Accessing Cloudconnector from a Client
Page 2 of 4

Preparing Clients

Before attempting to connect to the Cloudconnector server, verify your JDK version, your classpath, and WebLogic version.

JDK Version

Cloudconnector client applications can use JDK version 1.1 or 1.2.

Class Path

Prior to connecting to Cloudconnector, verify that the client class path has been set to include the following files and directories (paths are shown as relative to the Cloudscape installation directory):

  • /lib/client.jar
  • /frameworks/cloudconnect/classes/
  • /frameworks/cloudconnect/lib/weblogicaux.jar
  • /frameworks/cloudconnect/license/
  • /lib/tools.jar

    (if using the Cloudscape tools ij or Cloudview on the client.)

NOTE: Cloudscape provides a script named SetClientCloudscapeCP (.bat and .ksh) which you can modify and run, or use as a guideline for setting your class path. The SetClientCloudscapeCP file is located in the frameworks/cloudconnect/bin subdirectory of the Cloudconnector installation.

Cloudconnector WebLogic Version

The Cloudconnector client(s) and server must both use the same version of the WebLogic software. For example, BEA WebLogic 3.1.5 clients cannot access the 4.5 server. Version information is displayed at startup.

See the Cloudconnector release notes for information on the version of the WebLogic software provided with Cloudconnector Version 3.6
