Using external jars in Java Mapping jar archive

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

we want to create a Java Mapping and in the corresponding jar file external libraries will be used. Is it possible to add a library (like iText or Apache POI) to the Java Mapping jar file? I don't want to add such libraries to the standard class path.

When I add them to the lib folder of the mapping jar, the mapping doesn't work and I get a class not found exception?

Best regards,

David

You can create in individual object "imported archive" for every library that you reference.

You can access the imported archive of the same SWVC/namespace in every Java Mapping, XSLT mapping or graphical mapping (e.g. UDF).

Hi,

I've included the external jars as imported archive in the PI 7.0 system it worked for me.

Use NWDS whenever developing Mappings or Module for XI.

In anycase, you can add any kind of external jars and compile it.

In step 2 you will find the option of adding additional jars.
