PI45283: JAVA ADAPTERS DO NOT COMPILE IF THEY IMPORT CLASSES THAT EXIST IN JAR FILES IN THE <PROJECT>/SERVER/LIB FOLDER

IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Interim Fix README for 7.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the customer imports classes that exist in the
  <project>/server/lib folder in one of their Java adapter
  classes, that adapter will fail to compile as it will not be
  able to resolve the imported class.  The reason is that
  <project>/server/lib is not on the classpath when compiling Java
  adapters.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation developers building Java *
  * adapters using IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundatoin Studio or *
  * the Command Line Interface                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Java adapters which import classes defined in a JAR file in  *
  * the <project>/server/lib folder will not compile. The        *
  * compilation error will be that the class defined in the JAR  *
  * file cannot be resolved. The underlying reason for this is   *
  * that JAR files placed in <project>/server/lib are not on the *
  * classpath when compiling Java adapters.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * NONE                                                         *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix ensures that JAR files placed in <project>/server/lib
  are automatically on the classpath when compiling Java adapters
  using MobileFirst Studio or the Command Line Interface.
