Hello Experts,
can i use the same approach mentioned in the below Weblog for using the external jars in NW2004.
/people/bertram.ganz/blog/2008/11/24/how-to-use-external-jar-files-in-web-dynpro-development-components
and if not then what will be the best way to achieve it in NW2004.
Please provide your inputs on above.
Regards,

Hi Sidharth,
If you are using web dynpro DC perspective then you need to follow the following points to use the external jar files in it.
1. Create a external library project.
2. copy the external jars in the library folder os the projects.
3.) Select all the jars from the u201CLibrariesu201D folder, Right click and then select Development Component and click on Add to Public Part
4.Select the first Radio Button (Provides an API)and give some nameto it.
5. Repeat the step no 3 but now select the second radio button other than as selected in step no 4.
6. Now build your lirary DC.
7. Now create a j2ee DC project.
8. ) Expand the node DC Definition and Right Click on Used DC. Select Add Used DC.
9. Select the External Library DC with build time dependency.
10.Right click on the J2EE DC and then select Development Component followed by Build
11. Right click on the J2EE DC and then select Development Component followed by Deploy
now you can use both the libary DC and the j2ee DC in your web dynpro DC as used DC.
But if you have created a web dynpro project only(but not DC) than you can directly add the external jars in java build path
hope this will help
regards
Narendra

How to use external JARs in Eclipse

Hello.
I created a jar file like that:
jar -cvf0 WarShell.jar WarShell.class
I want to use WarShell.class in Eclipse but it not in my classpath,so I choose [Project] -> [Properties] -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add External JARs and add WarShell.jar to the list.
But when I run the program I got a Exception:NoClassDefFoundError.
Why?How to fix it?
Another question... Your classpath is not available in Eclipse,right?
Thanks for your time! ^_^

Why?How to fix it?Did you run your program from Eclipse ?
If yes, it should work (or seek for an Eclipse-specific forum.)
But if not, keep in mind that your project settings are limited to Eclipse. You'll have to define a correct classpath for running your application.
Another question... Your classpath is not available
in Eclipse,right?Mine? I don't think it is available for anyone ;-P

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.

Problem using external jars in my java component

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to ask how to properly reference an external jar to a java dc. I already have an external library dc which contains my external jars and also compilation and assembly public parts, a j2ee library which has the assembly public part of the external jars that is deployed to the server, a java dc which has the compilation public part of the external jar.
My problem is whenever I trigger a method of the java dc in my webdynpro dc I'm having an exception. weird thing is when I put the whole method from the java dc to the webdnypro dc it functions well. So I'm thinking if the interaction between my java dc and j2ee lib dc has to do with this maybe I'm missing some configuration.
need your insight on this one.
Thanks,

How to use external Java API in Java Embedd inside BPEL

How to use external classes inside the BPEL in Java Embed Activity ? Any sample code availble ? Like i want to use log4j API inside BPEL.

No you dont have to change your startManagedServer.cmd/.sh everytime you need to have a Java Embedding activity. You only need it in case of using Log4J. As log4j requires a configuration xml viz log4j.debug.xml and log4j.dtd you need to let the soa managed server know about it. The best way to load this configuration files is using the JAVA_OPTIONS command during server startup.
Hope the explanation helps.

How to use External Tables

Hi, I want to know how to use external tables? The procedure i follow for SQL*Loader in my shell script is:
Call the sqlldr
Check return code
If return code = 2. get count of records from bad file and exit.
If return code != 0 and != 2 then exit as fatal error
If return code = 0 then continue.
But i don't understand how to use external table as it is not invoked and does not have a return code.

Hello,
What do you mean alogrithim, do you mean to invoke external table as you invoke sqlldr? You can generate external table script from sqlldr and use it to load data but you might have to modify the table name and datafile name . You can see if any bad file generated from sqlldr and if yes then you can generate external table (using sqlldr) or based on your bad file. May be if you can list what exactly you want in bullet points, then it will be easier to suggest you.

How to include external jars - URGENT...

Hi:
I am using Eclipse for development.
My application uses some external jars.
This step is simple in Eclipse, one simply indicates where the jars are to the IDE.
However, when I make an executable JAR file from my project, those external JARs are not included.
So when I run my program, everything is fine until the parts that uses the external JARs.
Does anyone know how to include them outside of Eclipse platform?
I am going to see my client in an hour and of course I can't bring my source and install an Eclipse at my client's computer to show them my demo...
please help... thanx...

You add those external jars to the classpath or the jars classpath if you're running the program from a jar. Or put the external jar to JAVA_HOME\lib\ext (IIRC)

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.

Shiv
