How do I import and use a 3rd party Java library in QIE?

Question

I have a 3rd party Java library (JAR) that I would like to use in my custom mapping function.  How do I use that JAR in QIE?

Answer 1

To import the 3rd party library so that it is availble to use, you will need to configure QIE from System Administration page.  Review the instructions found on this question: https://www.qvera.com/kb/index.php/256/what-are-external-libraries-or-jar-files

 

Once the 3rd party library has been configured, you can use the Java classes in QIE custom mapping functions.  To import an entire package, you can use the following:

 

importPackage(Packages.com.mycompany.mypackage);

 

After that, you can access any of the classes contained in the com.mycompany.mypackage Package.

 

Alternativly, you can access the class directly as follows:

 

var myClass = new Packages.com.mycompany.mypackage.MyClass();
