Reader Extensions Server 7 API Troubles...

[Former Community Member]

I used the example code for a simple unlock. When I try to access my Servlet I get java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/adobe/document/pdf/CredentialLoginFailure. Do I need to put some library somewhere that I don't have documentation for? I am running ARES 7.0 on Windows 2000 under JBoss 3.2.5. TIA.



The error is:

exception

Did Reader Extension Server 7.0 install correctly? Are other operations working or just the simple unlock? CredentialLoginFailure sounds like it cannot access the digital certificate.

It installed fine and works fine. This error is when it tries to initialize a servlet that I wrote (and it doesn't even get to the first line of code).

I mean, it sounds like there is a library missing:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/adobe/document/pdf/CredentialLoginFailure

I copied the SDK libraries into lib on the server and it seemed to fix the problem (I did some other stuff too so I don't know if that was the problem).

Hi David,



I am facing a simlar error and unable to find a resolution. Could you please let me know in details how you made it work. If possible, could you please share your code?



Thnaks and regards,

Like I said:

I copied the SDK libraries into lib on the server and it seemed to fix the problem (I did some other stuff too so I don't know if that was the problem).



That was as much as I did on the problem. I didn't go back and analyze if anything but the missing libraries was the problem.

I ran into the same problem too. The problem can be pinpointed to samples\simple\readerextensions\enablerights\servlet.java



Search for:



Credential credential =

new Credential("myusagerights", "password".getBytes());



That's the default credential used. Change it to a valid credential and rebuild livecycle-samples.ear, then re-deploy.
