WDP classics: how to use external libraries in DCs

[former_member190457]

Hi everybody,

I know this topic has been covered several times, however I am unable to find infos actually consistent with my AS version. I am on both 7.0 sp13 (my on board AS) and 7.0 sp14 (customer's). no NWDI involved yet.

this excellent [blog|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/9517] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]; is be based on CE7.1, others date back to 2006 and I couldn't have their suggestion working.

I would like to get first person experiences from those who made it in a similar environment (>= 7.0 sp 13)

Thanks

Vincenzo

Hi, I checked again to no use. I'm on NWDS 7.0.09

I had to do it the hard way, procedure follows.

Create external library as per blog.

Create two public parts (API and SDA).

build

Create J2EE library as per blog.

Add to used DCs both external lib's API_pp and SDA_pp: buildtime and runtime dependency - strong

build

ignore warnings such as: runtime dependency ignored

the .sda does not have any .jar inside

open the .sda in the file system path or directly from NWDS

add your .jar to the server directory inside the .sda

in server/provider.xml replace the line:

</jars>

with

<jars>

<jar-name>it.sap.mycustomer.myproject.jar</jar-name>

</jars>

do not build or you will lose your little tricky .sda editing

deploy from NWDS as usual

set WDP DC dependency as per blog (used DC + WDP references settings)

Hope this save some time to others...

If some one know how to do this without manual editing please let me know

Best regards

Would be great if someone could update the blog.

Hi,

be warned that I am now experiencing [this|; problem, so my procedure is not so bullet proof.

Check that thread for updates.

Best regards
