idlj.exe : file not found exception

I'm running the following command through CMD:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51\bin\idlj.exe" -fall hello.idl

The hello.idl file is located in the same folder as the idlj.exe file and contains the following

module HelloApp
{
interface Hello
{
string sayHello();
oneway void shutdown();
};
};

However, I am receiving the following error upon execution of the above command:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: hello.idl (The system cannot find the file specified)

Can you please advise what is wrong here and the solution. Should the idl file be located in another folder?

Thanks

Solution

  • The file hello.idl should be in your current directory.

    So if you have the idl file in the same dir like idlj.exe, then you should go to directory C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51\bin and execute the command: idlj.exe -fall hello.idl
