Place the Target Connector’s .jar file in a JCS lib/ Directory

When deploying Java CS connectors, place the target connector's .jar file in a Java CS lib/ directory. The method you use depends on your environment:

1. In a testing or debugging environment, do the following:
   1. Run Ant inst.
   2. Copy a jcs-sdk-home /lib/jcs-connector-*.jar file (and any third-party .jar files on which it depends) to a production jcs-home lib/ (and dependant .jars to jcs-home extlib/)
2. To install a released connector, do any of the following.
   • Use the ANT build harness provided with the Java CS SDK to build your custom connector, hosted by the Java CS SDK on default port 20412.
   • Use ant inst with the Java CS SDK to build a .zip file for your custom connector, then use the Java CS installer.
3. Restart the Java CS.
