JAVA UPoC : Using external library

[Jerry Tilsley]

All,

Does any one know where to store the external JAR file for classes used as UPoC’s that reference outside packages?  I’ve tried placing them in $HCIROOT/lib/java and $HCIROOT/$HCISITE/java_uccs but neither of these seem to work.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jerry

Jerry,

The easiest place to store those jar files is in $HCIROOT/java_uccs. This makes the contained classes available to all sites. There is nothing else to do.

If you prefer, you can create your own directory, and place the jar files in that directory. Before the contained classes become available, you have to add that directory to the CLASSPATH environment variable (standard way for Java), or to the QDXI_CLASSPATH environment variable (another way for Cloverleaf).

This works very well. Good luck.

Thanks Levy, I now have all working now.

Great, Jerry

Later on, if you decide to organize your .jar files in your own directories, and update the CLASSPATH accordingly, there is one thing you need to be aware of. In my experience in the past, the updated CLASSPATH did not immediately propagate to the Cloverleaf test tool; I had to reset the host server to make it happen.

Happy Computing in Java.
