Endorsed libraries [message #507458]

Hi all,

I'm transforming an RCP application into an RAP application and I'm getting the following problem.
My RCP application uses endorsed libraries to call EJB on a Websphere Application Server.
So, in RAP, how do I add these endorsed libs ? I tried to add them like standard libraries but it doesn't work.

Thank in advance,

Cédric

Cedric,

I not sure what the actual problem is. What prevents you from handling
endorsed librarys the same way as you do in RCP?
What so you mean with "add them like standard libraries"?

Rüdiger

On my RCP application, I add endorsed libraries with "-Djava.endorsed.dirs" what I cannot do on the RAP application.

Actually my problem is to call an EJB from the RAP application, both are deployed on the same WAS instance.
When I try to call the EJB I get a class not found exception on WsnInitialContextFactory which is annoning because this class exists in the IBM JVM of the WAS server.
To handle this EJB call in RCP, we use the endorsed libraries because we are on a Sun JVM and we need all the WAS stuff to make the call (endorsed+ext WAS libs).

I have two options to solve this.
I can find why the WsnInitialContextfactory is no found by the classloader (possibly an OSGI issue ?)
or I can use the endorsed libraries, the same way as RCP.

I don't know if it's clear but it's a bit complicated.

This depends on how you deploy the RAP application. When deploying as a
standalone Equinox app, you can do the same as with your RCP
application. But I understand that you may not be free to chose the
deployment scenario.

From my POV, finding out why the class isn't found seems the way to go.
At least I can't help mich with WAS and how to manage endorsed libs there.

As this is nothing that is specific to RAP, have you asked on the
Equinox newsgroup? They might have faced this issue before.

Ok, thanks for your replies, I'll try to post on the Equinox newsgroup.
