Error executing the Java AS Application Client

[former_member250191]

I want to develop an Java AS application client and I'm following the tutorial from the SAP Help Portal Creating and Implementing the Application Client - Developing Java EE 5 Applications - SAP Library

I created everything - in the meanwhile 2 times 😉 - as described in the tutorial. Unfortunately without success at the end. Starting the ANT script at the end I always get the following error.

Buildfile: C:\APPS\SAPNWDS7.3-EHP1-SP15-PAT0005\workspace\CalculatorServiceClient\appclient_starter.xml

execute:

     [java] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/engine/services/appclient/client/Launcher

     [java] Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sap.engine.services.appclient.client.Launcher

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

I think I updated the script correctly as described at the end of the tutorial.

Any idea what I did wrong ?

Thank you. This thread was very helpful.

The problem was that the Launcher class was  not on my laptop. So I downloaded the ...~appclient~impl.JAR from the server, added into the classpath and everythink was fine.
