Adding third-party libraries to JDeveloper projects
During a project, we usually integrate third-party libraries to perform various tasks, for example, calculating the digest value or connecting to the credit card gateway. This recipe will explain how to add third-party libraries into JDeveloper projects. Since the book scope aims at BPEL and Java, we will be most interested in how to include third-party libraries to be utilized in BPEL processes. When we use third-party libraries only in one BPEL process, then we can deploy a third-party library in the BPEL process deployment package. When multiple BPEL processes are using the same third-party libraries, then we can deploy them as described in the Adding third-party libraries to the SOA Suite server recipe to avoid unnecessary redundancy.
Getting ready
We will add the same third-party library to JDeveloper as we did in the Adding third-party libraries to the SOA Suite server recipe; that is, Apache Commons Codec
