How to compile and run the program

Preparations

The application consists of two classes stored in the two files Run.java and and GetCompanycodeList.java. We are using a directory name d:\javatest for the classes.

For our convinience we also copy the SAP/Java connector class and the jRFC12.dll to the same directory, so we easily can include them in the CLASSPATH.

Copy: jCO.jar and jRFC12.dll to d:\javatest

Compiling:

We now compile the two classes. Remember to use the classpath statement

d:\javatest>javac *.java -classpath d:\javatest;d:\javatest\jCO.jar

Running the application from a DOS prompt:

Aalso here remember the classpath (-cp)

d:\javatest>java -cp d:\javatest;d:\javatest\jCO.jar Run

Making a JAR file

Make a manifest file in notepad and name it mainclass. In the manifest write:

Main-Class: Run

Make the JAR file:

jar cvmf mainclass sap.jar *.class jCO.jar

Important: When you compile the java claases a file named GetCompanycodeList$1.class is automatically generated. This file must be included in the JAR file.

Running the JAR file from a DOS prompt:

java -jar sap.jar
