How to deploy dependencies with XPages Runtime in Bluemix - xpages

I uploaded my project to Bluemix using IBM Domino Designer, the XPages runtime started fine. During testing, I hit the URL and I received a message
"The application /gittest.nsf requires org.openntf.xsp.debugtoolbar.library. This library cannot be found."
I use a UpdateSite on premises and this application also uses jars in the lib\ext folder on the Domino server.
How do I deploy external jars with the XPages runtime?
How do I deploy my servers updatesite?
When I build locally, I have a c:\sharedlib folder where I have Spring Boot, Hibernate, a Service jar with DAO. In my designer, the project is configured to use the external jars. On the server, I have these jars in the lib\ext folder.
I also use some openNTF projects in UpdateSites (like the error sampled here).
Please advise!

You need to put all the osgi plugins in a folder named 'shared-plugins' this directory should be at the same level as the Manifest.yaml file in your project's deployments folder.

Is it possible to deploy JSF application on Bluemix?

I have installed IBM Bluemix tools on Eclipse and created a 'Hello World' JSF and EAR project. While creating I have chosen a Bluemix runtime environment. Now I try to deploy EAR from Eclipse, it successfully deployed and started but when I try to open it I get the following error:
Not Found The application or context root for this request has not been found: [Ljava.lang.Object;#bdb04149
What have I missed? Is there comprehensive tutorial to deploy Java EE web applications on Bluemix available anywhere?
You can deploy complete EAR files on Bluemix yes. Using the eclipse tools also makes it much easier. This link has steps on how you can do this https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/#manageapps/eclipsetools.html
Further down the page (you can use the menu on the left too) there are steps on how to push an EAR. It might be with pushing a complete Liberty profile to get finer control on the application behavior. This link has further details on pushing Liberty apps and the profile itself https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/#starters/liberty/index.html#liberty
If you deployed an EAR (containing your JSF app) you need to add the web module name to the URL, for example, if your project is called testJSF, your URL will look like this:
http://testApp.mybluemix.net/testJSF/
And of course, if your web page is not called index.xxx you need to add the web page name as well, for example:
http://testApp.mybluemix.net/testJSF/textPage.xhtml
or
http://testApp.mybluemix.net/testJSF/textPage.faces

How to deploy a .war to Embedded Jetty of Gridgain

I would like to deploy my custom web application (.war) to the embedded Jetty container of Gridgain. Would you please direct me to documentation or describe steps?
Please advise.
Thanks.
GridGain embedded Jetty server was not intended to run user war applications, so there is no explicit logic for war file deployment.
However, according to this question, you might be able to deploy a war file by specifying $JETTY_HOME environment variable and dropping your war file to appropriate folder.

How should I deploy PrimeFaces 3.5 into Glassfish 3.1.2?

When I deploy the jar file or Zip file it displays and error message saying there is no installed container capable of handling this application(I use admin console)
Primefaces is a JSF library, not an EAR/WAR/EJB-jar module. It is supposed to be deployed along with the application (i.e. within an EAR/WAR), not separately on the server. Include it in you application and it will available after deployment.

Classloading conflicts with apache commons classes for app deployed to WAS 6.1

I have an app that uses apache-commons-collections v3.2.1. When I deploy the war file using the WAS 6.1 Integrated Solutions Console I get errors because the commons-collections.jar file in isclite.ear gets loaded before the one that I bundle with my .war file. The problem is that my application requires v3.0.0+ of commons collections. The one in isclite.ear is version 2.1.
So, can I deploy into WAS 6.1 without involving isclite? Can I just drop a war file into a directory somewhere? Is there an option I can select in the process of deploying through the admin interface to skip or remove the isclite.ear dependency?
Thanks.
I had a very similar problem with ColdFusion where a jar in the server was a different version than the one that was needed by my application. I had to call a non-delegating loader (one that doesn't ask the parent to first load the class before loading the requested jar). The loader I used is open source. You can find out about it at

Integration of Java application with OpenCms

I want to know how to integrate a Java web application with OpenCms contents. Is it possible to integrate a Java application with OpenCms?
Yes, it's possible. For example you can integrate SpringMVC or Struts into OpenCms, or other tools like JForum, an open source java forum, which also supports single-sign-on (SSO).
You can find information here & a small sample OpenCms+Spring integration project:
http://www.opencms-wiki.org/wiki/Integration_HOWTOs
Since OpenCms is open source and based on Java EE standards, you are pretty free.
What I have done successfully is to create a jstl tag library to connect JSPs in OpenCms to a business backend.
In my case it was done through a SOAP web-service.
Another advantage of this was that I could test and develop my code in Eclipse, without a dependency on OpenCms.
Deploying to production would then mean to deploy a jar file to the OpenCms webapp.
Yet another advantage: Since we put some of the view-logic into the OpenCms-hosted JSPs, they were versioned by OpenCms.
We have integrated SprigMVC into an existing OpenCMS installation. Here is a description of how we went about that: http://blog.shinetech.com/2013/04/09/integrating-springmvc-with-opencms/
