Libraries and Business Logic

Server Code
1

Every time I try to use a 3rd-party library in my business logic, I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/gson/JsonObject

I’ve even tried using alternative libraries, but they return the same error. Whether I deploy the code or run it on CodeRunner.
I’ve added the library’s JAR to the project’s libs folder. Is there something else I am forgetting to do?

Hi.
Try to archive all your libs and third party libs in one zip archive (without any folders/subfolders).

Okay, I’ve archived but where exactly in my project structure do I import them?

Using IntelliJ idea and currently my libs all reside in the libs folder.

Also, this question was not solved* but it is marked as solved? I have beens struggling to successfully use 3rd-party libraries with Business Logic for weeks now.

From everything I’ve read / found, having the JAR in my libs folder (as pictured) is supposed to suffice. But clearly it is not being imported properly as when I run it via CodeRunner it says the files can’t be found.

Could you clarify, how are you deploying your code and what logic do you use (handlers, timer, services).

Any help? I have been blocked by this for a while now…

I am running my Business Logic via CodeRunner. It is a timer that runs every 60 seconds.

Within the timer I access JSON data from an API

I put together a sample timer which uses the gson-2.5.jar library. I had no problem deploying that code. Here’s a link to the complete project - you just need to add your app id and secret key. Please give it a try and let me know if it works:

Hamid,
Please take a look at this comment, where Mark, points to an example of a custom business logic project which uses third party libraries

You can download it, try if it works for you and add your own third-party libraries in the same way
