Ashish,

Adding to Venkat's answer.

A case when you will need Usage Dependency is when you need some Common Java Function to be accessible across SWCV's in your Landscape.

One option would be to loda the .jar file in each and every SWCV. this will cause an issue as when you need to make changes you need to make changes in all SWCV's. Better solution would be to have a Generic SWCV and have the jar file in that SWCV .

All other SWCV's should have a Usage Dependency on the Main Generic jar file and so you can access its objects as and when needed in any namespace in any SWCV.

Hi,

These usage dependencies are used to make two or more SWCV to be dependent on some other SWCV. These are used in real time projects, where you define the Data types, message types, message interfaces in two different SWCVs and for creating message mappings between these Message interfaces you need to use this Dependencies.

These dependencies are specified in SLD.
