J2sdkee1.2.1 Cloudscape/Cloudview

[Roger Varley]

Hi All

When I try to start Cloudview, the program terminates with a
java.lang.NullPointerException. I've got the cloudscape.jar and
tools.jar in my classpath and I start cloudview with
java -ms32M -mx32M COM.cloudscape.tools.cview. I've looked at both Sun
and at Cloudscape's FAQ but I can't find any reference to the problem.
I'm using JDK1.3 on NT4.0 SP6.

Regards
Roger Varley.

J2SDKEE1.2.1 ships with Cloudscape 3.0.4; unfortunately, due to
interactions of widgets used in Cloudview with JDK1.3, Cloudview
versions prior to 3.5.1 will not run with JDK1.3.

You can download Cloudscape 3.5.1, which does include Cloudview,
from http://www.cloudscape.com/FreeDev. You can replace all of
the cloudscape jar files in J2SDKEE with the ones in 3.5.1.
However, you cannot replace just one of them -- Cloudview 3.5.1
is only for use with Cloudscape 3.5.1.

You will find client.jar, cloudscape.jar, and tools.jar in the
lib directory of the Cloudscape install; you will find the
RmiJdbc.jar file in frameworks/RmiJdbc/classes.

Other alternatives include:
1. you can use JDK1.2.2 with Cloudscape 3.0.4.
2. you can use Cloudscape's scripting tool ij, which runs
SQL commands, rather than Cloudview.
