cant run a simple sample, can someone help plz

um this is a sample from my class..... I can run my own programs but not this one for some reason.
I have the bytecode, but not the source... I put it in a zip file, I'll apreciate if anyone would let me know what I'm doing wrong.


I typed "java PA2" and it gives this error:


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: PA2 (Illegal constant poo
l type)

Looks like you are trying to load classes over a network. A class format error signals an error in the binary format of a class file. Since java.net.URLClassLoader extends java.security.URLSecureClassLoader extends java.lang.ClassLoader sn exception is being thrown from somewhere going up the stack. The only method that throws that exception in the ClassLoader class is protected final Class defineClass(byte[] b,int off,int len) and its variants. So somthing must be going on with the byte[] that is being passed in.

hmm so you couldnt run it either?

yes I downloaded it from a unix machine but I'm running it on my own comp. I thought it should work

any ideas?
