How do i link my new application package to my Java Runtime package
How do i link my new application package to my Java Runtime package
- Hi All,
I have created a new application package which is JabRef and this uses a Java Runtime to run. I have an existing package for Java Runtime. I want JabRef to link to the Java Runtime, so that there is no need for me to package the JabRef together with the Java Runtime. Thank you.
Kind regards
Joel Valdez

- Hello,
I suggest that you read the sequencing whitepaper and the part about Dynamic Suite Composition;

- If you want to use Dynamic Suiting for linking those packages:
1. Copy <CODEBASE> element in its entirely from you Java Runtime package's OSD
2. Create new <DEPENDENCIES> ... </DEPENDENCIES> element to JabRef's OSD file, under <IMPLEMENTATION> block
3. Paste your copied CODEBASE under this new DEPENDENCIES -element
4. Modify copied CODEBASE so that you add new attribute: MANDATORY="TRUE" to it
5. If you wish, you can remove unneeded attributes from that copied CODEBASE (FILENAME, PARAMETERS, SIZE) as long as you leave HREF and GUID as-is
6. Publish your modified JabRef
There's blog post from App-V Team that goes more into details at: http://blogs.technet.com/softgrid/archive/2008/09/24/how-to-dynamically-suite-two-application-packages-using-app-v-4-5-and-dsc.aspx
