Classpath, JavaUserClasses, and Spaces in notes.ini

Hi,

I am confused about how to tell a Notes/Domino application about external Java JAR files that it needs.

I have used the notes.ini JavaUserClasses parameter with success on a past project, but this time I need 9 JAR files and after adding pointers to all of them in JavaUserClasses, I was way over the 256 byte limit. [I read in this forum that there is a 256 byte limit for notes.ini parameters. I don’t know if this is a fact.]

What is the relationship between the system classpath and the notes.ini JavaUserClasses parameter? Does Notes/Domino ever check the system classpath or does it only look at the JavaUserClasses parameter and anything added to a Java program via “Edit Project”?

Also, when I did the earlier project, I found that the notes.ini JavaUserClasses parameter did not seem to like spaces in file paths. I tried double quotes but that didn’t work and so I created a short folder name without spaces and copied all the JAR files there. Has anyone had success specifying file paths with spaces in JavaUserClasses?

Thanks in Advance,
