Unable to add build ref to portal jar in web dynpro DC

Hi All,

I've created a Web Dynpro DC which is stored in the DTR. I need to access the com.sap.security.api JAR file so that I can get user details in the web dynpro. My local web dynpro has a reference to this in its classpath.

Whenever I try to add a reference to this in the DC based web dynpro, the change is not reflected in the DTR so the build always fails.

I've seen postings that suggest you need to create an external library DC and extract all of the classes in the JAr into your web dynpro DC.

Surely there is a better way to access SAP provided API's then extracting them into your project.

Please help.
