Using utility jars inside ear archive

chrisdutz Nov 15, 2004 5:53 AM

I am developing a quite complex application and have run into the folowing problem.

For example I am using eXist as xml-database. I created a MBean for starting the databases at deployment time. For this I have a jar-file containing eXist and a sar-file containing the MBean. As I want the eXist classes to be available to the other modules of my application I cannot add everything to the sar-file.

After googling a while I found out that i have to add a Class-Path entry to my MANIFEST.MF, but this didn't change anything :(

Any help available for this?

Chris

Ok ... after another googling Session one of the pages unavailable fpr the last days was online again and I found a solution to my problem. Instead of adding a "Class-Path" Element to the MANIFEST.MF File I have to add a module to my application.xml file:

lib/utility.jar

Just thought I should post my solution so it might help somebody else.

Haha ... what an intelligent system to stip off the xml-tags ...
well I'll just replace "<" with "[" and ">" with "]" :)

[module]
[java]lib/jakarta-oro-2.0.6.jar[/java]
[/module]

Eat this! ;)
