Re: using JServer...how to configure/use........new to this, please help

Karsten, thanks so much for replying. Let me explain my environment a little better to you. I do all my development on Windows 2000 using Eclipse as my Java IDE and Toad as my interface to Oracle. The actual Oracle database resides on the Solaris server. And this is where my confusion comes in...

I didn't really understand what you meant about generations of classes. Can you explain please? Also, are you saying that if my CLASSPATH is set correctly (as an environment variable on Windows) that when I do loadjava the correct dependencies will also be loaded? I load .class files and not .java files, does this make a difference? Should I do one vs. the other?

My classpath environment variable on Windows is defined as "ClassPath" but only contains entries for Rational stuff. Within Eclipse, I also add my dependencies by including external jars and making new Variables pointing to my external libraries.

Any more info would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.
