All jars for a service do not have to be nested. Note that your STAF Java
service is accessing classes in an external jar file, the JSTAF.jar file.
You can have a STAF Java service access external classes if you put the
external jar file in the classpath. For example, when registering the
service specify
service MyService library JSTAF execute C:/myService/myService.jar \
OPTION J2=-cp
C:/myService/myUtils.jar{STAF/Config/Sep/Path}{STAF/Env/CLASSPATH}
There's an example of this in section "4.4.2 JSTAF service proxy library"
in the STAF User's Guide.

Re: [staf-users] external jar files
So all jar's for the service have to be nested?
They cannot be external ?
I mean i have:
myService.jar
myUtils.jar
and inside the manifest for myService.jar i have:
Class-Path: myUtils.jar
wont work with your class loader?
Cheers

See sub-section "How to Package Nested Jar Files" in section "5.2 Building
a Java STAF Service" at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/stafsdg.html#Header_Building_Java_Service
. If you are still having a problem after following these instructions,
provide the output from: jar tf YourSTAFService.jar
How to Package Nested Jar Files
You can also package nested jar files within your service's jar file. If
your service requires additional jar files, rather than having your
service users download the jar file and add it to the CLASSPATH, you can
nest the additional jar files within your service's jar file.
To include nested jar files, you must have the following entry in the
service's MANIFEST.MF file:
Packaged-Jars: <list of space-separated jar file names, without the .jar
suffix>
Here is an example of nesting xercesImpl.jar, xmlParserAPIs.jar, and
jython.jar:
Packaged-Jars: xercesImpl xmlParserAPIs jython
Note that the nested jar files must reside in the STAF-INF/jars directory
when creating the service jar file. For the example shown above, the
service jar file would contain the following:
STAF-INF/jars/
STAF-INF/jars/xercesImpl.jar
STAF-INF/jars/xmlParserAPIs.jar
STAF-INF/jars/jython.jar
When you register your service with STAF, the embedded jar files should be
located in:
{STAF/DataDir}/lang/java/service/<service-name>/jars
Note that you do not need to include the nested jar files in the
CLASSPATH. STAF's class loader will be able to find the classes contained
within the jar files.
