Deploying external jar files in CE 7.1

Hi All,
I am using CE 7.1 SP01 NWDS to develop my applications.
Now I want deploy one external jar files to J2ee engine.
I know how to do the same in NWDS 2004s. But here the steps seems to be little bit different.
I referred the following blog for doing this in CE 7.1
/people/raphael.vogel/blog/2008/05/05/how-to-use-external-libraries-in-the-sap-component-model-part-ii
But, still I am getting Classnotfound exception, when i try to use the jar file in dc applications. There, I posted some queries, but I didnt get any solution.
Can any one help me on this please.
Thanks,
Fahad Hamsa

Hi Fahad,
I am facing the same problem, but am not able to get the solution.
I am following the below steps..
1) Created a Webdynpro DC - "testProj" to which i need to add the external library DC.
2) Created a DC of type "External Library" called "externaljar"
3)Added Public Parts of type assembly and compilation to the "externaljar" DC (Component Properties Tab -> Public Parts)
4) Right click on the assembly Public Part name -> Manage entities, and added the JAR files as archive.
5)Right click on the compilation Public Part name -> Manage entities, and added the JAR files as archive.
6)Go to Webdynpro DC "testProj" .
Under Component Properties Tab -> Dependencies tab -> Add -> selected the "externaljar" DC -> Next -> for "externaljar" DC checked Deploy time and Run time.
For assembly Public Part and compilation Public Part "build" is selected by default.
7) I did build of both the DC's and deployed it.
Im getting "Class not found" error.
Please let me know where i am going wrong.
Thanks,
Shilpa.

Deploying external jar files to the server

Hi,
How can I deploy the external jar files belonging to a simple webdynpro project(no DC) so that it is also available durng the runtime.
I have no direct access to the WAS server and I am looking for means to deploy directly from NWDS.
Regards,
Meesum

hi meesum,
There is no direct things to do that. All u need to do is keep the jar files into the lib folder of webdynpro project and also add it from the build-path/classpath by right clicking the project.
1. Go to navigation perspective
2. get into the project\lib folder of the your project. copy the jar files into it
4. right click on the project
5. click on properties
6. click on java build path
7. go to libraries tab
8. click on Add Jars button
9. select the jar in you r project
10. click ok
11. recompile
12. deploy
Hope you got what you want...

How do I deploy an external JAR file

Hello,
How do I deploy an external JAR file?
I am grateful for every hint.

Hi Manuel,
If you read my blog mentioned in the beginning of the thread, you will note that such solution is not supported in our engine due to number of reasons.
Please, read the blog and use application library shared among these two applications. You will achieve the same effect. Please note that the using application will need run and deploy-time dependencies to the shared library.
You should not add files to any of the folders manually or manipulate engine's classpath in such situations.

Adding External Jar files

Hello,
I have successfully created and deployed a portal application project (par file) that required adding as an external jar the file com.sap.portal.usermanagementapi.jar. Now I am re-doing the project as a development component in NWDI and I can add the external jar file fine and the source code shows no errors. However as soon as I build the DC I get a source error that says the import to com.sap.ip.portal.service.ume.IUserManagementEngine can not be resolved. If I go back to the java build path the usermanagementapi.jar is no longer there.
Do I have to handle the adding of external jar files in a different way for a DC as opposed to a par project?
Thanks,
Bert

Deploy external jar to WAS 6.40

Hi all,
I'm trying to deploy an external jar file (classes12.jar - an oracle jar). I've followed the instructions on 'defining libraries' found on sdn -http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ee/6ede3f7bc1eb06e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
But I cannot access the deployed project/jar, although I do see its definition using the visual administrator.
Any help would be appreciated,
Aviad

Hi Aviad,
You have deployed these Library files using Library project.
And i guess, you are accessing these library files from your webdynpro application.
If yes, then goto properties and there choose webdynpro references.
Here, choose library references tab, and make entry of your library project like this:
sap.com/<library project name>
If your are using these Jar files in J2ee application then make entry in your application-j2ee-enjine.xml file under J2ee Application project.

Bhavik

Hello Raktim
com.sap.security.api should be available within NWDS plugins and should work fine if you add sap-jee DC as used dc.
For external jars check this link
[http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Java/Externaljarfileerrorand+Solution]
works fine in netwever 7.01 .

Hi Olivier,
you could try the following approach:
1. Package your JAR files as J2EE Engine libraries and deploy them on it as described here: <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/2ade3fc6c6ec06e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">Working with J2EE Libraries</a>.
2. Set reference to this library from the application that use them. Depending on your application, refer to the appropriate documentation:
-- reference from a J2EE app -> see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/15/d5d93fe80fed06e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">Referencing Libraries in Applications</a>
-- reference from a portal app -> see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/02/788540ae1dbb4de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">Referencing Elements</a>
Hope that helps!

How to call external jar files in EJB project for CE

Hi,
I would be thankful if someone could help me with this -
I need to call the external jar files into my EJB project - Here is what I have done and am getting runtime exception as -
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/glance/pdf/pt/PTDoc
1. Created a EJB project" HelloWorld " using Java perspective in NWDS 7.1 called with client as HelloWorldClient and EAR project as HelloWorldEAR.
2. Am working on HelloWorld project (1st one).
3. In my code I am instantiating a class which is a class in one of the external jar file that I need to refer in my project.
4. I have set the Java Build path but it works only for the compile time and fails during runtime.
5. Have read I need to create external library DC and refer in my project "HelloWorld".
Can anyone help me with exact steps what needs to be done - during creation of external library project and then for my "HelloWorld" EJB project. How would I be able to reference or set the external library project in my EJB project?
Looking forward to hear from experts.
Thanks,
Shiv

Hi Edson,
I tried it , but it still gives me runtime exception.
javax.ejb.EJBException: nested exception is: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/glance/pdf/pt/PTDoc
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/glance/pdf/pt/PTDoc
Steps I performed are -
1. Created a library project and created 2 Public parts "Compilation" and "Assembly"
2. Build the library project.
Now in my EJB project using Project Explorer - set the classpath and added both compilation jar and assembly jar files.
This is how the classpath entries for external library looks like -
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="/LocalDevelopmentLocalDevelopmentexternallibrarypdftoolsforwatermarkingdemo.sap.com/gen/default/public/WatermarkAssembly/lib/java/demo.sap.comexternallibrarypdftoolsforwatermarking~WatermarkAssembly.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="/LocalDevelopmentLocalDevelopmentexternallibrarypdftoolsforwatermarkingdemo.sap.com/gen/default/public/WatermarkCompilation/lib/java/demo.sap.comexternallibrarypdftoolsforwatermarking~WatermarkCompilation.jar"/>
I have also added the jar files I used in my external library project as "User Library" from Java Build Path . I dont do it , then the code fails during compilation itself.

How to use external jar files ??

Hi all,
In my user-defined function for mapping (IR) , I want to make use a Class which is available in an external .jar file.
Our XI is working on Windows2003 OS. I set the classpath in OS environment variables.
But it is not working.
Where I should set the classpath ?
Can anyone help.
Thanks in Advance

Message was edited by: Chemmanz

Hi Chemmanz,
For user defined functions, it is not necessary to use the external jar files.
Just follow the below steps:
       1.      To create a new user-defined function, choose <b>Create New Function</b> in the data-flow editor at the bottom of the screen, on the left-hand side.
       2.      Specify the attributes of the new function in the subsequent window:
Name:
Technical name of the function. The name is displayed in the function chooser and on the data-flow object.
Description:
Description of how the function is used.
Arguments:
In this table, you specify the number of input values the function can process, and name them. All functions are of type String.
       3.      In the subsequent window, you can create Java source code:
                            a.      You can import Java packages to your methods from the Imports input field, by specifying them separated by a comma or semi-colon:
You do not need to import the packages java.lang., java.util., java.io., and java.lang.reflect. since all message mappings require these packages and therefore import them.
In addition to the standard packages, you can also specify Java packages that you have imported as archives and that are located in the same, or in an underlying software component version as the message mapping.
                            b.      Create your Java source text in the editor window or copy source text from another editor.
       4.      Confirm with Save and Close.
       5.      User-defined functions are limited to the message mapping in which you created the function. To save the new function, save the message mapping.
       6.      To test the function, use the test environment.
The new function is now visible in the User-Defined function category. When you select this category, a corresponding button is displayed in the function chooser pushbutton bar. To edit, delete, or add the function to the data-flow editor, choose the arrow next to the button and select from the list box displayed.

Prasad U

Need help with classpath configuration for external jar files

We have coded our own JAAS login module, and it uses classes located in jar files, and these jar files were not created using SAP dev studio, e.g. they were provided by a third party vendor as a set of tools.
So, how do we deploy these jar files so that our SAP JAAS login module can find them ? We found we can run consoleconfig.sh to change the classpath which SAP J2EE engine uses, but we wondered if there was a better way to do this. Of course, if the jar files were created by us, we can include them in the dev studio project and they would be deployed using SDM, and this would not require any changes to classpath using consoleconfig.sh
Thankyou in advance for your help.

I noticed nobody has sent any feedback on this yet, so I wondered if I have posted to the wrong forum ? Any thoughts on this ?
Thanks,
Tim
