Preparing to Run a Program
Before you run a spatial Java™ API program, set your CLASSPATH environment variable and compile the program.
Setting your CLASSPATH Environment Variable
When
compiling or running the programs in this chapter, set your CLASSPATH
environment variable to include:
- The HCL Informix® JDBC Driver, ifxjdbc.jar, in the directory where you installed the driver.
- The Spatial DataBlade Java API, spatial.jar, in the directory where you installed the DataBlade module, $INFORMIXDIR/extend/spatial.version.
- The examples/java directory (where these example programs are located) in the directory where you installed the DataBlade module, $INFORMIXDIR/extend/spatial.version.
Compiling the Programs
Use the javac command
to compile the programs in this chapter (be sure that your CLASSPATH
is set correctly, as described above). For example, to compile all
the programs, go to the examples/java directory
and enter the following command:
javac *.java
