BBj 13.x Classpath Overview

BBj 13.0 includes the following JARs:

NOTE:

 To determine which version of a third party JAR BBj supports, check the version number that is included in the name of the JAR file. For example, <bbj install dir>/lib/jasperreports-javaflow-6.20.5.jar means that the currently installed version of BBj is compatible with version 6.20.5  of Jasper Studio.

Table 1. Core BBj Jar Files


Table 2 . below lists nineSpellCheckerDictionary-xx.jarfiles that provide spell checker dictionaries in various languages and dialects. Because the language dictionaries are rather large and because most applications do not use all languages, the dictionary files are not included in the standard thin-client jar configuration. When deploying a client application that uses spell checking, be sure to add the required dictionary files to the cache archive.

How JAR Changes Affect Web Start

The following jar elements are required in this release:

asm-all-3.1.jar
BBjBootstrap.jar
guava-11.0.2.jar

Note: Web start applications can list the BBjIndex.jar as an element to load classes from such unlisted jars as those mentioned above (excluding guava-11.0.2.jar). However, these two conditions must be met:

1. The Web start JNLP file must contain a BBjThinClient.jar element and a BBjUtil.jar element. The BBjThinClient.jar must be listed before the BBjIndex.jar element in the application JNLP.

2. Both the server and client systems must have JDK (Java Development Kit) installed.

One possible drawback to jar indexing in a Web start environment is the lack of caching of the indexed jars on the client. If caching is needed for certain jar files, use the 'lazy' attribute. When used in conjunction with the BBjIndex.jar, the 'lazy' attribute will download the jar on demand, and keep the jar in the client cache. See sample JNLP file below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <jnlp spec="1.0+"
    codebase="http://www.test.com/jnlp"
    href="indexed.jnlp">

2. Both the server and client systems must have JDK (Java Development Kit) installed.
