J2EE server component - library DC has no server/provider.xml file

[former_member190457]

Hi developers,

In my library, a jar is included where my java plain classes access UME classes.

So, I need to runtime reference UME classes from my library.

From [this tutorial|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/bf/93d84072378031e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] I can see that there should be a file called server/provider.xml where runtime dependencies should be configured.

However I am using a DC library, and such file cannot be found.

Should I create it manually?

I need to access typical UME classes such as IGroup, IUser, factories and so on.

Which DC should I runtime reference?

Thanks in advance

Vincenzo

It will be automatically generated when the project is built. It creates references from the Used dcs list.

Hello unfortunately it is not generated on NWDS SP16 or SP18 (I don't know which one exactly because there is an IDE error which prevents the about box to be displayed).

If I understand correctly I should follow the same logic I used in plain projects also in DC project, is that right?

Thanks,

Hi VICENZO.

In version 7.1, this classes are in ENGINEAPI SC. I don't have sure, but is think the DC is com.sap.security.api.sda.

Try this.

Yes, it is very similar. When the project is built provider.xml will created and will be packed in sda file. It wont generate it in your project.

Alternatively you can create server folder under _comp and create provider.xml in it.

Hi, thanks for replying.

If I generate the provider.xml file should I also select the jars to be included?

Will my provider.xml be overridden by the auto-generated provider.xml?

Thanks

regards

1. IF you provide your own provider.xml that takes priority. Build is NOT going to generate automatically.

2. You need to put entries in this xml file manually. That means your DC dependecies does not get added to the xml automatically. You hav to manually do it. DTD for this xml is avaiabale in SAP help portal.
