I had specified a classpath to load a class loading program, but my program could not be found.
I specified the Java options -XshowSettings.
The value of java.class.path had just one .jar, and did not include my classpath!
I found in some Oracle documentation
When you use
-jar, the specified JAR file is the source of all user classes, and other class path settings are ignored. If you’re using JAR files, then see jar.
Simple – once you know…
How to fix it
I added my class to the Jar
/usr/lpp/javaJ21.0_64/bin/jar uf /u/tmp/zowep/components/gateway/bin/gateway-service.jar -C /u/tmp/java CCLoader.class
My class was found – and it worked!
