Configuring your environment to use the Java API

To develop case management applications with the IBM® Case Manager Java™ API, you must configure your system to use both the IBM Case Manager Java API and the Content Engine Java API.

About this task

To configure your development environment, you must add specific JAR files to your class path.

Procedure

To configure your development environment:

  1. Find the installation directory that contains the JAR files that you use to run the API. The installation directory is installation_directory/IBM/CaseManagement/CaseAPI/lib where installation_directory is the directory where IBM Case Manager was installed.
  2. Include each JAR file in this directory in the class path.
  3. If your application integrates with IBM Content Manager, find the JAR files in the CaseAPI/lib_cm8 directory on your development system and include each one in the class path.
