenience, a class path element that contains a base name of * is considered equivalent to specifying a list of all the files in the directory with the extension .jar or .JAR

So you can get rid of all the lines and just use:

java -cp C:\ProjectWorkSpace\myProject\build\myProject\WEB-INF\lib\*;C:\ProjectWorkSpace\myProject\web\WEB-INF\classes  com.myProject.batch.PropertyRatesUpdaterBatchJob
