When projects require additional JARS, they can be included in the Decision Service package. These could be for extended operators, service callouts, or business object JARs for Java Object Messaging.

To add JARs to a project:

  1. Right-click on a project name in the Studio's Project Explorer that requires additional JARs, and then choose Properties.
  2. Click Corticon Extensions.
  3. Navigate in the panel to locate and list all the JAR files used by the project, as illustrated:


    All the listed JARs will be added to compiled EDS as dependent JARs, but only the ones that are checked will also be included in the compiled EDS file.
  4. Click OK to save the project properties.

It is a good idea to include a JAR in the package as it ensures that it won't be affected by any variations of that JAR elsewhere. However, there are cases -- such as where many Decision Services are dependent on the same large JAR -- where it is more efficient to reference it at a common location on servers.
