Where to put Third Party Jars in an .ear file

Where to put Third Party Jar files in an .ear file so that they can be packaged along with the entire application and thus bypass the trouble of putting the third party .jars inside the application server lib directory and set the class path.

Just put them in the root of your EAR. You can specify them in the classpath of your EJB JAR's manifest.

Where to put third-party jar files

ok i've made some classes that i use to filter file types for when the user needs to open a file, but i've just been putting the classes used for filtering in the project i'm working on and i was wondering where i would put a jar file that contains those classes so that i could include them in programs. for example like you include java.awt.

Create a Jar from those classes and place it in the lib/ext folder of your JRE.

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 include third party .jar files into my jar file

Hi,
how do i include a open source third party jar file into an executable jar?
i have a class called BlogBox.java and it uses org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient, i want to create an executable file, where do i put the .jar file containing FTPClient aka Apache Commons Net?
currently i'm getting the following error from when executing my BlogBox.jar
C:\MyJava\BlogBox>java -jar BlogBox.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/net/ftp/FTPClient
at blogbox.BlogBox.<init>(BlogBox.java:27)
at blogbox.BlogBox.main(BlogBox.java:103)
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 :)

Third Party Jars

Hi folks,
Just wondering if anyone has used any third party jars in conjunction
with your applications. If so where do U put it....I tried putting in the
lib directory as well as a startup class, but my application just doesn't
pick it up. Anyone has any ideas ? Thanks for the help
Len

Hi Lennard,
You have to put all these jars in the iAS classpath. To do that open
kregedit, then,
Application Server-> 6.0->java->classpath.
Add the full path of the 3rd party jars here and rerun the application.
Please get back, if it helped you or if you have any questions further.
Thanks,

Best way to make a jar with third party jars

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
if b is better should i :
b1) link to them to another jnlp file, like this :
<extension name ....
or
b2) just put them as resources
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...
for solution b i think i will have to sign all the jars... right ?
Thx for your help

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 :

system. if i use solution a from above, do i have

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

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).

Using third party jars with Oracle Business Rules

Hi
I am working on Oracle AS 10g release 2.
We are using Oracle Business Rules in integration with Oracle BPEL.
While using third party jars however, Oracle Business Rules end is facing errors.
Error during unmarshallingProvider com.sun.xml.bind.ContextFactory_1_0_1 not found

Can anybody help in figuring out where Jaxb jars(3rd party jars) are to be kept so that OAS access it?
We tried using the applib folder to load the jars but we are getting class loading errors.
When new instances are created, class loading is not happening.
Pls help.
Thanks

Are you using Application Server Release 3 or Release 2? There are different versions listed in your mail.
I think you probably want to add this as a shared library via EM and then import the shared library to your application with the application's xml config files.

The code from my program is as follows:
String connectionDriver = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/passport?user=root&password="
Class.forName(connectionDriver); // Load database driverYet I am getting "ClassNotFoundException" as if the program cannot find
the third party jars.
Obviously I am missing something?
rykk

Thanks I now have it working.
With your suggestion I added a "jar href"
for each of the third party jars.
It does seem rather stupid to have to do this
as the manifest already has the required information
in it.

Deployment (Ejb and third party jars with portal app)

My problem is that I'm trying to set up the development env for a portal project.
I have an ejb and a third party jar in my portal app. My portlets have some java
classes associated with them. The ejb needs to reference(instantiate) the java
classes in the portlets.
Right now the only way I can get it to work is to put the ejb, third party jar
and the portlet classes(jarred up) into the classpath of the server.
I think there should be a way to deploy these things without putting them in the
class path. I've read all the manual sections about deploying.
Can anyone help me with this. It would be much appreciated.
Thanks

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.
