Use thirdparty JAR in EJB project in RSA 6.0.1

[Joe Cheung]

I am using RSA 6.0.1 to develop a EJB project in which LOG4J is also used to log some userful information when the EJB is running. I found that RSA didn't package the log4j-1.2.11.jar into the EAR file even I have added the JAR file in the EJB project. Therefore, I have to copy the JAR file to the folder "Utility JARs" in the EAR and define the entry "Class-Path: log4j-1.2.11.jar" in META/INF/MANIFEST.MF manually or the EJB will result in NoClassDefFound for the log4J otherwise.

Can RSA do it automatically for me?

I'm sorry, "RSA" doesn't ring any bells with me. And my Google searches for "RSA" don't give me anything about IDEs. Can you tell us what it stands for?

[Joe Cheung]

RSA stands for "Rational Software Architect" which is built on top of "Eclipse" developed by IBM

Joe,
Why are you storing the jar in the EJB project rather than the EAR? We keep all of our jars in the EAR file and refer to them in the EJB project using Java Jar Dependencies.
