Accessing utility classes from ebj

I have a session bean trying to access a utility class in the lib directory (same
directory as weblogic.jar). I have packaged it into a jar file and set the classpath
pointing to the file in the startWeblogic.cmd file. I compiled and depolyed the session
bean and it runs fine until it starts to access the class. I got NoClassFoundException.
I have tried to shut down and restart the server without any success. Anyone can
help me this this?
I know I can package the utility into the same jar as my ejb. But I don't want to
do it because it is going to be everywhere. What is the right way of doing it?
Thanks in advance.

Rob,
You are right.
Thanks a lot.

Either you have a typo and the class is not in the classpath. You can prove
this by running
javap on the class using the same classpath as your startWebLogic script.
Or, as I suggested in the last response, it's not really standalone. The
jar probably has a
dependence on some classes in the ejb.jar.

It is a standalone generic jar which has some classes in it. The ejb justcan't find
it.
I have a simple java program which uses it and it runs fine.
Thanks.

Referencing utility classes from a war file

How do you reference a utility class from a war file? I tried adding the class to the deployment plan descriptor, however I still get a ClassNotFoundException.
Thanks,
Will

To use the utility classes from a war you have to place them under the web-inf/classes directory.
webApplication(WAR directory)--->WEB-INF--> classes (put your utility classes in this directory)

Accessing IFS classes from Weblogic

Can I access the classes of IFS from within Weblogic by adding the IFS jars to the Classpath of Weblogic?
Also how does EJBs work with IFS?
Kaustuva Mukherjee

I'm doing exactly the same thing that you are asking. first install ifs client on weblogic server, so that all ifs jar files are on weblogic. then do this in the weblogic class path file:
REM ------------------ IFS CLASSPATH ------------------------
SET IFS_CLASSPATH=d:\Oracle\Ora81\ifs1.1\lib\adk.jar;d:\Oracle\Ora81\ifs1.1\lib\clientlib.jar;d:\Oracle\Ora81\ifs1.1\lib\cmdlineutils.jar;d:\Oracle\Ora81\ifs1.1\lib\cup.jar;d:\Oracle\O ra81\ifs1.1\lib\http.jar;d:\Oracle\Ora81\ifs1.1\lib\oemadmin.jar;d:\Oracle\Ora81\ifs1.1\lib\release.jar;d:\Oracle\Ora81\ifs1.1\lib\repos.jar;d:\Oracle\Ora81\ifs1.1\lib\utils.jar;d: \Oracle\Ora81\ifs1.1\lib\webui.jar;d:\Oracle\Ora81\ifs1.1\settings
and include IFS_CLASSPATH in your weblogic path.
restart weblogic and u'll have all ifs classes for your use.

Class not Found when accessing Proxy class from backing bean in VC.

Hi All,
I'm attempting to access a class of a webservice(generated as a proxy) within my ADF application and invoke the method within a backing bean of the View Controller(bean scope : backing bean). The proxy has generated an ObjectFactory class among other classes. When I access this Object factory class from within the backing bean, the application throws a Class not found error.
I don't know where the error lies since I've declared the View Controller of the ADF application dependent on the Proxy and I've imported the class and accessing it within a backing bean. How would you suggest I approach resolveing this.
JDev : 1.1.1.4
Thank you.
Regards
PP.

Hello Arun,
Thank you for suggesting a Data control, but my requirement isn't to drag and drop the method as a button. It's more of a behind the scnes updating data via a database adapter requirement.
I've resolved the issue. turns out, my deployment archive didn't include the proxy.jpr. Once included it works likea charm.
Thanks
PP.

Accessing custom classes from JSP

Hi Guys,
I am having some problems accessing my custom classes from my JSP.
1) I've created a very simple class, SimpleCountingBean that just has accessors for an int. The class is in the package "SimpleCountingBean". I compiled this class locally on my laptop and uploaded the *.class file to my ISP.
2) I've checked my classpath and yes, the file "SimpleCountingBean/SimpleCountingBean.class" is located off of one of the directories listed in the classpath.
3) When I attempt to use this class in my JSP, via the following import statement:
import "SimpleCountingBean.*"
I get the following compile error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: SimpleCountingBean/SimpleCountingBean
I'm pretty sure that my classpath is properly setup because when I purposely garble the import statement, I get the "package not found" compile error.
Do I need to upload some other files in addition to the class file? Any suggestions would of course be appreciated.
Sonny.

Trying to get some clearer view.. so don't mind..
So you uploaded all your .jsp files into your account which is:
home/sonny
and it compiles and work. But custom classes doesn't seems to be working, where did you place your classes?
From my knowledge of tomcat, classes are normally placed in, in this case:
home/sonny/web-inf/classes
Maybe it differs from windows enviroment to *nix enviroment.. well, I'm just saying out so if its not the case.. don't mind me.

EJBs accessing protected classes from java classloader

Hello,
We are facing a problem with classes isolation. I read from this newsgroup that
to access a package level class from the base classloader from a bean, the supporting
classes has to be from the same classloader as the bean. Well I think the only
way we could do that is to have the *Bean.class in the base classloader, which
is not what's recommended or move the support classes into the bean's classloader,
which we cannot do.
The purpose of this mail is to ask: is it a bug from weblogic server? Will it
be fixed one day? If not, does it mean that it is impossible to isolate classes
for local access from public classes?
Thank you, Khiet.

Thank you for your reply.
Hope that one day we will not be obliged to have anything in the main classpath.
:) Khiet.

Accessing Java Classes from Webservice Stubs

So far I have been able to call a web service and copy the appropriate directories and files to the designated class path. I can also successfully access a class file like this:
MyObject = CreateObject("java", "ca.x.y.z.TestCollection.TestItem");
However, whenever I try to do something with that variable, I get a white screen. Any text that should have appeared before the command, will appear, but nothing appears afterwards, not even debugging info. Here are a couple of commands that will cause this to happen.
<cfdump var = "#MyObject#">
MyObject = CreateObject("java", "ca.x.y.z.TestCollection.TestItem").init();
x = MyObject.init();
Anybody have any ideas?

Ah, nothing like a fresh set of eyes to remind of the fundamentals. Thank you for that.
I actually could create a normal error by calling a method incorrectly. I would see the grey box and my debgging info would appear. However, if I did something I expected to succeed, it would seem to stop. Any text above that command would appear. No error message, no de-bugging.
But I didn't think to look in our error log. I see things like:
Could not initialize class com.microsoft.schemas._2003._10.Serialization.Arrays.ArrayOfstring
or
org.apache.axis.description.TypeDesc.(Ljava/lang/Class;Z)V
At least it's not a mystery anymore. Thanks again for suggesting the error log.

Accessing java classes from javascript

Hi,
I have the following javascript function
function testjava {
    var myString = new java.lang.String("Hello world"); // line 1
    alert("len:"+myString.length()); // line 2
}It gives me a error at line 1 saying "'java' is undefined" in IE browser 5.5 sp2. But, both the lines execute correctly in netscape 6.
Can someone please help..
Thanks,
Vijay.

It seems that IE 5.5 doesn't support accessing java classes in JavaScript, so try to install IE 6 to see if it works or maybe, you doesn't have installed propertly support for JVM in IE.

Accessing a class from a loaded SWF

In Flash Professional, I drew a shape, converted it to symbol, linked it to class Symbol1 (extends MovieClip) which is generated at run-time, and saved the SWF file as shape.swf.
Now my main application wants to load shape.swf and create multiple instances of Symbol1 but I get ReferenceError when trying to access the class Symbol1.
Below is my main application's code. Errors thrown are mentioned in comments.
public class MovieClipTest extends Sprite
    public function MovieClipTest()
        var url:String = 'shapes.swf';
        var l:Loader = new Loader();
        l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, f);
        l.load(new URLRequest(url), new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain));
    private function f(event:Event):void
        var content:Sprite = (event.currentTarget as LoaderInfo).content as Sprite;
        trace(getQualifiedClassName(content.getChildAt(0))); // output: Symbol1
        trace(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.getDefinition('Symbol1')); // throws Error #1065: Variable Symbol1 is not defined.
        trace(getDefinitionByName('Symbol1')); // throws Error #1065: Variable Symbol1 is not defined.

Your "Symbol" is obviously not in the current ApplicationDomain, but in the loaded SWF's domain:
var symbolClass:Class = event.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("Symbol") as Class;
var symbolInstance:MovieClip = new symbolClass() as MovieClip;
Also because you're loading a SWF, the content of the Loader is a MovieClip, not a Sprite.

Access parent class from instance of nested class

Hi,
I have the following class hierarchy:
public class BaseClass
public class ParentClass
private NestedClass    mNestedClass;
public ParentClass()
    mNestedClass = new NestedClass();
protected NestedClass getNestedClass()
    return mNestedClass;
public static BaseClass createParentClass()
    parentClass = new ParentClass();
    // some code...
    return parentClass.getNestedClass();
protected class NestedClass extends BaseClass
    NestedClass( int i )
      // some other code...
}I cannot modify the classes above, as they are third-party and they are subject to changes...
In my code, I may only use the static method to create an instance of ParentClass, because there is some important code (not accessible outside of the package) instead of the comments. The problem is that the static method only returns me an instance of the NestedClass, but not the ParentClass. For some reasons, I would need to access the instance of ParentClass.
Is there a way (Java syntax, I mean) that would allow me to access from an instance of NestedClass the corresponding ParentClass instance?
I know that inside a NestedClass method I may use ParentClass.this, but, as I wrote above, that class cannot be modified. Worse, I am not able to extend it neither, because the constructor is not public (or at least protected)...
Please, does anybody have the correct answer?
Thanks,
Adrian

There are at least 3 funny things in the code you posted:
1) an instance of NestedClass cannot be created with "new NestedClass()", because the only constructor is NestedClass(int)
2) I can't see why a method called "createParentClass" should return an instance of NestedClass
3) The funniest: I really can't understand why you "may only use the static method to create an instance of ParentClass": if the ParentClass developer didn't want you to instantiate it directly, why did he made the constructor public?
But the fact is there's no way to access the enclosing object of a nested object if the sw architect didn't want this (maybe including in the interface a method like this:
class EnclosingClass {
class NestedClass {
   EnclosingClass getEnclosingObject() {
    return EnclosingClass.this;
This simply should break encapsulation and object hyerarchy security... really a bad thing I guess!!

Accessing war classes from ejb-jar

Hi,
I've a.ear with b.war and c.jar. c.jar contains ejbs.
I've some classes in b.war which i need to access from the ejbs.
How may I achieve it? what do i need to configure in the app server or the ejb deployment descriptor?
tx in adv
Kejal

are you absolute sure that the needed jar / class is
in the classpath?Yes, there is no question about that. Because I can run the same app (unjarred version) with a command such as
java MyApp
without specifying classpath explicitly. And I also double checked that the postgresql.jar is listed in the CLASSPATH of my Windows box.
Is the Class.forName the line where the ClassNotFound
Exception is thrown?Yes, I caught the exception exactly at that line.
I use the same for cloudscape�
Object driver =
Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver").newInstance
();and it works fine!Probably your app is not a jarred one, or is it?
By the way, I have written JDBC codes hundreds of times, each time without any trouble. This is my first time I happened to run a JDBC app as an executable jar. And it failed. So I guess there must be other ways to load the class in this case.

"Best practice" for accessing a class from a custom component?

My app utilizes a simple class to hold global properties such as username, session data, and similar data. The class is initialized at app startup via code similar to: appGlobals:myGlobals=new myGlobals.
Many of the custom MXML components and AS classes need to access that data. I have been able to work with it using Application.application.appGlobals.propertyname.
Is this method the best way to communicate from components and classes to a class initiated at the application level, or should I learn something new before I build a lot of code on this method?
Thanks.

The WizardModel class is interesting, it is a "singleton" where it is designed to only have one instance, and the class actually has a static variable of its own class. Because that variable is static, an instance is created the first time the class is accessed.
As to where the WizardModel is "first accessed" and thus its own variable of type WizardModel instantiated, is hard to say, as you really need to understand the application and component startup lifecycle indepth. I have a certain depth of knowledge of that but not enough depth to say definitively when WizardModel is first accessed, but here are some possibilities:
WizardModel.wizardTitle = WizardModel.wizardTitleBase; In the WizardController "wizardTitleChangeHandler" event handler
creationComplete="WizardModel.app = this;" In the Wizard.mxml main app creationComplete handler
<mx:Panel title="{WizardModel.wizardTitle}" width="100%" height="100%"> Opening tag of Panel in Wizard.mxml
I know its confusing, but just try to absorb what you can for now, and over time it will become gradually more clear.

Composition in java : how to access super-class from sub-class

I have 3 classes related by composition
class A{
B b = new B();
class B{
List<C> cList = new ArrayList<C>();
in class C{
getSample(){
//Try to access class A
how can I access A from class C ?
Any help is appreciated!

well, 'Id' is known only to class A, and class C has a getSample() which is called in class A.
class A{
B b = new B();
getID(){
return id;
b.getC().getSample();
class B{
List<C> cList = new ArrayList<C>();
class C{
getSample(){
if() {
//pick up value from properties file
// format the value and parameter substitute it with 'Id' from A
The design does seem a little weird, but I guess this is the only way to do this considering the other constraints we have ....
TIA
