JSON Lib: json-lib-1.0-jdk13.jar

[Raghuraman K]

Hi,

I'm working on json with ajax. I need to know where to add the json library i.e) json-lib-1.0-jdk13.jar and ezmorph-1.0.2.jar.

1. should i add this to weblogic classpath or should i pack it with my war file?
2. when should one add an external jar to server classpath? when should one add an external jar with war?

I'm using weblogic server.


Thanks.

You add a jar to the server's classpath if all applications to be deployed on that server are going to use the same version of that jar file.
You add it to your web application's Web-Inf/lib folder and configure isolation if may apps are going to be deployed using different versions of the same jar file.

And since you can almost never tell what apps are going to be deployed on a server through time, it's almost always (YMMV) better to simply deploy with the web app.

Hi Tolls/r035198x,

Thanks for you reply. My application is a simple web-application and it also uses some EJB's. We are using ajax calls with json(for data convertion). I just wanted to know whether to add the json.jar and other dependent libraries to weblogic classpath or pack it with war file.

As Mr.R035198x replied, i'll pack it with my war file itself.
