Third party jar file location MII 12.2

[shaji_chandran]

Hi Experts,

I have created a JSP page in MII which consumes a third party Java API. I would like to know the location (path) on MII server  where I need to keep the jar files of this API. I do not want to create a custom action since JSP is enough to achieve my scenario. Please let me know if you have any idea about this

I am using MII 12.2 version

Thanks

Hi Shaji,

In your workbench, under the WEB folder where you have your JSP file just import your third party jar file also in the same folder. MII will take it from there itself.

Hi Nirjar,

I tried that as well but still I am getting package does not exist error while compiling JSP file.

Thanks

Hi Shaji,

Can you please copy the jar file at any one of the below mentioned location  and try again :-

\usr\sap\<SID>\J00\j2ee\cluster\apps\sap.com\xapps~xmii~ear\servlet_jsp\XMII\root\WEB-INF\lib

or

\usr\sap\<SID>\J00\j2ee\cluster\apps\sap.com\xapps~xmii~ear\servlet_jsp\XMII\root\WEB-INF\classes

I hope it should work at least from here.

Thanks

Hi Shaji,

Ideally jar files should never be placed directly on server location like this. The moment you re-deploy your application, the jar placed why you will be gone.

If your JSP is using just the libraries from the jar file, bundle it up as an EAR and deploy it on the server.

Hi Shaji,

Using an IDE(prefereably NWDS) is the best way to do this. There are other ways stated here:

Deploying Applications - Developing Java EE 5 Applications - SAP Library

Shaji,

You can also simply deploy the JAR resource file to the NW server:

No need to build your own EAR for this unless you are building your own EJB and WAR content alongside of it.

Hi Sam,

Thanks for your response.

I had a look at the document and find that we need to have NWDS for packing the jar. Currently I am not using NWDS. Do I need to install NWDS and make a connection to MII for deploying the JAR file on NW Server?

Thanks

I think that NWDS is the easiest way but there is also this link that I found:

This question may best be answered on the NW (AS Java) Forum.

Hi Shaji,

You should be able to import it in your project's web folder.

Hi Swaroop,

Thanks for your reply.

I can see all my project folders under below folder. But I could not find any web folder under project folders.

E:\usr\sap\SID\J00\j2ee\cluster\apps\sap.com\xapps~xmii~ear\servlet_jsp\XMII\root\CM\

Could you please provide me the path which you intent

Thanks
