How to package third party jars into an ejb application?

Hello everyone, thanks for reading...
Does anybody can give me any hints or directions on how to include inside my .ear or .jar all the dependencies of all my EJBs?
I need to deploy inside my ejb.jar or application.ear all the dependencies. The thing it's that I have a services-ejb.jar and it depends on several jars: services-api.jar, services-util.jar, ws-client.jar, etc.
I read somewhere that these jars should be inside the META-INF/lib directory inside the ejb-jar. Is this correct?
I deploy to Oracle Application Server and I'm using EJB 3.0.
Thanks in advice.

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.

1) Sounds like you are trying to launch the third party from it's application main instead of using it as an API How does your code interact with it or is that not important?. You don't call a jar, you load a class. You could use a exec http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html to run the java launcher and pass it all it's command line stuff(But this may not be possible security wise via WebStart).
2) if it is launched in the same JVM and it calls a System.exit there is nothing you can do about your app closing too. It would need to be in another instance of the JVM
3) Under the resources tag you can have as many jar tags as needed.
    <resources>
        <j2se version="1.5.0" java-vm-args="-esa -Xnoclassgc"/>
        <jar href="/jsf-wita/apps/MathMLWebEditor.jar"/>
    </resources>

How to add third-party jar in CRM ISA application?

Hello SDN!
I need to add third-party jar in CRM ISA application. I know how to add such jars in common case and for local DCs. But for CRM I can't determine which DC should contain this third-party jar.
Please tell me ASAP which DC (e.g. crm/isa/home/ext) I should use.
Help will be appreciated.
Regards, Lev.

Hi,
To add third party jar you need to create new DC which contain your third party Jar. Once you have new DC with your Jar file you can add as Used DC in required DC.
Please refer [Using External Libraries for Development with NWDI|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/46/3ce3e4df201d63e10000000a11466f/content.htm] for more infromation to create DC with Jar File.

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

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

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 :)

How to package 3rd party libs into EAR

Netweaver 7.0, WEBAS 640:
I have an EAR I am deploying containing an EJB and a webapp. I have third party jars that I need to use from both the EJB and webapp, and so want to just package in as part of the EAR. I do not want to fuss with deploying the third party jars separately, nor do I want to duplicate them into the EJB and WAR separately...
I have the jars in the root of my EAR project, and have the build path set up in NWDS for the EJB and WAR so that the jars are referenced, so I'm ok at build time...
...but I'm getting NoClassDefFound exceptions for the classes in the 3rd party apps when I go to run them.
What do I have to do in my EJB and WAR projects to be able to see the third party jars in the EAR at runtime?

Hi,
<module>
    <java>
      <uri>abc.jar</uri>
    </web>
</module>
Try putting this in application.xml.
The best option for such type of problem is creating a APP-INF folder under the root.
Sample structure:
ear
      APP-INF
           classes   -- put all class files and properties files
           lib           -- put all jar files
    war
    ejb-jar
Try with this structures. Put all the jar files under APP-INF/lib folder, and the application class loader will pull all the classes and properties from classes and lib folder.
NOTE: I am not sure this folder is recognised in EP server. Weblogic recognises this folder.
Try this once.
In EP server the recommendation is to create j2ee library projects and refer them in the project descriptor files. By specifying thus the server will load them in the application class loader.

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")

How to install third party fonts into Photoshop CS6 cloud?

Hi, in need of assistance. My previous version of PhotoShop was CS5, and I have my photography logos created using the font "chisel thin". Now that I have a new macbook pro laptop and am also now using the cloud version of PhotoShop CS6, when I open my saved logos on the cloud, it does not recognize the font "chisel thin"? So, is there a way to download the "chisel thin" font so it is available for me to use on the cloud? If so, how do I go about doing it? I'm not super tech savy, so clear, exact detailed instructions on how to download / update the "chisel thin" font would be very much appreciated!
Thanks for your help,
Mike (McDermott Photography)

Thank you Jeff.
Welcome to the forum McDermottPhotography,
You will need to download and install the ttf (true type font again) on your new machine. I am not sure if the following is the font that you are referring to, but here is one named similiarly http://www.fontpalace.com/font-details/Chisel+Thin+Normal/.

How to use third party package in java application

hi, i am a student , new to java world can any of u tell me how to import third party package in our java application.
i want to know how CLI is done in java.
i am going thru this link http://www.codezoo.com/pub/component/5574
not able to get anything.
please please help me

There are two steps -
1. Import the classes you need from the package(s) using the Java import statement in your classes that need access to them.
2. include the 3rd part code (one or more .jar files and/or root directories holding the code's package tree and .class files) to your javac and java class path and optionaly to the class path found in your .jar's manifest file.

Packaging a third party jar

Hi,
I need to package a third party jar and export as a jar File using eclipse 3.1? Can you please explain step by step in brief.
Thanks,

The normal way is simply not to do that, but to have the JAR added to the Class-Path entry in the manifest. How Eclipse does that, no friggin' clue. Read the manual.

Unable to access classes in third party jar files packaged with my ejb.jar

I have packaged some third party jar files in my xxx_ejb.jar file. The third party jar file contains classes that are accessed by some custom classes which are in turn accessed by my bean classes. I get the following error when my custom classes attempt to use any of the classes in one of the third party jar files:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/Ostermiller/util/CSVParser
Shouldn't I be able to access classes in jar files that are packaged with my xxx_ejb.jar file? I see the xxx_ejb.jar file as a resource of the application classloader that contains it but I don't see the third party jar files.

As per the Java EE specification, additional JAR files should be packaged on the EAR level. Only WAR files' WEB-INF/lib folder is scanned for JAR files to be added to the classloader.

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).

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
