Crontab not recognizing the jar files

Hi All,
I am using crontab which execute a shell script.
In the shell script, I am executing a java program. This Java program requires the jar files.
The cron job file ' cronfile.txt ' contents:

MAILTO="raju_utla@dcis.uohyd.ernet.in"
0-59 * * * * ./cronfile.sh >> /home/rajuutla/FilesForCronJob/logFileForCron.log

The shell script( cronfile.sh ) contents :
#!/bin/bash
#check weather server prog is running or not
test=`ps aux | grep -c java\ PostgresServer`
JAVA_HOME=/opt/SDK/jdk
CLASSPATH=/home/rajuutla/pg74.jdbc3.jar:.
if [ $test -eq 1 ]
then
echo `date`
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -classpath $CLASSPATH PostgresServer

fi

The java program 'PostgresServer' which i am executing requires the jar file
'pg74.jdbc3.jar' mentioned above.

The problem is, directly running the above shell script with out cron, I am able to get the results. But when I use the crontab to run the java program I am not able to get the results.

What may be the problem? How to resolve this problem? I am unable to find it out.
Please help me.
Thanks to All.
Raju

jpackage-utils(7) RPM Java packaging jpackage-utils(7) NAME
jpackage-utils - Utilities, macros and other files for the JPackage Project <http://www.jpackage.org/>: SYNOPSIS
build-classpath build the Java classpath in a portable manner build-jar-repository build a jar repository in a portable manner rebuild-jar-repository rebuild a jar repository in a portable manner (after a jvm change...) build-classpath-directory build the Java classpath from a directory diff-jars show jar content differences jvmjar install jvm extensions create-jar-links create custom jar links clean-binary-files remove binary files from sources check-binary-files check for presence of unexpected binary files DESCRIPTION
The JPackage Project has two primary goals: - To provide a coherent set of Java software packages for Linux, satisfying all quality requirements of other applications. - To establish an efficient and robust policy for Java software packaging and installation. We focus on free and open source software whenever possible. For convenience, we also provide non-free packages without the restricted source code. Our RPMs are generic in that they should work on any RPM based Linux distribution (Mandriva, Red Hat, SuSE, others). Other packaging format suggestions are welcome too. FILES
