Manifest.MF issue with MSSQLSERVER 2008 and Groovy
I have a very simple groovy script with 2 database connections:
One db connection to Oracle
Another db connection to SQLServer
Problem
When I run the program through the GGTS Editor (The groovy and grails version of SpringSource Tool Suite), the two queries run and return results fine. But, when I run the program from the command line, from the project folder as follows:
groovy -cp lib\jtds-1.3.0.jar lib\ojdbc6-11g.jar src\Starter.groovy
I get the following error:
C:\workspace-ggts\Test>groovy -cp lib\jtds-1.3.0.jar lib\ojdbc6-11g.jar src\Star
ter.groovy
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
C:\workspace-ggts\Test\lib\ojdbc6-11g.jar: 1: unexpected char: 0x3 # line 1, col

What I have Tried
I have tried using the jtds driver to connect to SQLServer as I thought the problem was the sqljdbc4.jar from Microsoft site based on this same problem reported differently here
I have tried putting semicolons to separate the classpath dependencies, and still same error.
I have upgraded java version to 1.7. Groovy version is 2.0.5
From the IDE it runs fine, but from command line I get the error.
If I comment out one of the db access code (connection, query, println of resultset) leaving my groovy script with only one db connection & access the program runs fine from command line. For example:
This
groovy -cp lib\jtds-1.3.0.jar src\Starter.groovy
or this:
groovy -cp lib\ojdbc6-11g.jar src\Starter.groovy
does work. As soon as I add the code and the jar in the classpath for that second db access I get the error reported above.
I am out of thoughts or ideas

Answer 1

Files in your classpath need to be separated with a semi-colon on Windows. On unix-like platforms like Linux or OSX, the separator is a colon. Groovy is treating the second jar file as the script, and the script name as the first command line parameter.
Try this:
groovy -cp lib\jtds-1.3.0.jar;lib\ojdbc6-11g.jar src\Starter.groovy
Do you get a different error with that?
