During deployment include certain third party jars using deployment API.

I am trying to deploy using the weblogic deployment API ( Weblogic 10.0) and want to include certain external jars during the deployment process. I have found that one way is to provide in the setWLSenv.bat but I cannot include the external jars that are runtime specific.
In websphere we can pass the classess as a parameter (-cp) to the WAS Deploy tool (ejbdeploy) but need to find how to do it in Weblogic 10.0

IDE and Maven have nothing to do with it.
You need to look at your Oracle AS docs and put the 3rd party JARs in the directory where it expects to find them. I don't know where that is. Most Java EE app servers are different. WebLogic uses an APP-INF directory at the top level of the EAR file. I don't believe it's a Java EE standard. There's more variability in EAR arrangements than there is for WAR files. Those are standard.

Create a JAR including third party JARS

How can I export my project into a JAR file also including the third party JARs being used from my application (project)?
I think Eclipse does not support this, does it?
The problem is, that when I export my project into a JAR and then manually put the required JARs into the JAR using WinZip I do get such an Exception:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/ucp/jdbc/PoolDataSourceFactory
In my project I have a class (Runner.java) with a main method which the user can invoke from command line. Furthermore I have a GUI also with a main method which internally invokes Runner.java. How can I start either of themain methods/classes both in the same JAR?
Thank you.

hi, i have a question.
i have an application that uses different third party
jars. For the moment i make my jar like this :
a) i include all my third party jars (it is working)
or is it better to
b) include the jars in the jnlp file
this is best, leaving the third party jars alone.
if b is better should i :
b1) link to them to another jnlp file, like this :
<extension name ....
If you app needs all-permissions, it is best to do it this way, you can, for example, sign your jar, and then ask for all-permissions in the main jnlp file, then not ask for all-permissions in the extension jnlp file. Or you can ask for all-permission in the extension as well, if the third party jars are signed, and need all-permissions to run properly.
or
b2) just put them as resources
if you don't need all-permissions anywhere, this is easiest.
If you do need all-permissions everywhere, you could also do this, but you would need to sign the third party jars with the same certificate chain as you signed your jar.
If the third party jars are allready signed by the third party, or if all-permissions are only needed in some of the jars, the b1 is beter.
>
Another question :
i sign my jar, but can't access the local file
system. if i use solution a from above, do i have
also to sign the jars that i include in my jar...
You need to add :
<security> <all-permissions/> </security>
to your jnlp file. In that case, all the jars listed as resources in that jnlp file need to be signed, and by the same certificate.
for solution b i think i will have to sign all the
jars... right ?
yes
Thx for your help/Andy

NoClassDefFoundError after adding third-party jars... need help

Hello SDN! I'm strongly need your help.
I'm developing a WD Java application which contains followed DCs:
AppDC is a Web Dynpro which contains application-depended views, controllers, runnable WD app.
ExporterDC is a Web Dynpro DC with no applications, this is helper DC for export table data into Excel and other formats
MainDC is a Web Dynpro DC with no applications, this is a basis DC. This DC contains some common useful views and controllers which used by AppDC
JavaDC is a Java DC (not J2EE Server Component) which contains my own common helper classes
LibsDC is a External Library DC which contains third-party jars used by apps
J2eeDC is a J2EE Server Component Library DC which is just a wrapper for LibsDC
These DCs has followed dependencies:
LibsDC is Used DC for J2eeDC (both assemble and compile types) with Build-time dependency
J2eeDC is Used DC for JavaDC (defLib) with Build-time and Run-time dependencies
JavaDC is Used DC for ExporterDC, MainDC and AppDC (both assemble and compile types) with Build-time dependency
ExporterDC is Used DC for MainDC (both assemble and compile types) with Build-time dependency
MainDC is Used DC for AppDC (both assemble and compile types) with Build-time dependency
Build perform without errors. I can deploy build results of J2eeDC, ExporterDC, MainDC and AppDC. But when I call my application I get NoClassDefFoundError at row of ExporterDC where is the first call of class from JavaDC which has reference to classes from third-aprty jars.
Please note that I'm not using third-party jars in WD DCs, these jars used only in JavaDC.
I've read quite many threads and blogs but I can't to find solution.
P.S. I'm working with NW 7.0 SP 14, all DCs are local.
Hell will be apriciated!
Regards, Lev

Hi!
Thank you for reply!
Here are few jars in Entities for assembly PP and compile PP in ExtLibrary DC. In "properties" tab property "type" has value "Archive" for every of jar in Entity.
About blog - this blog about situation when Web Dynpro DC use third-party jar. But in my situation Web DC uses Java DC, there is no references to jars in code of WD DC. Only Java DC references to jars.

Problems with the ActiveX bridge for Java beans when using third-party .jar

I encountered the following problem when using the ActiveX bridge for a java bean:
I am using JDK 1.4.2_09 and MS Visual Basic 6.0 (SP6). I wrote a java bean called ProcessViewer (my class ProcessViewer inherits from JComponent and implements the interfaces Serializable and AdjustmentListener) which I would like to use within a VB 6.0 application. I used the ActiveX bridge (packager.exe) to generate a DLL (ProcessViewer.dll) and registered it successfully. The java bean GUI-control works fine within my VB 6.0 application unless my java bean (ProcessViewer.jar) uses any third-party .jar files.
But when I tried to add a reference to some third-party class (com.sap.xxx.xxx....) I got some problems. I could solve the problem with packager.exe by setting the correct CLASSPATH. But at runtime my VB 6.0 application does not work. It crashes or it reports an error like this: "The control ... could not be loaded from axbridge.dll" (although I deployed my .jar file correctly to the directory C:\Programme\Java\j2re1.4.2_09\axbridge\bin and lib). Setting the CLASSPATH environment variable before calling my VB 6.0 application (exe) did not solve the problem.
How can I teach my VB 6.0 application (containing the Java bean ActiveX control) where to find the third-party .jar file? Copying the third-party .jar file to the JRE lib-folder or to the axbridge\lib folder did not solve the problem either.
I studied the documentation about the ActiveX bridge given at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/beans/axbridge/developerguide/index.html
but I am missing informations on how the third-party .jar files can be found during runtime of the ActiveX container (e. g. a VB 6.0 application).

How to include third party .jar files into my jar file

Hi,
how do i include a open source third party jar file into an executable jar?
i have a class called BlogBox.java and it uses org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient, i want to create an executable file, where do i put the .jar file containing FTPClient aka Apache Commons Net?
currently i'm getting the following error from when executing my BlogBox.jar

Any suggestions? i have searched google and this forum but could not find the solution to my problem, thanks
[edited msg] do i need to add the classpath at execution or something of the apache commons net library?

When you use an executable jar the normal class path
is ignored, but you can put a classpath inside the
jar. The usual trick is to place the library jar
files in a directory inside the application directory
and direct the manifest file to it. The manifest file
live in the jar inside the META-INF directory and
it's called manifest.mf
The two heavilly used entries are Main-class: and
Class-path: lines. Class-path just has a
comma-separated list of library paths.
The jar utility has a special option to load it up.Thanks :) I created a "/lib" directory, placed in the packages in there and redirected the Class-Path: lib/commons-net-1.4.1.jar
and it works,
thank you everyone :)

Using third party jars with Oracle Business Rules

Hi
I am working on Oracle AS 10g release 2.
We are using Oracle Business Rules in integration with Oracle BPEL.
While using third party jars however, Oracle Business Rules end is facing errors.

Can anybody help in figuring out where Jaxb jars(3rd party jars) are to be kept so that OAS access it?
We tried using the applib folder to load the jars but we are getting class loading errors.
When new instances are created, class loading is not happening.
Pls help.
Thanks

Are you using Application Server Release 3 or Release 2? There are different versions listed in your mail.
I think you probably want to add this as a shared library via EM and then import the shared library to your application with the application's xml config files.

Question about using third party jar files in Java Web Start Environment

Hi everybody, I got a very strange problem and still can't figer out how to solve it. Can anyone help to overcome this problem?? Thanks in advance.
Question: I wrote a simple java swing application to connect to Oracle database. I packed whole my classes and a third party jar file(classes12.jar) to a new jar file named "IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar" and then use command 'jarsigner' to signed IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar. There is no problem when I execute 'java -jar IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar' in the command line.

and file structures in "IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar" is
====================================
META-INF/
classes12.jar
DBAuthenticateDialog.class
DBConnection.class
IRMASSvrMgntGUI.class
====================================

If you directly include classes12.jar in IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar, the classloader won't be able to find the classes inside classes12.jar. You should sign classes12.jar separately and include that in jnlp along with your application specific jar. When you're launching your app using "java -jar somefile.jar" then the classpath settings in manifest file are used, but that's not the case when you start using JWS since in this case the classpath is based only on the " <jar href=..." entries in jnlp.

Deployment (Ejb and third party jars with portal app)

My problem is that I'm trying to set up the development env for a portal project.
I have an ejb and a third party jar in my portal app. My portlets have some java
classes associated with them. The ejb needs to reference(instantiate) the java
classes in the portlets.
Right now the only way I can get it to work is to put the ejb, third party jar
and the portlet classes(jarred up) into the classpath of the server.
I think there should be a way to deploy these things without putting them in the
class path. I've read all the manual sections about deploying.
Can anyone help me with this. It would be much appreciated.
Thanks

ADF mobile: How to pack a third party jars into apk

Hi Expert,
I am using Jdeveloper + ADF mobile 11.1.2.4 to develop an android application. In this application, I need to call some functions in the third party jar files. I need to add the third party jars into my apk so that those classes can be found during runtime.
I followed section 17.1.1.1 to add the libraries into my project. However, after I deployed my app to the emulator and tried to run it, it reported "encountered error: classes not found". And I also found that the third party jars don't exist in libs/ directory of the apk. Do you know how to solve the problem: How to reference a third party jar files in my app and make sure it works?
Thanks,
Yan

Accessing third party jars in Web Start. (Urgent)

hi!
I have developed an application using jbuilder which uses thirdparty jars, i specify the jars in the project properties & the application runs fine , I tried to deploy that application using Java web start ,i copied all the third party jars in the same directory as the jnlp file's directory.
my jnlp file has a tag-<jar href="accessor.jar" />
in the manifest file of accessor.jar-I specified :-Class-Path: a1.jar a2.jar...........an.jar
since the application access the local file system,
i gave <security> <all-permissions/> </security>
i signed all the jar files.
When i deploy the application i get the following exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: a1/StringData
StringData is a class in a1.jar.
thus my application cannot access "a1.jar"
How do i solve this problem?
Thanks
Sudhanshu

The following is the jnlp file:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost:8080/AccessorApp" href="A.jnlp">
<information>
<title>Acessor Application</title>
<vendor>abcd</vendor>
<homepage href="A.html" />
</information>
<resources>
<j2se version="1.3+" />
<jar href="accessor.jar" />
<jar href="a1.jar" />
</resources>
<security> <all-permissions/></security>
<application-desc main-class="accessor.DataAccess" />
</jnlp>
I hope Duck Creek Software -JNLP Wrapper solves this problem.

How to add new third party jars into JDev - quick question

Hi All
We have some additional jars needed to include for use with our current ADF application.
These jars are not for ADF components.
These jars are for API calls to other 3rd application.
We're using standalone weblogic to run our ADF app.
How do we include our 3rd party jars in JDev ?
Do we need to include new paths in standalone WLS to pick up these new 3rd party jars in order for our app to work ?
Thanks

You can add libraries to WLS classpath, but this is not good approach if you need to replace them later(because you must restart WLS to pick new version)
To include jars to ADF deployment, open Model or ViewController project properties and include path(s) in Project Source Paths->Java Source Paths.
Then edit your deployment profile (right click on application -> Application Properties... ->Deployment -> Your Deployment Profile), go to Application Assembly and mark these libraries(also, for each library you can specify target folder, for example "lib")

NoClassdefFoundError on the third-party jar's classes when building APK

I am building a native extension for Android.
For the android library, I create a android project and add several third-party jar files to build path.
I extract a jar file from a android project and merge it and third-party jar files into a single jar file.
I package ANE using a merged jar file and build a APK.
When I install a APK and launch it, NoClassdefFoundError on the third-party class occurs.
I use Flash Builder 4.6 and set sdk version to the Flex SDK 4.6.0 + AIR SDK 15.0.0.356.
I decompile APK and check the classes.dex.
Strangely a certain jar's classes are missing in the classes.dex.
I tried googling and found a similar case.
The following is the link :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24777394/noclassdeffounderror-on-thirdparty-class-files -when-building-adobe-native-extens
I try to follow the answer in this link.
Did dx.jar in the AIR SDK really strip out some classes of third-party jar file??
I inquired the java version of the third-party related with NoClassdefFoundError.
Now I am waiting for the reply.
Is anybody else know about this?

The android-support-v4.jar is same.
I check android-support-v4.jar's classes in ANE.
But they are missing in APK after release build.
I don't know why.
I use Flash Builder 4.6 and Flex SDK 4.6.0 + AIR SDK 15.0.0.356.
Is there anyone else know about this???

Eclipse third-party jar inclusion

I really should know how to do this but...
I'm using the Apache jakarta commons CLI package (org.apache.commons.cli)
I had assumed that
import org.apache.commons.cli.*;would work just like
import java.util.Iterator;In that once it compiled, I wouldn't need to worry about where the third party jar file was etc and could distribute my package freely.
Apparently I was mistaken:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/ParseException
How do I "include" the appropriate information in my .jar file so I don't have to worry about the environment in which the program is run?
java is still my lovely language

This program is a small part of a larger package, and
sits in the same directory as a bunch of other .jars,
each representing one program. It just seemed a little
bit messy to require multiple files for a single
program in this case.
I did review the links, thank you, and have since used
the class-path entry method with multiple .jars as a
workable solution. I'm just not happy with it.Typically when users install software, they run one of those InstallShield (or their competitors) installers. And they have no idea how many files are created or what it does. One file, ten files, a thousand files, they don't really care.
Right now it looks to me like you're wearing both the user hat and the installer hat here, and as a result not doing really well at either hat. You as the user shouldn't care if you have to install three or five files to run the program; to you as the installer it looks messy but compared to most real-life installs it's incredibly tidy. Don't worry about it.

During deployment include certain third party jars using deployment API.
