Your web site has been blocked by our MIS departement. Dont know why.

If everything is in the same directory, then you need to specify the
path of the directory when you are specifying the classpath.
Otherwise, I think, java will look on your platform path or
classpath. Since it would appear that you have everything in the same
space, why not just say -cp ./ and be done with it?

That wouldn't look in jar files in ".", only class files.

What is required in the classpath is both "." and the jar-file. The arguments to
the java command must precede the main class as everything on the command line
following the main class is passed to the main class in the args array.

java -classpath .:ojdbc14.jar j

should work, although Windows command shell may require some quotes around the
argument.
