Using other libraries beyond those shipped with bemokoLive

Importing other libs

Other libs can be used in a site by defining them in the lib element of the site configuration and place the jars in an external lib location as defined in the platform configuration.

Define external lib location

Either in your live-config.xml:

<live>
  ...
  <lib>
    <location>/var/bemoko/lib</location>
  </lib>
  ...
</live>

or via a JVM parameter, e.g.

-Dbemoko.lib.location=/var/bemoko/lib

Copy jars into you lib location

Copy jars you want to be made available into the lib location you have defined above following the naming convention

module-version.jar

where module and the version is the name and version of your jar as defined in the site configuration below).
