Third-Party libs in deployment archive

Hello!
I have a question - is it possible to add the third-party libs in .zip format in APP-INF/lib directory of my "ear" ? As far as I can see, WebLogic does not recognize it to be a java class archive.
Thanks

Hi,
If this is an issue of having the class files inside a zip or a jar file, then just rename the .zip to .jar, as a jar file is just a zip with a different extension.
If this is about a limitation on WL, then AFAICT, there is nothing in the standard that mandates that a zip file should be treated as a jar file from the ClassLoader point of view (but just when loading classes, not when looking for resources.)

PI 2.1, exclude third party device from config archive

Hi,
Customer runs PI 2.1. He has also third party devices in the PI inventory.
Now, every time the configuration archive job is running, this third party devices are failing. Which is the normal behavior. Is it possible to set,for example a filter, to exclude this devices from the configuration archive job?
thank you very much for your help
Hansruedi

Hi Hansruedi,
we have to manually exclude them from Config collection::
Operate >Device Work Center > Configuration Archives ,
Check the check box for "Name" , this will select all the devices then unselect the one you DON't want to get archived .
click on " scheduled Archive" and scheduled it as per your need (hourly , weekly ...etc..)
Thanks-
Afroz

OSB - Third Party JCA Adapter Deployment

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if OSB 11 supports third party JCA adapter besides Oracle JCA adapter.
If it does, I would like to know how I can generate wsdl and jca files for the thrid party adapter in order to deploy it to OSB. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
K.Hein

The JCA transport of OSB works in conjunction with a built-in JCA adapter framework and JCA-compliant adapters to interact with EIS systems. You may need to develope a custom transport (similar to JCA transport in OSB), to use your custom/third party JCA adapters with it.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15866/part_tsdk.htm#sthref962
Better option would be to raise an ER with support and if product development approves the same then a new feature can be introduced in OSB to support third party JCA adapters as part of existing JCA transport/as part of a new transport.

Anuj

How to add third-party libs to Java WAS for my Webdynpro DC?

Hello all,
Here is my scenario:
I have some thrid-party libs(some jars) which is necessary to my Webdynpro application. It is ok to add these files in the webdynpro project's classpath. But because these jars are missing on my server, somy webdynpro app not works.
Could anyone give me some proposal for this kind of problem? How to add these jars to the J2EE server and access them in the webdynpro project?
Thanks and Best regards
Deyang

Hi Deyang,
Also add these jars in the <b>lib</b> folder of your WebDynpro application. Open the application in the <b>Navigator mode</b> and there under the folder structure you will find the lib folder. Copy and paste these required jars in this folder as well.
See this pic:
<a href="http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4614/jars9jq.jpg">Put jar files in Lib Folder</a>
This will solve your problem.

During deployment include certain third party jars using deployment API.

I am trying to deploy using the weblogic deployment API ( Weblogic 10.0) and want to include certain external jars during the deployment process. I have found that one way is to provide in the setWLSenv.bat but I cannot include the external jars that are runtime specific.
In websphere we can pass the classess as a parameter (-cp) to the WAS Deploy tool (ejbdeploy) but need to find how to do it in Weblogic 10.0
Edited by: user10643013 on Nov 23, 2008 10:40 AM

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.

Confusion about third-party-libraries in different versions in CE 71.

Hi
After some research on the use of different versions of third-party-libraries in SAP netweaver CE 7.1, I am actually quite confused and would be happy if someone could shed a light on that subject....
1. Is there a way to tell netweaver CE 7.1 to use a library in my WEB-INFlib-folder by simple configuration?
E.g. we would like to use a third-party-lib in a newer version than the one which is loaded by CE 7.1. Many application server provide a simple configuration option (e.g inside META-INFapplication.xml) where the web as can be forced to use the library inside WEB-INFlib for this application.
2.Is the concept of "heavy loading" described in a blog by Georgi Danov(Using Hibernate in SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment) the answer to question 1.?
Does it also work for other third-party-libraries than hibernate? Does it work at all?
3. In the blog mentioned in question 2, Mr. Danov is talking about "shared libraries". Does this mean, that I have to forget everything about "bundled" and "standard" libraries explained in help.sap.com/CE, if I want to create a heavy loader?
He is referencing another blog (Applications and shared libraries) which is two years old? Can I still apply the information there to CE?
4. Are "Bundled libraries" applicable when using different versions of third-party-libraries in CE 7.1?
In "Working with libraries" (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/f4e00e56ec0486e10000000a155369/frameset.htm) it says:
"Bundled libraries: These provide resources only to a single enterprise application, and are packed inside the application's EAR file."
=>As I want to provide the lib only to my enterprise application, I will probably have to create a bundled library, right? Does this also work if netweaver CE 7.1 uses a different version of the same library?
5. Do I need Netweaver Developer Studio for creating "bundled" libraries?
Or can I copy the binaries in the WEB-INFlib-folder of my application, deploy it and use it?
6. Is configuration of application-j2ee-engine.xml the right place to reference a third-party-library in a specific version which exists in WEB-INF/lib-folder in my application even if it exists also in another version on netweaver?
=> In the document "Troubleshooting: Finding Missing Parent-Child Relations" it says: "To implement the chain of parent-child relations in the deployment descriptor of the component, use either application-j2ee-engine.xml (for applications) or provider.xml (for libraries and services)."
=> "Creating standard libraries" (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/f447a8d62b0484e10000000a155369/frameset.htm9 tells me, that I have to configure the file application-j2ee-engine.xml, too.
=> But in "Working with libraries" (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/f4e00e56ec0486e10000000a155369/frameset.htm) it says:
"Standard libraries: These provide resources to all enterprise applications deployed on the server. They are packed in EAR files like the enterprise applications."
=> Does this mean, that I have to force Netweaver CE 7.1 to use a higher version of a certain third-party-library? Does this even work? Do all applications deployed on Netweaver 7.1 have to use this library in the higher version?
It is really confusing to read through the documentation!!! Sorry for that avalanche of questions, but I really hope it will make the issue of using libraries (especially if they exist in different versions on the CE 7.1) a little clearer!
Best regards
Bettina

Hi Bettina,
I'll try to answer your questions:

First of all, the appropriate docs are here: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/f4e00e56ec0486e10000000a155369/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/f4e00e56ec0486e10000000a155369/frameset.htm].
Basically what you do is define a lib project in the studio and deploy it do the server. This may be less comfortable then just configuring manually, therefore it work better in larger environments because the server checks that libs are available in all running instances - which it could not do if you manipulate diretories manually (an approach you should never attempt in any SAP envrionment)

If Georgi describes it, I hope so, as he is one of our developers who knows best.

"shared" are all of theses libs, as otherwise they would be specific to an application.

This was about anearly version of CE and even Georgi updated the blog this year to talk about slight differences. So yes, this still applies.

That depends... Your application uses it's own classloader which means it should only use your libs in case there is another version available on the server. But if you're trying to deploy a lib that is used by a service of the server (int that case loaded by the server not your classloader!) I'm not so sure.

You need the Studio. No way around that. [Edit:] Sorry, misunderstood you here: I thought you want to copy something into the deployed directory on the server! - Of course, any deployment method would do it and though copying binaries seems to be valid. However, I'm checking this currently with development in detail.

Deploying a third party API in a J2EE application.

Hi there
I have a small J2EE applicaion made up of EJBs, servlets and JSPs
packaged and deployed as an EAR file in WebLogic 6.1.
I'd like to make use of a third-party API (that is packaged as a JAR
file) from the servlet and EJB components within the application, but
am a little confused as to where to place the JAR file.
I've tried placing it in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the WAR file,
the servlets found the library successfully but the EJB components
threw ClassNotFoundExceptions.
I've tried placing it in the EAR file at the same level as the WAR and
EJB JAR file, ie:
App.EAR
/application.xml
/EJB.JAR
/WEB.WAR
/LIB.JAR
but then the servlets were unable to find it.
Finally, I tried placing one copy in the WEB-INF\lib and one copy as
described above in the EAR file, but still - the EJBs were unable to
find the library.
Unfortunately, the API needs to be configured on a per-application
basis, so placing a reference to the JAR file in the CLASSPATH when
starting WebLogic is not an option.
Any one encountered or solved this kind of problem before ?
Kind regards
Eea

Hi Eea,
There are many articles in the Internet talking about
packaging of j2ee compenents, for example:
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/06/26/ejb.html
And, you may try to put your 3rd party API into weblogic
classpath in your startserver command file...

Deploying third party EJB 3.0 jar in web application

I have a web application which calls services provided by EJB 3.0 beans packaged in third party jar. How do a configure the web application project to deploy the beans to the embedded OC4J container when I run the application? The jar file is reference by the project, and I have a META-INF/application.xml referencing those jar files as EJB modules. I've set the EJB Version property to 3.0, but the Annotated EJB 3.0 Bean Classes list remains empty, presumably because I have no beans defined in the sources of the application. When running the project, the oc4j container warns that the EJB module contains no beans. I'd like to deploy the beans in the jar file, but can't figure out how.
Thanks,
Steve

I don't think this technique will work. I added a META-INF/ejb-jar.xml file to the application, and added a <session> section for one of the EJB 3.0 beans from my third party jar. I specified values for <ejb-name>, <ejb-class>, and <session-type> hoping the rest of the configuration would be determined from the annotations in the class. When the server starts, this warning message is displayed:

EJB 3.0 beans are not required to define business interfaces, as they are supposed to be generated by the container.

How to Deploy the third party EJB 3.0 jar in web application

I have a web application which calls services provided by EJB 3.0 beans packaged in third party jar. How do a configure the ViewController project to deploy the beans to the weblogic server when I run the application rather than deploy the EJB ear as a stand application to the server?
The jar file has already referenced by the project. In the "EJB Module" of project properties I've set the EJB Version property to 3.0, but the Annotated EJB 3.0 Bean Classes list remains empty, presumably because I have no beans defined in the sources of the application. When running the project the EJB jar did not deploy automatically. Is there something wrong? How can I achive this goal?

Where is the right path to deploy third party DLL? "Support Files"?

Hi, After Effetcs developers:-)
Here is question about install path of DLL for After Effects plug-in.
I'm developing Effects plug-in run with CUDA, so I have to deploy third party DLL to client PC.
So where is the right path to put DLL such as cudart32_30_14.dll?
I think it's under "Support Files", because my plug-in runs with cudart32_30_14.dll
in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files"
Am I right?

well... that depends.
when you rely on an external library, the external dll is expected to be somewhere along the path, as it appears in the command prompt.
places like win32, and sxs folders are in that path.
you could also put the support dll in the same folder as your plug-in. any process automatically includes it's own directory in the search path.
if you don't want to put it in any of these pre-set locations, then you have to program the path into the dll loading function.
if you choose to do that, you can put the support dll anywhere you like.

Installing third party drivers not in instr.lib

Hi,
(LabVIEW 2013 SP1)
We are using LabVIEW to develop on multiple stations and we use source code control application to control the version and compatibility of the VI's.
We are using many third party (not NI) instruments and we "install" their drivers at -
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013\instr.lib
This creates some difficulties since this folder is external with respect to the SCC application so this resource is not version controlled, whether someone downloads a different version or one add/changes another feature.
It will be easier also to copy the development folder from one computer to the other.
1. Is it possible to change the default behavior of LabVIEW Environment to load drivers to the Intrument Drivers palette?
2. What do you recommend ?
Amitai.

There are a few options here for you.
1. Just put the drivers in your project folder and edit them to look at their new location instead of instr.lib. That should be just a matter of loading them and resolving the conflicts.
2. Use VIPM to make packages of the drivers and then everybody can install the packages. This way they know what version is getting installed.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Third party AU audio units disappear after archive and install

hey everybody.
so after an forced unfortunate archive and install, my third party AU have disappeared from DP and Logic. they run fine in standalone. how can i get them back into logic?

Move them back from your old archive, or reinstall.
When you do an archive and install, your old system gets removed and a new fresh system put in place. If you had plugins in the system components directories, obviously they aren't gonna be there on a new fresh system.

Deploying Common-utilities and Third-party Classes

In your documentation you state that several jar-libraries (containing
utilities, third-party classes, jdbc-drivers and also I suppose classes for
custom realms) needs to added to the Java system classpath.
This probably also means that they will not be distributed from the
administration server to the managed servers as applications does. Since
most non-trivial applications include startups, custom realms and so forth
it renders the distribution feature (ie. from admin server to managed
server) virtually useless. Installs needs to be made on all nodes anyway.
One example on a solution for this is to distribute these jar-libraries to
the new node-manager which then starts up the server with these jar-files on
the classpath?
Also one could include the startup and shutdown-classes in a
weblogic-specific enterprise application deployment-descriptor so that these
are run in the same classloader as the enterprise application. Most
non-trivial startups probably needs to run in this classloader anyway. (If
they for example access ejbs etc.)
An alternative implementation would be to specify a servlet with a
load-on-startup, but I'm not sure at what time the servlet will be loaded.
Is this a recommended strategy for startup-classes that needs to run in the
application classloader?
