BasicSearchPortlet SIAPI classes not available on classpath in RAD

2007-08-02, 7:21 am

Hi

I'm looking into developing our own Search portlet - and I've read a number on articles on how to do this including
<a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/0610_dinur/0610_dinur.html">
Introducing the Search and Indexing API in WebSphere Portal V6.0</a>.

I've downloaded the BasicSIAPI.war from that article and it runs ok on our dev machine.

I wanted to mess around with code - so I imported the WAR file into RAD 7 and I got lots of compile errors because RAD 7 cannot find any of the siapi classes, even though it has the Websphere Portal 6 runtime libraries on the classpath.

Can anyone tell me what extra libraries I need to add to the classpath to be able to develop a siapi portlet.

Thanks for your help

Hi!

You'll find all necessary jar files in the <PORTAL_ROOT>/shared/app folder.

Add the following jar's:

wp.search.*.jar
siapi.jar

And you'll be good to go!
