I have a EAR -
This EAR contains multiple WAR
Inside these WAR files there is a common JAR which is getting downloaded within each WAR file.
I want to remove this common JAR file into a shared Library. Also i want the latest version of JAR file everytime i rebuild my WAR, I am using Tomcat in Dev and Websphere min production.
We are using IVY for dependency management, Now. I have removed the common jar from the war file, but i dont know how to access the latest version of jar and download it in the shared library everytime i restart my server.
Can anyone help on this.?

You'll need to add a dependency to your ivy.xml file, something along the lines of:
<dependency org="com.orgname" name="jarname" rev="latest.release"/>
Is this a JAR file you make yourself, or is it publicly available? If you make it yourself, you will have to publish it in a repository somewhere in your system.

I have a simple Hello World project in AnyPoint Studio. I have folder of additional files (a few jar files and some configuration files) I want to include with the project so they can get published to the cloud (CloudHub). How do I include these files into my project so when I publish my application the additional files are packaged with them.
Part 2 - Say I have a json file I want to read from my Mule application. What path do I reference the json file with after it is published?
Mule 4 projects are Maven based. You need to reference those jar files as Maven dependencies. You might need to install those projects in your local Maven repository. Search for Maven tutorials if needed. Ideally those JAR files are available in Maven repositories and you add only the dependency snippet in your pom.xml. If you are building yourself you can use mvn install command. If they are third party JAR files that you have the file only you have to use the mvn install but you need to define the coordinates (groupId, artifactId, version) yourself, which is not ideal and Maven won't be able to do automatic dependencies resolution for those JAR files. See this answer for details.
In your source project resource files should be in src/main/resources. At execution time you don't need to add a directory. If you add the file in a subdirectory of src/main/resources you need to use the subdirectory name only.
I have a project that uses IVY. My build script resolves the dependencies well.
I have a library (lets call it Project_libs) configured in IntelliJ iml file so that when I deploy the application the jars get published to the server.
I have an ant task ide-setup which copies the necessary jars from Ivy local repo to Project_libs so these jars are available to IDEA during deployement.
Lets say I make changes to a common library like utils.
Build the common library.
Go to the projects that declared this common library as a dependency and run ide-setup
Then start the server.
Is there a direct way in which I can configure IDEA to read the dependencies from the ivy.xml file instead of doing this convoluted process of setting up the whole thing.
I don't know anything about InelliJ IDEA, but I believe you could accomplish what you want using ant and IVY. From the IVY documentation
<ivy:buildlist reference="build-path" ivyfilepath="ivy/ivy.xml" leaf="mymodule">
<fileset dir="projects" includes="**/build.xml"/>
</ivy:buildlist>
Builds a list of build.xml files sorted according to the ivy.xml files found in an
ivy directory relative to those build files. Only build.xml files of modules which
have dependencies (direct or transitive) on mymodule are put in the result list.
So if you set leaf equal to utils, it could return you a list of build.xml files that depend on utils in dependency order. Then all you would have to do is go through those build.xml files in order and invode their build process (probably through a subant call)
Hi I'm reading up on Ivy for the first time and had a few quick questions:
Need confirmation: the IvyDE plugin is used to configure just the ivyconf.xml file for all workspace projects, correct?
Where does this ivyconf.xml live? I'm running Windows 7 and can't find this hidden .ivy directory anywhere!
Where do you usually place a project's ivy.xml and other xml config files?
Thanks for any nudges in the right direction!
IvyDE allow you to resolve dependencies per project. You could use separate ivyconf.xml in different projects.
You could place ivyconf.xml (or ivysettings.xml) where you want. You could use one per project (as I do) or one for all projects (as I did before).
Usually I put ivy.xml beside Ant's build.xml in the root of my project. But ivysettings.xml I put in project/etc/ivysettings/ directory.
My team uses a separate build project in Eclipse that stores the ivysettings.xml file. The IvyDE plugin provides the Ivy dependency container that the Java projects can use. IvyDE can optionally allow inter-project dependency resolution, but this is off by default.
I'd suggest changing the order of classpath entries in the Ivy Classpath configuration to lexical, otherwise it shows dependencies in the order of the ivy.xml file.
Each project should have their own ivy.xml file - we also follow the same pattern as Alexey uses of using the project's top-level directory.
I've never used an ivyconf.xml file - a quick google suggests this is an alternative (older, deprecated?) name for the ivysettings.xml file.
You will need to write your own ivysettings.xml file to tell IvyDE where your repositories are and which resolvers to use. Leave a comment if you're interested in an example ivysettings.xml file.
Which repositories are you using? Maven Central? Setting up your own repository with Nexus, Artifactory or just using the file system?
I am trying to get logdigger to work in my java app that uses google app engine. I have tried putting my jar files in the src/ directory, lib/ directory, and no matter what I do, it can't find the class. The only thing that it finds is the com.google.appengine stuff. I have tried messing with my dependencies and it's not working. Has anyone done this before and gotten it to work? I am not sure how to modify the classpath through intelliJ (however in the project settings I have the jars linked as a dependency under the modules section).
You probably need to look at the artifacts for your project. IntelliJ separates runtime assembly of WARs into the artifacts section. Look and see that your WAR file is assembled properly. I'm guessing that you don't put the contents of the /lib directory into the WEB-INF/lib of your WAR. The compiled output ought to go into WEB-INF/classes. All other output belongs in the root of the deployment.
I have been working on this problem for one whole day but in vain without any effective solution.
I have an ear file packaged with an ejb and a handful of jar files (including hibernate and the other dependent jar files).The ejb is stateless and enabled as a web service.
The ear file has been packaged using maven and has the below structure
ear->projectrelatedejb.jar
->hibernate.jar
->otherdependent. jar
->META-INF/application.xml
->META-INF/manifest.mf
The application.xml and manifest file are automatically generated by maven when I do a package.
When I deploy this ear file on glassfish it gets deployed with the ejb methods being accessible using web services. However when accessing the application (using soapui),
the ejb methods that perform some database functionality using hibernate throw java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for the hibernate api during runtime.
It is obvious from the error that the hibernate jars are not on the classpath during runtime but since the jars are within the ear Glassfish should have
added it to the application classpath.
I tried various options like adding the classpath entries to the manifest.mf during the package (by using the element addClasspath with the maven-ear-plugin) which didn't do any good.Also with Glassfish we cannot add the dependent jars as modules to the application.xml unless the jars are application client jars
(Glassfish wouldn't deploy the ear file if the application.xml has the dependent jars declared as modules).
I also tried placing the jars in the lib directory within the ear (which isn't actually required) and with the manifest Class-Path header referencing the jars in the lib directory which also didn't fix the problem.
The quick and dirty fix which I can do to get this working is to place the hibernate and the other the dependent jars in Glassfish's lib directory.However,this is a bad practice
and I am somewhat reluctant to do it.
I would really appreciate if someone can provide me with a working solution to this problem.I have gone through the net looking for this problem
but couldn't find any solution.
Wondering if its a bug with glassfish or does glassfish need something special to reference the jars in an ear.
Thanks in advance.
I found a similar problem which is discussed here: http://www.tricoder.net/blog/?p=59.
Simply put, try putting the libraries in EAR/lib directory and according to JEE5 spec, glassfish will add them to class path automatically.
I used Server Library option to deploy application JARs and it worked for me.
Right click on your EAR-> Properties -> Libraries-> Add Library -> Create -> give name and change type in Library Type to Server Libraries then add JARs that should be deployed and confirm.
I work with NetBeans 7.0.1 and GlassFish server 3.1
When you say you added classpath entries to manifest.mf, which manifest.mf do you refer to? The one in ear-root/META-INF/manifest.mf ? Try adding a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF to your ejb module with Class-Path entries!
