MDM Java Connector problem

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to connect to MDM server via Web Dynpro and have written the code for that.

I have imported the following files into build path:

MDM4J.jar, mdm-admin.jar, mdm-common.jar, mdm-core.jar, mdm-protocol.jar AND GenericConnector.jar

Problem is it gives me 2 errors at design time:

1. In the following line

IConnectionSpec spec = connectionFactory.getConnectionSpec();

It says that getConnectionSpec() is undefined for type IConnectionFactory.

2. This compilation unit indirectly references the missing type javax.resource.cci.ConnectionSpec (typically some required class file is referencing a type outside the classpath)

What could be the possible causes?

Do i need to add something else apart from adding JAR files to the project's build path?

After having connection to the MDM server i can get any version incompatibility issues, but at design time, i am not too sure what these errors mean?

Regards,

Dev.

Hi Dev,

it does not mean the Java code references all jars below, but in my NW04 MDM project's build path I use the following jar files (from EP + Eclipse):

connector.jar

logging.jar

GenericConnector.jar

prtapi.jar

com.sap.portal.admin.pcmobjectwizardtoolkit_api.jar

com.sap.portal.admin.wizardframework_api.jar

htmlb.jar

common.jar

com.sap.portal.ivs.api_portalpcm_api.jar

com.sap.portal.admin.propertyeditor_api.jar

com.sap.portal.statelesssessionservice_api.jar

com.sap.portal.ivs.api_iview_api.jar

activation.jar

jaxm-api.jar

mail.jar

saaj-api.jar

sapxmltoolkit.jar

webservices_lib.jar

servlet.jar

com.sap.security.api.jar

bc.uwl.service.api_api.jar

mdm-protocol.jar

MDM4J.jar

mdm-admin.jar

mdm-common.jar

mdm-core.jar

mdm-data.jar

com.sap.portal.ivs.api_landscape_api.jar

com.sap.portal.pcm.admin.apiservice_api.jar

jARMSat.jar

jARM.jar

portal_services_api_lib.jar

com.sap.portal.ivs.connectorservice_api.jar

Suggestions:

-use Java 1.4 ;

-look for jar files on your NW04s EP, put them into a folder, then use them as external libraries in your Eclipse build path. Probably your jar files from Eclipse are older than the ones from NW04s EP.
