Configuring Java APIs

This section provides the procedure to configure the Java APIs so that they can be used with your application.

Important! Before proceeding with the configuration steps in this section, ensure that the JARs required for implementing the Java APIs are installed at <install_location>\Arcot Systems\sdk\java\lib\.

To configure RiskMinder Risk Evaluation APIs for using with a J2EE application:

Note: The following instructions are based on Apache Tomcat Server. The configuration process may vary depending on the application server you are using. See the application server documentation for detailed information about these instructions.

1. Copy the listed JAR files from the following location:

   <install_location>\Arcot Systems\
   

   Paste them in the appropriate location in your <APP_SERVER_HOME> directory. For example, on Apache Tomcat this location is <Application_Home>\WEB-INF\lib\.

   • /sdk/java/lib/arcot/arcot_core.jar
   • /sdk/java/lib/arcot/arcot-pool.jar
   • /sdk/java/lib/arcot/arcot-riskfort-evaluaterisk.jar
   • /sdk/java/lib/arcot/arcot-riskfort-mfp.jar
   • /sdk/java/lib/external/bcprov-jdk15-146.jar
   • /sdk/java/lib/external/commons-lang-2.0.jar
   • /sdk/java/lib/external/commons-pool-1.5.5.jar

   For example, on Apache Tomcat 5.5.x, you must copy these files to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5.31\webapps\<Your_Application>\WEB-INF\lib\.

2. Configure the log4j.properties.risk-evaluation and riskfort.risk-evaluation.properties files as follows:
   • If the application already has a configured log4j.properties.risk-evaluation file, then merge it with the following log configuration files:

     <install_location>\Arcot Systems\sdk\java\properties\log4j.properties.risk-evaluation
     

     and

     <install_location>\Arcot Systems\sdk\java\properties\riskfort.risk-evaluation.properties
     

   • If the application does not have the log4j.properties file configured, then:
     1. Rename log4j.properties.risk-evaluation to log4j.properties.
     2. Merge riskfort.risk-evaluation.properties with log4j.properties.
     3. Copy the log4j.properties file to:

         <Application_Home>\WEB-INF\classes\properties\
        

     For example, on Apache Tomcat 5.5.x, you must copy log4j.properties to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5.31\webapps\<Your_Application>\WEB-INF\classes\.
