Add java classes to your composser project

[alexzm1]

Hi guys

I'm using the composer plugin 8.1.400.17 in my eclipse luna 64 bits and I wonder if you guys know, What is the best way of adding a custom java class into your composer project? and also, How can I add a custom jar library to use it in my Backend JSP files inside my composer project? I know there is a WEB-INF directory with a lib directory on it but composer seems to not recognize it when deploying my app.

Regards.

Just like any other Eclipse. Add the JAR on custom JARs and then copy it in the LIB folder of your WebServer

[alexzm1]

So, you have to add it in the server lib directory, Isn't there any way to tell composer to bundle that jar file into the final war file?

I am not Eclipse fan...so no clue...never made a WAR file with it. If Eclipse can, then it should
I just export my projects to another Tomcat.

Google is your friend. Eclipse has tons of specialized forums

So you never added a custom class to your genesys project besides using the embeded jar library in the composers tomcat?
I actually need to create a custom class to use Jackson in order to convert a json object into a java class with attributes that I can access in a JSP file

Yes, I had, but never created a WAR...WAR is not the only way to deploy projects.
Again, google and Eclipse forums are your horizon for more information.

Remember Genesys decided to go with Eclipse because you have tons information and it is opensource, which was not the case with Studio 7.6
