Bug - OziExplorer is not running?

[Sven-Ove]

Using the following code:

public static void main(String[] args) throws OziException {
        System.out.println("Version: "+OziAPI.getApiVersion());
        System.out.println("Ozi-status: " + OziAPI.findOzi());
        OziAPI.saveTrackFile(1, "c:/temp/ozitest/1.plt");
}

Gives:

Version: 1.09
Ozi-status: true
Exception in thread "main" com.oziexplorer.OziException: OziExplorer is not running
at com.oziexplorer.OziAPI.saveTrackFile(Native Method)
at oziautosave.OziAutosave.main(OziAutosave.java:22)
Java Result: 1

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

A little bit more testing:

System.out.println("Version: " + OziAPI.getApiVersion());
        System.out.println("Ozi-status: " + OziAPI.findOzi());
        System.out.println("Ozi-exepath: " + OziAPI.getExePath());
        System.out.println("Ozi-version: " + OziAPI.getOziVersion());
        OziAPI.closeProgram();

Gives:

Version: 1.09
Ozi-status: true
Ozi-exepath: -1
Ozi-version: -1
Exception in thread "main" com.oziexplorer.OziException: OziExplorer is not running
at com.oziexplorer.OziAPI.addWaypoint(Native Method)
at com.oziexplorer.WaypointFile.display(WaypointFile.java:249)
at oziauto.OziAutoload.main(OziAutoload.java:32)
Java Result: 1

AND it does close OziExplorer.

OziExplorer-version is 3.95.5n.
Compiling/running i Netbeans 7.1 on 64-bit Windows 7.

Adding c:\oziexplorer to the PATH-variable in Windows seems to have solved the problem! :D
Perhaps there should be a setting in the API for defining what folder OziExplorer is installed, for those not using the default folder?

Also, I had to set Netbeans to use jdk_home to the 32-bit JDK, cause the DLL didn't support 64-bit.

You need to have OziOexplorer running first before you use the API.  See the original OziExplorer API documentation.

[Sven-Ove]

OziExplorer was running (see OziAPI.findOzi() returning "true").
The problem has been solved - as I hadn't installed OziExplorer in the default directory, the API seemed to fail in finding it.
Adding c:\oziexplorer to the PATH-systemvariable solved the problem. :)
