Re: [staf-users] STAF fails to start when STAX is added to the configuration file

Thanks for getting back to me on this Sharon. JSTAF.jar does exists and is
specified in the CLASSPATH:

-bash-4.1# ls -al /usr/local/staf/lib/JSTAF.jar
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 root root 89542 Mar 28 20:01 /usr/local/staf/lib/JSTAF.jar
-bash-4.1# echo $CLASSPATH
/usr/local/staf/lib/JSTAF.jar:/usr/local/staf/samples/demo/STAFDemo.jar

But for some reason, the CLASSPATH variable was not recognized. When I re-
exported it, STAFProc started working again.

Thank you very much again!!!
