Adding External Jars in Module development

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

Actually i am adding an external Jar file in my EJB Module in NWDS.I am using this jar file for converting XML to flat file and i am calling this module from Receiver ommunication channel.For this process, i am importing dom4j.jar file in the EJB Module.I have created a jar file for that module,

Now i have created an external Library project for the cause that i have used the external jar file, and i have made following code in the provider.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE provider-descriptor SYSTEM "library.provider.dtd">

<provider-descriptor>

<display-name>

XML2EDI_Library

</display-name>

<component-name>

XML2EDI_Library

</component-name>

<major-version>6</major-version>

<minor-version>40</minor-version>

<micro-version>0</micro-version>

<provider-name>

dom4j.org

</provider-name>

<references>

<reference

provider-name="dom4j.org"

strength="weak"

type="library">org.dom4j.Document</reference>

<reference

provider-name="dom4j.org"

strength="weak"

type="library">org.dom4j.DocumentException</reference>

<reference

provider-name="dom4j.org"

strength="weak"

type="library">org.dom4j.Element</reference>

<reference

provider-name="dom4j.org"

strength="weak"

type="library">org.dom4j.io.SAXReader</reference>

</references>

<jars>

<jar-name>EDI_Module.jar</jar-name>

</jars>

</provider-descriptor>

I have included 4 references because i have imported following in my ejb module.

import org.dom4j.Document;

import org.dom4j.DocumentException;

import org.dom4j.Element;

import org.dom4j.io.SAXReader;

I am not sure of wht to include in reference target and provider name, I am getting the following exceptions in Message monitoring:

1. AO: Document Exception: org.dom4j.DocumentException: E:\usr\sap\BWS\DVEBMGS00\j2ee\cluster\server0\

2. Nested exception: E:\usr\sap\BWS\DVEBMGS00\j2ee\cluster\server0\

Help me in this issue..

Thanks in advance

Hi Jayanth,

You need to have your EJB name and JNDI name in your .jar file, then you need create an EAR file. For your Refference
