I have installed cocobase on Win2000 professional and set my
CLASSPATH = "g:\cocobase\demos\resources" through the control panel. I tried to get a connection to my database but I receive a MissingResourceException can't find resource bundle name resources.license. I don't know what else to try. Should I do a new install and except the defaults ? Would I get this message if I had an invalid or expired license ?


String cocoDriver = "thought.CocoBase.CocoPowder";
String driverName = "com.inet.tds.TdsDriver";
String dbUrl ="jdbc:inetdae:sqlserver.pa.avercom.net:1433?database=scooper";
String logName ="scooper";
String psswd ="";

CocoDriverInterface myBase = CocoDriver.getCocoDriver(cocoDriver,driverName,dbUrl,logName,psswd);

There are a couple of small config issues with the Windows 2000
environment. The version of java installer we use doesn't
create the convenient windows shortcuts, so it isn't obvious
that in the demos directory there's a CocoAdmin.bat script
that launches CocoAdmin for you. As for as runtime classpath
settings, you can either include the classes;demos directories
in your CLASSPATH, or you can cd to the demos directory and
run either mkcocodirs.bat (win) or mkcocodirs.sh (unix/linux)
and a CocoDeploy.jar file will be created in the demos
directory that you can use to deploy or run against.

The reason your application didn't work is that you didn't
include the classes directory in your classpath. And the
resources directory where the license file is included from
isn't the classpath root for resources, it's the demos parent
directory...

Hope this helps!
