EP development with JDI

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am developing portal module using JDI scenario 2+.

The DC I am working on use IURLGeneratorService interface, and I want to make my DC dependent on SAP DC which define this interface. According SAP documentation this interface contained in: com.sap.netweaver.bc.rf.service.par or bc.rf.global.service.urlgenerator_api.jar however I can't find the DC wich contains this jars.

My question is how to define this dependency in this case?

Best Regards,

Victor

Create an External Library DC and add the library contained the classes/interfaces you need to it:

- Create an External Library DC

- Create a public part for compilation

- Add the jar to the libraries folder (use the Navigation view if you don't see it)

- Add the jar to the public part for compilation

- Build the External Lib DC

- Add the External Lib DC as Used DC to your own DC

You should now be able to use the classes/interfaces to build your DC. If you are creating an Enterprise Portal DC, do not forget to define a PrivateSharingReference to this portalservice, otherwise it will not run, but return a ClassNotFoundException.

Hi, thanks for reply.

The API I am talking about is a <b>core</b> portal service, so I think that there are DC from SAP which contains this jar. Otherwise I should create external library which contains the jar from SAP and should redo it eash new version of jar, transport it manually with my application, etc... If this is a case JDI (IMHO) is not so usefull in portal enviroment.

Can anyone clarify the issue?

This jar is not part of a DC in the three base SC's. These only cover basic WebAS functionality, not Portal functionality since that is a different application, which is installed on top of the WebAS. If you want it as a DC from SAP, you should try to get hold of some portal SCA and import that into your track (don't forget to define a Usage Dependency for your own SC).

The jar is delivered with your NWDS installation, it's in C:\Program Files\SAP\JDT\eclipse\plugins\com.sap.km.rfwizard\lib. So, if you cannot get a portal SC, you can still go for the External Library DC solution.

Hi, I found another SC, named EP-PSERV. According the name portal services should be there. The problem is that I can only found the definition of this SC (in SLD), not the .sca archive to import it to my development system.

Any ideas?

P.S. I am trying hard not to make my own DC with the specified above jar. I am currenlty bulding development metodology and want to make things as stundrart as possible.

Thanks in advance,

Victor

I think what you're trying to achieve is an excellent way of working.

I don't think the SCA can be found anywhere for download. See if you can contact SAP for that SCA. I personally don't understand why they do not provide them (yet) when a customer buys a certain application...
