trying to write a java daemon

d4v1d

i am currently trying to write a java daemon and it is still very much in a test stage.

the basic steps is that
1. the service starts.
2. reads some configuration
3. starts up a new thread
4. opens a server socket listening on a port specified in the configuration.

whenever i try to run the program i keep hitting...
[Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: lld
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: lld
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:252)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:320)
Could not find the main class: lld. Program will exit.]

i've attached the test application i am trying to use and the configuration file that i have created.

to start it I am using
[java -cp . lld -DLLD.properties]

anyone have any ideas on where i'm going wrong.

made some progress, by playing around with this using testng i managed to get the service started from within eclipse. i just now need to start it from the command line. i've modified the class name to
[java -cp . com.<package>.<classname> -DLLD.properties]

...where classname contains the main() function.

still can't get it to start though

After extracting your zip file to RunTest and starting with the command line in that folder:

compile:
javac -cp java_daemon/src/main/java/ java_daemon/src/main/java/com/lld/main/StartDaemon.java

run:
java -cp java_daemon/src/main/java/ -DpropertiesFile="LLD.properties" com/lld/main/StartDaemon

any help?
