Creating a server plugin which requires a dll to function

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,

A plugin I created for imacro progarm needs a .dll file to functions. but we can not find any way to upload that .dll file to servoy or copy to any directory. Does anybody know, how can I do it?

Regards,

You need to include it in your webstart download.
You can google for something like ‘how include dll to jnlp’ and you should be able to find the information.
One helpful thread you will find is this one: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=603850.
Next to that you have to make sure that your client can find the dll.

When you want we can help you doing this.
You can create a support ticket at contact at it2be dot com and can quote you for it.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. But the requirement for our application is some what different.

We have developed a servoy server plugin where a jawin.dll is required for it’s functionality. The purpose of the application is to invoke another application installed in the OS (IMacro in this scenario) using jawin → OLE32.

This application should run in the server side, and not be downloaded to client side (hence, the server plugin). When we created it as a stand alone java application, we had to place the dll in the project root directory. In the case of a servoy server plugin, where should jawin.dll be placed?

hard to say. where the plug-in expects the dll.

It could be within the java path or elsewhere. You should be able to find it in the documentation of the libs you use.

Are you sure you created the plug-in as a server plug-in? In that case, when you say it was ok to put it in the project folder, it should be in the plugins folder or one level higher possibly…
