Included dependency jar is not resolving in bundle

[GK-AEM]

Hi All,,

In one of my sling servlet we are parsing a xml for this we are using dom4j.

To compile these classes i have included below Maven dependency.

<dependency>
            <groupId>dom4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>dom4j</artifactId>
            <version>1.3</version>
        </dependency>

When i create bundle and installing through Maven bulid script this classes in this jar are not reflecting.

Do i need to make any changes build script to automatically deploy into CQ server?

Thanks,

Kishore

You need either to embed this dependency into your jar or deploy an osgi-version of that jar into AEM. Google says, that Apache servicemix provides an OSGI version of dom4j, so you can deploy it together with your bundles into AEM.

Thanks Jorg,

Could you please explain in detail, and how to do this?

Please refer to the following links for more details on how you can achieve this:

Use Eclipse plug-in project to wrap the JAR into an OSGi bundle and deploy the bundle to AEM. See this article to learn how to wrap a JAR into an OSGi using Eclipse plug-in project:

As an example - notice how we wrap the simple JSON JAR into an OSGi bundle.
