Deploying jar files along with my application

Hi
My application uses the Apache Batik classes to do some converting of SVG files. The Batik classes recides in 20 jar files, which I've loaded as libraried in Netbeans and when I run my project in Netbeans all works great. But if I build by project and try to use it in a different java application, I get the error:
Exception in thread 'main' java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/fop/svg/PDFTranscoder
I've tried everything: to include all the jar files in my own jar file ... to use a manifest file ... to deploy my application as a single class file instead of a jar and so on. But nothing helps.
Any ideas?

Hi
Already tried that. If I'm not distributing my application as a jar file, but rather as a single class file, how would I do then? I mean, there would be no manifest file at all.

External Jar files packaged with the Application Jar.

Hello Friends,
I have a Java class 'Config.java' with a package a.b.c
This class requires a third party Jar 'new.jar'. I place this Jar file in the parent directory of the package.
So I can compile the Config.java with classpath as '.'
This works fine.
Now while packaging them, I create a mymanifest.mf file with following contents
Main-Class: a.b.c.Config
Class-Path: . new.jar
and issue the command
jar -cvmf mymanifest.mf myjar.jar *
This creates a jar file with appropriate manifest information and heirarchy (since the included third party jar is in the same directory)
When I run the Jar by issuing the command
java -jar myjar.jar
It gives me an error, NoClassDefFound for a class inside the included third party jar.
I have gone through some of the other queries posted in this forum and through Sun's articles for creating Jar files.
I have taken care of all the minute things involved in writing the manifest file, etc.
I dont understand why such a simple application gives me a problem.
Am I still missing something ?
Regards,
Ravi

I had the same problem. But I solve it.. The thing that you have to do is:
create another directory in your project application directory let's say your project directory is Project. such as Project / lib.
then put external jars in lib directory.
The last thing you have to do :
change your manifest file like that
Main-Class : mainclass
Class-Path : lib/externaljar1.jar lib/externaljar2.jar
I don't know you ever deal with manifest files before but there can be very stupid errors while you create .
i.e there should be a space between ":" and mainclass name you shoul use "/" not "\" etc.
I think it will work for you.

Error in deploying .jar file from JDeveloper 10.1.3.5

Hello,
I want to deploy .jar file in a machine, instead of having to install JDeveloper to run the application (it contains: Web Services and Data Base).
I have followed the following steps in JDeveloper to create the .jar file:
1) Right click over the project: New... --> General (All Technologies option selected) --> Deployment Profiles --> JAR File
2) I have selected "Include Manifest File" option specifying the application's main class
3) In JAR Deployment Profile Properties window: File Groups --> Project Output --> Contributors are selected: "Project Output Directory" and "Project Dependencies"
4) With the previous steps, JDeveloper generates a .deploy file. It is created in Resources folder. From this folder, I have selected the .deploy file and right click and I have selected "Deploy to JAR file"
The .jar is created succesfully. In this point, I try to execute with the command:
java -jar NAME_OF_THE_DIRECTORY_WHERE_THE FILEIS_DEPLOYED\NameFile.jar
and I have the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/rpc/ServiceFactory
at project.proxy.AccountClient.<init><AccountClient.java>
at project.proxy.AccountClient.main<init><AccountClient.java>
The Manifest File content is:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.3.5.0
Main-Class: project.proxy.AccountClient
I have tested with differents variables to create the .jar file, but always the error is the same. And I haven't found information to solve it. For this reason, I appreciate any help.
Thank you and regards.

If you are just building a client that access a Web service you need a JAR and not a WAR.
Ok!
One thing to try is look at the command line that JDeveloper uses to run your client (it's in the log window) - specifically look at the classpath used.
Then try and run the same thing from a command line and see if it works.
Nowadays, the application is running with a .BAT file, it contains the statement released from the JDeveloper console, and it is working perfectlly.
I try to do the same from a command line, and it works too.
Assuming it is - you can either use that, or you'll need to make sure that your JAR includes all the mentioned jars that were in the class path - this is done through the library type file group.
To create the .JAR file I have choosen the following options (JAR Deployment Profile Properties):
1) Include Manifest File --> I have selected the class that contains the main class (from the Browse option)
2) I left the default File Groups (Project Output) --> it has: Project Output Directory + Project Dependencies
3) As you said me, I have created a new File Group (type: Libraries) --> and here, I have selected all the possible Contributors. These match those specified in the project (Oracle XML Parser v2, J2EE, JAX-RPC Client, Commons Logging 1.0.3, Ojdbc14.jar).
4) Deployment to JAR File successfully.
The resulting MANIFEST.MF is:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.3.5.0
Main-Class: project.proxy.Execution
It hasn't definied "Class-Path", althought to especified a new File Group with the libraries... Is it an error?
If I extract the .JAR file, I see all libraries, and I have two folders: one with .class files of my project and other one is META-INF with MANIFEST.MF file.
5) From command line I executed:
C:\jdevstudio10135\jdk\bin > java -jar C:\jdevstudio10135\jdev\mywork\project\project\deploy\NameFile.jar
And the result is an error:
Exception in thread "main": java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/rpc/ServiceFactory
I think the error is because it can not find the library ServiceFactory, but it is especified inside JAX-RPC Client library. What is wrong?
*6)* I have tried too to insert in "JAR Deployment Profile Properties" (in JAR options) an additional Manifest File to merge into MANIFEST.MF, to include "Class-Path" with all libraries's project (the same JAR from the statement released from the JDeveloper console), but I think that it is a limit, because if I insert all libraries the "Class-Path" doesn't inserted in MANIFEST.MF. The maxim is:
Class-Path: C:\jdevstudio10135\jdev\mywork\project\project\classes C:\jdevstudio10135\lib\xmlparserv2.jar C:\jdevstudio10135\lib\xml.jar C:\jdevstudio10135\j2ee\home\lib\activation.jar C:\jdevstudio10135\j2ee\home\lib\ejb.jar C:\jdevstudio10135\j2ee\home\lib\jms.jar C:\jdevstudio10135\j2ee\home\lib\jta.jar C:\jdevstudio10135\j2ee\home\lib\mail.jar C:\jdevstudio10135\j2ee\home\lib\servlet.jar C:\jdevstudio10135\webservices\lib\jaxrpc-api.jar
The following libraries afther the previous one aren't allowed to include because I think that is exceeding the maximum size.
I have tested to create various MANIFEST.MF with different PATHs libraries, but it isn't work to include in the MANIFEST.MF file all libraries...
(C:\jdevstudio10135\webservices\lib\wsclient.jar

With this .MF file (or including only "C:\jdevstudio10135\jdev\mywork\project\project\classes") I have solved the other problem (not found the libraries), but it still not working, the error is a little different:
Exception in thread "main": java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: project/proxy/Execution
The path where the main class is: C:\jdevstudio10135\jdev\mywork\project\project\classes\project\proxy\Execution.class
I have tried to insert directlly the following paths in "Main Class" option of "Include Manifest File":
C:\jdevstudio10135\jdev\mywork\project\project\classes\project\proxy\Execution
C:\\jdevstudio10135\\jdev\\mywork\\project\\project\\classes\\project\\proxy\\Execution
And with these values, the error is the same: Exception in thread "main": java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
I am not sure if the error is a bug of JDeveloper 10.1.3.5 or it is something that I don't correctly. Any idea?
Thank you again and regards.

Hot deployment not playing along with coherence-tx.rar

I would like to setup my application so that the coherence and tangosol jars are owned by the application. Under this setup it will aid in hot deployment so that the coherence classloader is destroyed along with the application. Using the transaction services requires that I put the tangosol and coherence jars on the boot classpath of weblogic. I could live with this if there is an easy way to tell coherence to clear all caches that I can call from a startup servlet when my application redeploys.
     Is there some other way of setting this up so that hot deployments destroy all caches and coherence-tx.rar can still be utilized?

In a development environment where classes can change structure it is more semantically correct to destroy all references to the old class structure otherwise you get IncompatibleClassChangeErrors.
     It is also more convenient for us to deploy the application without any external references. It makes setting up a QA server much easier, for example, if we don't have to install coherence and modify classpaths to get it up.
     There is nothing special about the architecture just a standard EAR deployment with all 3rdparty classes packaged into the EAR.

How to deploy jar file into oc4j

Hi,
I am new to jdeveloper.
I deployed a application as .ear file by creating new coneection from the Connection navigator which is having web, ejbs amd client progrms. I dont have any problem with that.
But for my feature modification on my ejbs or client programs, i want to deploy only its related jar file in the existing application in the server. But when i try to do the same, the client module or ejb module is deploying as new .ear file in to the server insterd of .jar file.
How to overcome this in jdeveloper?
Thanfully,
Satish KC.

I consider complete EAR deployment as a feature, because you can build self-contained versions, archive them and redeploy them in case of support situations.
However, if you like to develop in incrementally you can run, test, show your complete application within JDeveloper. No extra deployment is necessary for that.

Deploying Jar file in Tomcat 4.1

Any guys knoe how to deploy jar files in tomcat4.1.
i know that it should be in the "install_dir/WEB-INF/lib" folder.
but after i develop an applcaiton using packages and zip it to a jar file how do i deploy it?

You want it in a WAR file, not a JAR file - i.e. a zip file just like a JAR file but with a .war extension and the following path structure:
./WEB-INF/classes
./WEB-INF/lib
./WEB-INF/web.xml
Where your JARs go in the lib directory, plain classes in their package structure under the classes directory and your JSPs, HTML etc anywhere you like other than WEB-INF.
Then you just put the WAR in Tomcat/webapps.

There are 6 pages of images and text, and it

Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them. You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

Hi XI Gurus,
   im working on adapter development. we have created jar file in NWDS.
   now going ahead to deploy into XI server through SDM.
   can we deploy jar files directly into xiserver through SDM. or it needs to convert to any other formate like EAR, SDA. then how would i convert to SDA.
i any have clear idea on this... pls throw the ways how to convert........
           JAR File to EAR format
           JAR file to SDA format
           EAR file to SDA format
   can any one explain the procedure step by step how to convert jar file into deployment archive file in order to succesfully into XI server.
          thanks i advance. points will be rewarded.

Hi Rajesh,
JAR file in itself in not deployable.
So v need to envelop this jar file into an EAR file and then v deploy this EAR file on SDM.
Creating Jar

Import WSDL file along with XSD

Hi,
I have a WSDL file which has complex Data types (abc.wsdl). This complex data types are defined in the XSD file (abc-data.xsd).
If I just import WSDL file in ED I am unable to find the Complex Data types in Message Mapping.
How can I use the XSD file along with the WSDL file? Is there any source path as to give or what?
Could you please help me out?

first i will tell how my wsdl file is defined
<xs:element name="authInfo" type="<b>xx:AuthInfo</b>">                                   <xs:annotation>                              <xs:documentation xml:lang="en">                                   Authentication information                         </xs:documentation>                    </xs:annotation>                              </xs:element>
and in my xsd file for xx:AuthInfo
<xs:complexType name="AuthInfo">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:element name="acctName" type="tns:CustName">

To Import XSD file along with WSDL file in ED

Dear All,
I am doing a scenario web service1 XIRFCweb service2. Web service1 sends request to XI and XI sends to RFC and RFC response to web service2 and web service2 response (acknowledge) back to XI and XI sends back to web service1.
My client (web service2) has given me the web service (WSDL) file along with XSD file.
In the wsdl file there are number of elements and complex types.
<xs:element name="GetCustomer">
     <xs:complexType>
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:element name="authentication" type="xx:AuthInfo"/>
               <xs:element name="CompanyName" type=" xx:AuthInfo "/>
          </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
The type (xx:AuthInfo and xx:AuthInfo) are defined in XSD file.
My questions are
1)     Do I have to import the XSD file in ED or not.
2)     How do I map this XSD
3)     As WS1, RFC and WS2 all are synchronous MT do I have to use BPM for it.
4)     Can some one help with any docs please..
Thanks in advance

Hi,
>>Do I have to import the XSD file in ED or not
If you are having the wSDL files then you can take the structure from there itself. Just import the wsdl files in IR. You can also use XSD.
>>How do I map this XSD
XSD are same as Message Types. So create a MM and choose your XSD.
>>As WS1, RFC and WS2 all are synchronous MT do I have to use BPM for it.
Yes you have to because you are taking the responce from RFC and going to give it to WS2.
BPM steps:
1) receive (open sync bridge)
2) transformation 1
3) send (snyc)
4)transformation 2
3) send (close sync bridge)

FM to down load the spool to excel file along with the deliminator

hi all,
this is regarding a downloading of spool to a excel file along with a deliminator.
Can any one suggest a function module which downloads spool to excel file with a deliminator in a proper way.

Hi ram,
You can try using the BAPI_XBP_JOB_SPOOLLIST_READ_20 - to get the list from spool and then do the required formatting. You can use can use the function module mentioned in the other reply to download it into excel file.

Deploying an application with existing library as jar file created with ANT

Hello All,
I am having some trouble with a web application I am deploying to Tomcat. I have an custom library that works perfectly as a jar file included in the lib directory if I include all the jars that that library depends on into the lib directory also. What I would like to do is bundle the required jar files into my libraries jar file, but it failes to work when I do that.
Any thoughts? Does Tomcat prevent this?
I am using ANT to create my jar file, but when I look at the contents of my jar file it includes all the requested directories.
My build.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<project name="myapp" basedir="." default="jar">
<property name="classes.dir" value="./classes"/>
<property name="jar.dir" value="."/>
<property name="java_lib.dir" value="../../../../../Program Files/Java/lib"/>
<target name="jar">
<jar destfile="${jar.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar">
<fileset dir="classes"/>
<fileset dir="${java_lib.dir}" includes="jai_codec.jar.jar"/>
<fileset dir="${java_lib.dir}" includes="xercesImpl.jar"/>
<fileset dir="${java_lib.dir}" includes="mysql-connector-java-3.1.8-bin.jar"/>
<fileset dir="${java_lib.dir}" includes="xmlParserAPIs.jar"/>
<fileset dir="${java_lib.dir}" includes="mlibwrapper_jai.jar"/>
<fileset dir="${java_lib.dir}" includes="xml-apis.jar"/>
<fileset dir="${java_lib.dir}" includes="jai_core.jar"/>
</jar>
</target>
<target name="run" depends="jar">
<java jar="${jar.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar" fork="true"/>
</target>
<target name="clean-build" depends="jar"/>
<target name="main" depends="run"/>
</project>
Like I said...it includes these jar files in my jar file, but will not function properly with my tomcat app. If I exclude these jar files and include them seperately then everything works.
NOTE: I do not access any of these libraries directly from any servlets, only from my classes.
Thanks,
J-Rod

This probably isn't posted on the correct forum. This JVM forum is for discussing issues related to running java in an Oracle database using the OJVM, Oracle's embedded java VM. Possibly you are trying to use OJVM through JDEV but that isn't clear from your post and I don't believe that the error you are reporting would occur in that case. If it did or if you are in fact trying to run client java via JDEV the problem would be a JDEV rather than OJVM issue and so the JDEV forum,
JDeveloper and ADF
is the correct one to use.

EJB 3.0: deployment/jar file generation issue

We have a web application project (ADF Faces) which depends on a model project (EJB 3.0 session/entity beans) that implements both business and persistence layers. This EJB project points to a utility jar file containing some classes we have built. When we run the web project from inside JDev, everything works perfectly, with no error. However, when generating EAR file (deploying web project to WAR) we experience an issue.
As expected, JDev generated the war file for the web app, the jar file for the EJB and finally the EAR file containing both war and jar files. After that, we managed to deploy the ear file to our OAS 10.1.3 test instance (not standalone OC4J) and an error occured. The error is due to the fact JDev did not create the /lib subdirectory inside ejb project jar file /META-INF directory with our utility jar file inside.
We tried to generate a separated jar file for the ejb project alone with the same results.
Is this an IDE bug which does not pack the application as it should? What could we be doing wrong? If yes, is there a work-around? Like I said, the application runs fine on embedded server. Also, when the EJB application does not depend on external libraries, the deployment to OAS 10.1.3 works perfectly. We have tested it!
Could anyone help us?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Gustavo
PS: Sorry for my English. :)

Hi Shay! I follow what you said and it worked. However, we had to manually edit MANIFEST file for the EJB jar in order to add classpath clause to map our util jar. IMHO, JDev should do it for us. Anyway, we were able to deploy the app successfully.
Best Regards,
Gustavo
