How to use external libraries in EP

Hi!
I am with dificulties in utilizing an external ".jar" file in a Portal application (JSPDynPage). The ".jar" file is the JSTL 1.0 version. It compiles and is exported correctly (SNDS to Portal), but give me an error at runtime (NullPointerException). There is any restrictions in utilizing external ".jar"s files, e.g., not especific/proprietary versions?
Regards,
Alex

hi,
You can place the external .jar files under dist/PORTAL-INF/lib . By placing the external jars it would certainly run
The other way is as follows
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 your project
11. Recompile
12. Deploy
Hope it helps..

How to use external libraries jar files in the composite application?

Hi,
I have some external jars files (which consists of java classes) that I would like to use in my composite application.
I have created a DC with type as external library for the jars. However, I don't know how to specify the DC to be used in my caf application.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi,
My jar files consists only java classes and a manifest.mf. The files are compiled using jdk 1.4.2-b28. Will this be any issue?
It seems that if I ignore the error and continue step 7 which is to do deployment of the ear, the error given is
Cannot update it.
Caused by: com.sap.engine.library.bytecode.cf.CFException: Invalid constant pool tag, 60 at index 41.
Does anyone know what that mean?
Is there any sample that teach how to deploy external libraries as bundled library?
Thanks.

How to use external libraries and JAR files with OpenScript

Hello.
I am trying to include ApachePOI, JODATime, and Javamail in my scripts to handle different aspects of our automated performance tests.
I followed the documentation for Eclipse to be allowed to utilize these external libraries, however, when I attempt to run my tests the classes and methods that are being imported, show up with errors saying that they do not exist.
I think perhaps that I am using them incorrectly. I cannot see them as script assets, package assets, or project assets using the properties for these items. An error pops up and says those screens are not displaying correctly or display incorrect information.
If anyone can provide guidance on using these items, that would be great. Right now I'm trying to include them as "previously exported scripts" but I'm not sure that method will work.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Tiff
For OpenScript 9.* there is an out of the box solution for that, all you need to do in OpenScript go to:
Script -> Script Properties -> Script Assets -> Add -> jar File ....
And that is it.

WDP classics: how to use external libraries in DCs

Hi,
I am also on 7.0 SP 13.
I used method in the following blog & its working for me:
/people/valery.silaev/blog/2005/09/14/a-bit-of-impractical-scripting-for-web-dynpro
Regards,
Apurva

Hi, I checked again to no use. I'm on NWDS 7.0.09
I had to do it the hard way, procedure follows.
Create external library as per blog.
Create two public parts (API and SDA).
build
Create J2EE library as per blog.
Add to used DCs both external lib's API_pp and SDA_pp: buildtime and runtime dependency - strong
build
ignore warnings such as: runtime dependency ignored
the .sda does not have any .jar inside
open the .sda in the file system path or directly from NWDS
add your .jar to the server directory inside the .sda
in server/provider.xml replace the line:
</jars>
with
<jars>
<jar-name>it.sap.mycustomer.myproject.jar</jar-name>
</jars>
do not build or you will lose your little tricky .sda editing
deploy from NWDS as usual
set WDP DC dependency as per blog (used DC + WDP references settings)
Hope this save some time to others...
If some one know how to do this without manual editing please let me know
Best regards
Vincenzo

Use external libraries in web dynpro java

Dear Experts,
I need to add an external library to my project.
Anyway, I do not know how to do it because it gives me many problems.
I tried modifying the classpath and placing it in the lib folder of the project from "Navigator".
Also project properties, add. jar outside, and throws me the following error:
[javac] Compiling 213 source files to D:\WORK\WORKSPACE\7.2.jdi\LocalDevelopment\t\2BF09F48E6D0E2C201262098A0E4D79F\classes
     [javac] ERROR: D:\WORK\WORKSPACE\7.2.jdi\LocalDevelopment\t\2BF09F48E6D0E2C201262098A0E4D79F\gen_wdp\packages\elsys\com\.....\wd\comp\....\MainView.java:34: package com.estaf does not exist
     [javac] ERROR: import com.estaf.jpay;
     [javac] ERROR:
Given these errors, I know my includes without problems and I can instantiate objects from library classes, but these errors I can not deploy.
I read the following link:
/people/raphael.vogel/blog/2008/05/05/how-to-use-external-libraries-in-the-sap-component-model-part-ii
I did everything the tutorial. I created the external library. I can see in my project "DC-Definition -> Used DCs" The public parts assembly and compilation. Now the problem is that it still does not recognize the classes of the libraries you want to use.
A level of code, when I try to instantiate the class does not recognize me. What could be missing? I did a couple of times step by step and gives me the same results.
I use SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio SAP NetWeaver 7.2 SP03 PAT0007 version.
Infinitely appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

Using external libraries in Web Dynpro DCs

Hi,
I've followed the example in the following blog for using external libraries in my Web Dynpro (WD) DCs:
/people/valery.silaev/blog/2005/09/14/a-bit-of-impractical-scripting-for-web-dynpro and some other messages in the forums. However, it isn't working exactly as described in the blog. I have to twist it a bit to get it work. I were wondering if anyone has any better solution for this problem?
The senario is like this:
- External libraries: a.jar, b.jar
- WD DCs: wd1, wd2 in that wd1 and wd2 are both using external libraries a.jar and b.jar; wd1 is a library DC that can be reused in wd2.
According to the example in the blog, the following steps are carried out:
- Step 1. Create an external library DC, add a.jar and b.jar to public part "ExternalLibs" as described in the blog.
- Step 2: Create, build, deploy J2EE Server / Library DC. (Add reference to the public part of the external library DC as a used DC, with both Build-time and Run-time dependency).
- Step 3: Create WD DC wd1, add used DCs and WD reference libraries as described in the blog. Add WD components as public part. Build and deploy WD DC wd1.
All are ok so far!
- Step 4: Create WD DC wd2, add used DCs and WD reference libraries as before. Try to build and FAIL!
The error occurs here because wd2 cannot access to the classes in the external libraries, similar to the problems described in thread Re: Problems with deploying a JAR file.
I've found a workaround, although quite tedious and cumbersom, but it works. My solution so far is:
- Round 1: Perform those 4 steps above, but in step 1, after adding the jars to the public part "ExternalLibs", set the property of the public part "purpose" to "compilation", then build and deploy all other DCs accordingly.
- Round 2: Change the public part "ExternalLibs" property to "assembly", then bulid and deploy all other DCs again.
And now I can reuse the external libraries in my WD DCs as well as WD DCs as library in other WD DCs.
I know it's not an elegant solution. So I were wondering if the experts out there can help me with better solutions?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Van

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 jars in NW2004

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,
Siddharth

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

Using external libraries with Developer Studio 7.1 Composition Environment

Hi,
I downloaded DS 7.1 CE and tried to develop a simple application which uses an external library.
I created a development component for "external library" for the local development -> MyComponent, giving it the name "test2" (for the domain basis).
I imported the external library file using Import -> File System , then selecting the .jar file.
In the component properties browser I added a public part naming it "mylib2" setting the purpose to "ASSEMBLY" (my intention was that the libarry will be transferred during the deployment to the application server).
I right clicked on the public part to "managed entities". I selected the archive tree and checked the library file shown there (the one I imported before). #
Then I opended component properties of my web dynpro project and clicked on "Dependencies". The I chose "Add..." and selected the "test2" development component I created before (see above).
Then I tried to deploy the project (which uses this external library) using "Deploy Archive and Run"
After deployment the browser window opens and shows the ClassNotFoundException
So what did I oversee or do wrong?
BTW: Is it necessary for using external libraries to use a full fletched NWDI? Or can I use external libs also with netweaver development environments freely available for download on sdn.sap.com?
Any hints?
Thanks a lot
Hannes

Hannes,
If you want to use external libraries with DCs then you should follow the NWDI completely.
Check this step, otheways of using external libraries is mentioned <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/de813e77d46245e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">here.</a>

Using external libraries in DS 5.2 plugins

Hello,
I'm writing a moderately complicated preoperation plugin for Directory Server 5.2, and I've linked in glib 2.0 so I can use some of its data structures. Aside from some memory leaks I'm tracking down, things look okay, and the plugin behaves as expected.
Are there any reasons why I should avoid using external libraries in the directory server? I know that SLAPI has its own memory management code that glib isn't using, but I don't think that's the reason I have the leaks.
Thanks!
-lars

Plug-in library code runs inside the memory space of the server process, so it can be nice to have the memory management from the API.
Also if you have things coming in from all over the place, maybe there's a higher security risk, since there are more places where somebody could replace a dynamic library and do bad things when you load that code.
I don't recall us putting anything in the docs that said you should make a special effort to avoid doing linking out to external libraries. (If it's there, I don't see it with a quick google search.)

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.
Regards
