Help with JBoss and Pega third-party jars

Hi Guys,

  I am trying to add this third-party jar to be use by Peg 7.1.7 using Jboss 6.1 but for some reason we are seeing this error message in the server log.

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/pdfbox/multipdf/PDFMergerUtility

        at com.pegarules.generated.MergePDF_010146_ZSAjujN5qTXuSs1HE7C$0A.MergePDF01_01_46(MergePDF_010146_ZSAjujN5qTXuSs1HE7C$0A.java:133)

        at com.pegarules.generated.MergePDF_010146_ZSAjujN5qTXuSs1HE7C$0A.invoke(MergePDF_010146_ZSAjujN5qTXuSs1HE7C$0A.java:82)

I have created a path under the standalone configuration:

standalone/lib/ext/sharedlibs/pdfbox-app-2.0.0-RC1.jar

Then I added to the compilerDefaultPath DSS; but I am still getting the same error as above.

When Pega starts up I see the message that the jar has been added but no luck..

internal.mgmt.PRNodeImpl) INFO - Jar added to compile time classpath .../standalone/lib/ext/sharedlibs/pdfbox-app-2.0.0-RC1.jar

Hi Fabian,

First make sure your custom java code works outside pega as a standalone java program. Then follow the redhat article, pay special attention to the following - send the complete logs if there is still something wrong.

Have you tried to add your custom module in the (you need to redeploy the ear after making the changes)

 

prpc_j2ee14_jboss61JBM\META-INF\jboss-deployment-structure.xml

 

 

You need to add the module to the dependency of both prweb.war and prbean.jar – this is similar to reference the share lib from these two modules in Websphere.

 

Example (replace ‘foo’ with your module name):

 

   <sub-deployment name="prweb.war">

                   <dependencies>

                                 <module name="org.jboss.remote-naming"/>

                                 <module name="org.hornetq"/>

                                 <module name=”foo”/>

                   </dependencies>

                   <resources>

                                  <resource-root path="APP-INF/lib/prbootstrap.jar" />

Hi Fabian,

Please define jboss custom module as defined in this redhat article: How to create custom Modules in JBoss EAP 6 - Red Hat Customer Portal. This is the cleanest way of including 3rd party jars without conflicting with pega OOTB jars. If you do not have a redhat account let me know. I can copy the content here.

Hi Kevin,

  I have implemented what it is stated in that link you sent out to me.  But I am still not getting those jars to be picked up.  I can provide you with what I did and the steps but not sure what to do now.

Hi Kevin,

   First of all I have to say..hahaha...I forgot to modify the ear file as stated in the instructions; the good thing is that now I can look up the jar file from SMA.  I have sent an email for the DEV team to verify now.  Hopefully they come back with good news.

As always Kevin you Rock!!!
