Access jar file java classes using Groovy

Question

I've created a jar file containing a number of java classes that I want to reference and use in a groovy script step. What all do I need to put in the groovyscript to access the classes and get the information I need? I have saved the jar file to the bin/ext folder and restarted soapUI

Thanks

hi, try to put the jar in the soapui lib directory (see viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=21006&amp;p=49561#p49562)

Tried that but no success

getting an 'unable to resolve class' error. Here is the code I have. Any thoughts?

def folder = new File( "ext/ALMIntegration.jar" )

if( folder.exists() )
{
ALMConnectionManager newConnection = new ALMConnectionManager()
host = newConnection.getHost();
log.info host
}

hi, if you did not add import clauses in the groovy script, you should used fully qualified class names
For instance

my.package.ALMConnectionManager newConnection = new my.package.ALMConnectionManager()

does it help?

Yep that did the trick! Had to put in the package name before the class. Thanks!

hi, good newscould you try again to put the jar only in the ext lib? I would be interesting to have a good understanding of how to manage external classes in groovy scriptsThanks in advance
