Maven dependencies for Transaction & OSGiUtils

Is this issue ever resolved? I tried this piece of code

import javax.transaction.TransactionManager;

import javax.transaction.Transaction;

TransactionManager tmx = new TransactionManager();Maven dependencies for Transaction & OSGiUtils​

Transaction tx = tmx.getTransaction();

    // Begin transaction

    if (tx == null)

    tmx.begin();

Still there is error saying, Cannot instantiate the type TransactionManager

This is a Livecycle internal api for which the fully qualifed package is: com.adobe.aemds.bedrock.internal.OSGiUtils

​But not sure if it is a part of Uber jar or not.

This looks like the POM dep for this API:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.transaction/transaction-api -->

<dependency>

    <groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>

    <artifactId>transaction-api</artifactId>

    <version>1.1-rev-1</version>

    <scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.transaction/transaction-api/1.1-rev-1

It would have been much easier if the PDF Gen code example showed all import statements as we do in HELPX articles.

Looks like this JAR does not expose this API either.

Ok - here is what you can try - i am trying too.

See this KB - AEM 6.1 Forms Help | Using AEM Document Services Programmatically

You can download the DOC Services API JAR.

I assume this JAR file has this API in it. I am looking all the class files in it.

Then you can upload this JAR file to the Maven Repo as a local JAR file - see this (still need an end to end that explains this in a HELPX):

HOW CAN I WORK WITH CUSTOM JARS THAT ARE NOT IN THE MAVEN REPOSITORY

You can place the JAR in your local Maven Repository and then reference it in your POM file. For example, to resolve myCustomJAR_1.0.0.jar within an AEM service, the myCustomJAR_1.0.0.jar file must be located in the Maven repository. You can upload the myCustomJAR_1.0.0.jar to Maven by using this Maven command:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=C:/plugins/myCustomJAR_1.0.0.jar-DgroupId=com.foo.reports -DartifactId=jrurbersrt1.0 -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true

Notice that you must specify the location of the myCustomJAR file in the -Dfile argument. Also notice that you specify the Dgroup and DartifactID values. Once you upload the JAR to Maven using this command, you can reference this JAR file using this Dependency.

<groupId>com.foo.reports</groupId>

<artifactId>jrurbersrt1.0</artifactId>

<version>1.0</version>

<scope>system</scope>

<systemPath>C:\Users\scottm\.m2\repository\com\foo\reports\jrurbersrt1.0\1.0\myCustomJAR_1.0.0.jar</systemPath>

</dependency>

Notice that scope element is system and systemPath references the location of the JAR file in the repository. (This dependency is used later in this article to build the AEM service)

That would be great help smacdonald2008​

YOu are correct - there is missing information from the AEM Forms docs, I am trying to get a worknig example so i can build it and get full code - including POM dependencies into a HELPX community article.

Yes smacdonald2008​, I'm using below AEM 6.3 uber jar dependency.

<dependency>

<groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>

<artifactId>uber-jar</artifactId>

<version>6.3.0</version>

<classifier>apis</classifier>

<scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

Are you using AEM UBER JAR in your POM File?
