Acessing Classes in jar that are exported from J2EE Module Project [message #194977] Tue, 26 June 2007 11:04 Go to next message

Hi,

it seems like older posts are not read anymore, so I'm reposting this as
I now do have access to Eclipse 3.3 and WTP 2.0.

The question I have is, with the above given tools, how can I use the
jar files that are exported from a J2EE Module (lets call the project
mytaglib) from a web project (call mymedia)? I selected all the jar's in
the mytaglib project (its a simple Java project, with the Module facet
selected as well) to be exported, but the web project gives me various
errors when using the classes from those jars. mytaglib is selected as
Module Dependecy in mymedia project properties.

Rob told me before that there should be warning about the exported jars
and a Quickfix which would allow eclipse/wtp to build a mytaglib.jar
which includes the exported jars. However I don't get a warning and I
don't get the export jars in mytaglib.jar in mymedia's WEB-INF/lib dir.

I already tried to not export the jars but that didn't bring up any
warnings either. Do I miss something here?

Just to be sure, are you looking for the warnings in the Problems view?
That is the only place they appear, and thus, the only place you can
access the Quickfix.

Cheers,
Larry

Yes I am looking into the problems view, but there are no warnings regarding
the jar files (there are warnings about not-used variables and imports and
errors about other projects). Thats why I'm asking.

The configuration you describe for your projects works for me. It's not
clear what is different in your situation. There may be something amiss
in your workspace or Eclipse installation.

Could you try creating a utility project and a Dynamic Web Application
project in a new workspace and see if you still don't get the warning in
the Problems view? I tried the following, which worked for me:

1. Started Eclipse with new workspace.
2. Defined Tomcat Runtime (I used Tomcat 5.5).
3. Created Java project.
4. Configured Java Build Path to add an external jar.
5. Exported the added jar.
5. Created Dynamic Web Project
6. Opened Properties dialog and using the J2EE Module Dependencies page,
added the Java project as a dependency.
7. The "Classpath entry ... will not be exported or published." problem
appeared in the Problems view.

Cheers,
Larry

Worked on my home system perfectly fine. I'll try now with the "real"
project in a clean workspace.

In the real project it worked as well. I'll have to see tomorrow at work

Unfortunatly its not been sorted out. At least not with the real
projects :( I still get a .jar in the webprojects that only has the
classes and .tld file that I written in the utility project.

I did run the quickfix for all jars that should be exported and all of
them are marked for exporting. Also I see the publish/export entry under
the buildpath.

Using a freshly created web application project it works, that is I can
add my existing utility module as J2EE module dependecy and when its
published the exported jars from the utility project show up under
WEB-INF/lib. The same thing doesn't work for existing web application
projects, no matter how often I add/remove the J2EE Module dependecy,
clean the project or freshly checkout the project.
