Hello,

How can I import a jar file in webMethods?

I can’t find the import settings for jar files.

On the lib directory, if I put all jar files there, it works normally?

Thanks!

Hi Luis,

You can import the JAR files into webMethods by putting them in the following directory.

• If it is a generic JAR (means which is used by many packages) then you can place it inside “IntegrationServer/lib/jars” folder.

• If it is only for a single package, then you can put them inside “/IntegartionServer/packages//code/jars”.

For more information, refer IS Admin Guide.

Place only the required JARs on IS, otherwise, too much JARs can slow down the IS.

Hope this helps.

Pradeep

Luis,

What pradeep told is exactly correct and make sure you place Jars correctly

otherwise, it will be usless effort and i don’t think so that jars will slow down server.

Thanks
Sai.

Thanks for help!!

Is there any way to add Jar to the server without connecting to the server machine and adding the jars there.
I mean from 8.2 version,when you are accessing the IS via Designer, the designer automatically creates a java project in the name → packagename[hostname_port].Can I add the jars here directly?
Though I am able to add the jars here and avoid all the error messages pointed ; I am not able to compile the java services(I tried connecting the developer ;edited and compiled);It says the jars are not available
Any idea??

I think you have to physically copy the jar file used by your package to the server’s directory.

For Designer, you need both put jar into /code/jars to make compile available and config the build-path of your project to avoid error message.

If you can’t access to server directory from local or remote desktop, you can consider to add FTP port, and then you can put the jar through FTP into any directory belongs to IS.

Hey Wang,
I cant find folder called code in packages folder.
Do I need to create a folder called code and then place the jar inside that folder?

Thx

Hi Sufran,

as pointed out above already there are two locations for placing jars:
Either under IntegrationServer/instances//lib/jars/custom or under IntegrationServer/instances//packages//code/jars.
For the second location, when the jar has a native part, the jar needs to go under the static subdirectory.

Jars under lib/jars/custom and under code/jars/static require a restart of IS to get loaded, but jars under code/jars only require a reload of the package.

The mentioned folders should exist by default.

Hey Holger,

This path worked
C:\SoftwareAG\IntegrationServer\lib\jars\custom

The only problem there is always this sign

and on project in Java project itself has this

But the code is compiling.
So to fix this i have to set the Jar in Java Build Path manually to have the error go away.

Thx.

Hi Sufran,

are you using Local Service Development or are you compiling on a remote development server?

Depending on wM version you will have to add an instance/default path segment between IntegrationServer and lib/…, as IS is able to host more than one instance since wM 9.6, which caused a slight change where the real class loading takes place.

Holger

Hey Holger,

That is on my local. Thx

Hi All,

I am trying to develop the java service to create the excel using the java API poi. I have placed the required jars on the server lib/jars but it was not accessible on my designer. Any other step am i missing. I also tried to place jars to the specific package where i am trying to develop the java service results the same.

After placing the jars i have re-started the server.

Any help would be appreciated.

You must configure the Jar files in the build path of your project in Designer to access the API during development of service.

Thanks Mervin. It works like a charm.

glad it worked!

Hello Mervin and Ashok,
I just read your post here.
I need a help… I placed my jar inside package/code/jars and also configured the build path in designer (i mean i just referred the jar i downloaded in my desktop)

But when i have to move the code to other environments, moving the package will move my jars inside the package.
But how do i do the configure build path in other environments? Also, how can i refer the build path from a common location accessible to everyone in the team?

Can you please help me on this?

Regards,
Kriths

The jars which you setup in designer(build path) are useful only at the design time. In run time they will be fetched from the package jars.

So i don’t think you design in every env. so you need not require. If at all you got to use, you can configure the new env in the same designer so as to fetch the already existing build path.

Answering to your second query - Yes, every developer need to configure the build path. May you can keep the hats in a shared folder and suggest team members to add this folder location in the build path.

I have created FTP port and i am able to login
when i use ls command service, it is showing the below list
ns
admin
Administrator
replicate

but in the default directory, I have Administrator only.
Extended settings “watt.server.login.userFtpDir=false”

How can i redirect to perticular package?

Go into admin directory, it’s the root directory of webMethods.

Thank you Xiaowei Wang

Thanks Naidu Karri. I got it now!

Once you place the jar file at the package level(/code/jars), make sure you add this property to manifest.v3

package

My 2 cents

Hello Community,

how can I import or export processes or a .config date form my client?

Hello Community,

I have json-smart-1.1.1.jar in my \SoftwareAG\IntegrationServer\lib\jars folder. However, when I type “import net.” in my java service, it does not see the jar file. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Brandon,

Designer is not aware of the jars available in the IntegrationServer.

Either import the jar to your workspace additionally or you just have to know the exact name of the classes you want to import in your service.

Holger
