setting the classpath

[Patrick_McConnell]

I am writing an query extension that accepts an XML object and returns an XML object. I need to be able to parse the XML that comes in the input parameter. I assumed that at least JDOM would be in the classpath, so I tried to use JDOM to do the parsing. But, I am getting the error: INOSXE7114: Java error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jdom/input/SAXBuilder.

How do I include external jars in the classpath of sxs?

If possible, I’d like to use a different DOM library than JDOM, but at this point anything would suffice.

Thanks!

Hello Patrick

As the documentation says (Tamino Server Extension → Administrating Tamino Server Extensions → Installing a Server Extension)

If you want to install a Java Server Extension, which calls Classes from one or more external *.jar files, you have to include these *.jar files into the Tamino registry. Tamino does not refer to any Java Class Path environment variable. Please edit the following registry entry to achieve this:

HKLM/SOFTWARE/Software AG/Tamino//SXS/java classpath

Add your *.jar file to the already existing paths (example shown for Windows platforms):

…/sxrte.jar;…/.jar
Please, observe that this extended classpath becomes valid for a Tamino database only after restarting the database. The entry will be valid for Java Server Extensions on all databases of that Tamino version. Change of version might require changing this registry entry accordingly.

By the way, in the next version of Tamino it should be easier to change the class path by some administration commands.

In my searching of the documentation, I somehow overlooked that paragraph.

Thanks for your help!
