Darn! Good guess.. but...
Actually here is the full output from and attempted compile. Apparently
something is a bit 'different' on rhel3 systems.
javac -classpath /usr/local/tomcat/common/lib/servlet.jar HelloWorld.java
libgcj-java-placeholder.sh
This script is a placeholder for the /usr/bin/java
master link required by jpackage.org conventions. libgcj's
rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools are now slave symlinks to these
masters, and are managed by the alternatives(8) system.
This change was necessary because the rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools
installed by previous versions of libgcj conflicted with symlinks
installed by jpackage.org JVM packages.
This script was designed to be overridden by the supported RHEL3 JRE
packages, java-1.4.2-bea and java-1.4.2-ibm. It is installed as an
alternative symlink as /usr/bin/java. It will override a third-party
(non-RHEL3) JRE's java command if the JRE's bin directory is listed
after /usr/bin in PATH. In that case, it is recommended that the
third-party JRE's bin directory be listed first in PATH instead.
gij: unrecognized option -- `-classpath'
Try `gij --help' for more information.
and then output from gij --help
Usage: gij [OPTION] ... CLASS [ARGS] ...
to interpret Java bytecodes, or
gij -jar [OPTION] ... JARFILE [ARGS] ...
to execute a jar file
-DVAR=VAL define property VAR with value VAL
--help print this help, then exit
--ms=NUMBER set initial heap size
--mx=NUMBER set maximum heap size
--showversion print version number, then keep going
--version print version number, then exit
See http://gcc.gnu.org/java/ for information on reporting bugs
So, I only see -jar from above which might be useful and am now getting
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
/usr/local/tomcat/common/lib/servlet-api.jar
so apparently this isn't what I need either.. or maybe I just don't know
enough. All I want to do is compile a simple little example java script
into a class so I can set up one "working from scratch" jsp webapp.
---Begin Side Rant as this is NOT CentOS----------
Wow!!! This whole server install has been the ultimate dawg! As for the
above, I don't personally intend to do any scripting for use in the
environment. I haven't done much with java at all (a shortcoming as I'm
not familiar with Sun's lingo). All I want is to get to the end of this
install and have a working system for what will be quite a few clients..
one is 'pressing' now (15 grand for a new website and they want it
working now! >>>pressure<<<). I must say though, I can't remember going
through anything so convoluted as the Jakarta/Tomcat install and
attempting to run it from a shared hosting system. Compared to this,
Apache is a piece of cake.. and sendmail and even FPSEs. Documentation
from Sun is way worse than anything that has come out of Microsoft Press
and basically assumes you know everything before and after what you're
reading in order to understand what you're reading, which leads me to
believe you wouldn't need to be reading at all as you would know
everything already. Also, Sun seems to like to change things a bit..
almost as bad as Microsoft's renaming of the buttons in Outlook with
each release.. or their forcing the use of 'Wizards' (it's magical IF it
works!) for the most simplistic setting change to an email account.
---sorry.. End Rant.. I just needed to vent a bit----------
Thanks for any and all help!
