i'm deploying an application making use of EJB. I'have wrote an EJB and a java standalone client to connect to. Everything works correctly. However, i have a question regarding the JAR dependencies. I'm using Netbeans 7.1.2 and Glassfish 3.1.2 and the jars i have added to my client application are:
I have read from here : http://glassfish.java.net/javaee5/ejb/EJB_FAQ.html#StandaloneRemoteEJB, than gf-client.jar hold by itself lot of dependencies. After looking at the MANIFEST file inside it, i saw that it provides lot of relatives path to others jars and then, i HAVE TO refer this jar directly in the glassfish installation path. This is not acceptable if i want to distribute this application to clients, all the clients using the application (client) would need to download Glassfish?
So my question is, how can i handle that? Is there a way to avoid referring directly gf-client.jar from the glassfish install path?
Thanks,
i have solved my issue by adding those jars to my project:
auto-depends.jar
deployment-common.jar
glassfish-corba-internal-api.jar
internal-api.jar
management-api.jar
bean-validator.jar
dol.jar
glassfish-corba-newtimer.jar
javax.ejb.jar
orb-connector.jar
common-util.jar
ejb-container.jar
glassfish-corba-omgapi.jar
javax.jms.jar
orb-iiop.jar
config-api.jar
ejb.security.jar
glassfish-corba-orb.jar
javax.resource.jar
security.jar
config-types.jar
glassfish-api.jar
glassfish-corba-orbgeneric.jar
javax.servlet.jar
ssl-impl.jar
config.jar
glassfish-corba-asm.jar
glassfish-naming.jar
javax.transaction.jar
transaction-internal-api.jar
connectors-internal-api.jar
glassfish-corba-codegen.jar
gmbal.jar
jta.jar
container-common.jar
glassfish-corba-csiv2-idl.jar
hk2-core.jar
kernel.jar
I don't think all the jars are needed in some case. Hope it would help.
