Exception in thread "main" 


There could be a couple of reasons for the above error

1. .class files not created properly

Try
Project -> Clean -> Clean all projects / Clean project selected below -> OK

2. JVM is not able to pick the classpath

Try
right click on the project -> Properties -> Java Compiler -> unclick the first box saying 'Enable project specific settings' -> Apply -> OK

3. A missing JAR file in the classpath

Try
right click on the project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> (Remove unwanted missing jar files if any) -> OK

Hope this helps in most of the cases.

Java - To Know which Jar file is referring for a particular class

Many times it happens that multiple JAR files are referring to a particular class and such ambiguity may cause problem in our application. Lets a simple program which can help to detect which jar file is referring for a specific class.

I have added the code in a java program however you can add it in your JSP or a Servlet as per your requirement.

Java : Read / Write Excel file (.xls or .xlsx) using Apache POI

We will see how we can read or write excel file (.xls or .xlsx) using Apache POI. To know more about Apache POI, click here.

You can download latest version of JAR files from http://poi.apache.org/download.html.

In our case we are using Apache POI 3.8. To run below example you will need to download poi-bin-3.8-20120326.zip file from http://poi.apache.org/download.html. You will get below JAR files, add those in your claspath.

• dom4j-1.6.1.jar
• xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar
• poi-3.8-20120326.jar
• poi-ooxml-3.8-20120326.jar
• poi-ooxml-schemas-3.8-20120326.jar

Please see the self explanatory Java code.

If you get above error, probably your application is not able to find commons-logging.jar in classpath.

Download the latest version of JAR file from below URL and add it to classpath of your applications classpath

http://commons.apache.org/logging/download_logging.cgi

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver

If you get below mentioned error


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver

        at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source)

Possible reason could be you forgot to add db2java.jar file in classpath. Please cross check if the jar file db2java.jar is added in class path.

Also make sure that driver name is in proper case, as Driver name case sensitive. i.e. COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver (Note that COM is in upper case)
