Loadjava + BI Publisher API's

Question

Hi my name is Ike Wiggins. I'm exploring loading the BI Publisher API's as jar file. The end result is that my TestConfiguration class is still invalid.......It's driving me nuckin futs :-). If anyone has any idea's or suggestions or would like me to repeat step let me know. This is my last shot before I give up! I know there has to something I missing. Also, can anyone tell me what table or sys view has a record of the resource objects?
FYI: I verified the file will compile and run with javac.
First Try:+
bash-3.2$ dropjava -u scott/tiger bipublisher/jp/TestConfiguration
bash-3.2$ loadjava -force -resolve -user scott/tiger -verbose bipublisher/jp/TestConfiguration.java
arguments: '-user' 'scott/***' '-force' *'-resolve'* '-verbose' 'bipublisher/jp/TestConfiguration.java'
creating : source bipublisher/jp/TestConfiguration
loading : source bipublisher/jp/TestConfiguration
resolving: source bipublisher/jp/TestConfiguration
errors : source bipublisher/jp/TestConfiguration
ORA-29535: source requires recompilation
bipublisher/jp/TestConfiguration:11: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class DataProcessor
location: package dataengine
import oracle.apps.xdo.dataengine.DataProcessor;
^
bipublisher/jp/TestConfiguration:91: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class DataProcessor
location: class bipublisher.jp.TestConfiguration
DataProcessor dataProcessor = new DataProcessor();
^
bipublisher/jp/TestConfiguration:91: cannot resolve symbol

location: class bipublisher.jp.TestConfiguration
DataProcessor dataProcessor = new DataProcessor();

Answer 1

The Oracle JVM requires that all classes that are needed be loaded into the database unless a specific resolver spec is used. If the resolver spec (* -) is specified, then unresolved classes are silently ignored but will cause runtime or compile time errors if referenced.
If the required classes are not present then the class will remain invalid until all the classes it references are loaded, etc.
If you want the classes in a specific jar to be seen then do not use -jarasresource. This just makes the jar a resource and it will not be used for any resolution for other classes.
You will need to load all the classes that are referenced by your test code as well as any classes that they may reference. There is a tool, ojvmtc which can define the list of classes. When they are loaded, either in a jar or separately then your class should compile or load and be valid.
We do not load xdo classes as default. Try using your second try first without the -jarasresource and then your first try second. Issues may still arise with the xdo jar if it requires other apps classes to be loaded.
