Hi,

We are trying to use spring framework on our CVP application. For spring and other custom elements, we have a java project which works perfectly on our local machine. Then we export this project as a jar to application/lib folder of our cvp project. However, our decision elements (which contains methods from spring framework) can not be visible under elements view until we put all the spring related jars to application/lib folder. Our xml files for spring are also under application/classes folder(By the way, we are reading the xml configurations by giving fullpath, not from classpath which as a problem also). But here is the problem begins. If we deploy the project with this configuration, in the deployment stage, VXML Server tries to figure out all the dependencies of the jars located in application/lib folder which is almost impossible to achive. So we produce a new method to solve the problem. Firstly we stop the VXML Server. Then deploy the CVP application from CVP Call Studio. Then we delete all the jars under the application/lib folder on vxml server (So we avoid dependency_chek/Class not found errors). After that, we put the spring related jars and the jar we created by exporting our java project, under the CVP\VXMLServer\Tomcat\webapps\CVP\WEB-INF\lib folder. After all we start the VXML server and only in this situation our project works.

It doesn't make sense to do such things just to use spring framework in our cvp applications. So what we are doing wrong? Or where should we put our spring related jars to avoid from hard-dependecy-check which always throws NoClassDefFoundError. I mean we don't use ant task but since it is included in a class in one of the spring related jars, we can not even deploy our project.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

At first, thank you for your reply. But there is a misunderstanding. I know local and global lib issues and I talked about them in my question also.
Here, We don't want to use any global jars. We are trying make all applications like standalone.

Let me explain the problem again:

We have a Java application using spring framework. It works perfectly on our local machines. So here the "perfectly" means that we haven't got any build path problem (We are not getting NoClassDefFoundError or something like it). We export this Java project as a jar and put it under CVP_PROJECT/deploy/java/application/lib. We also put all the other jar's in JAVA_PROJECT's build path (e.g. spring.jar etc) to CVP_PROJECT/deploy/java/application/lib. As you see we want it local.

But we CAN NOT deploy this CVP_PROJECT because it is throwing NoClassDefFoundErrors on even deployment stage. Let's say there is a reference to an unrelated class in spring.jar (like ant). On deployment stage, we get NoClassDefFoundError for that class even we don't use/need it. It is only included in the jars we added to application/lib folder. I have to remind that this jars are enough to run the same code in our local machines in a main method.

I have to clarify another issue here. YES, we read the Chapter 2 on Programming Guide like thosand times. Yes, we want the elements to be local to our one application. To solve the problem we tried to use the util folder which I couldn't fully understand why we need such a folder. In Chapter 2, it says that: "This is used for Java libraries that provide the application with utilities unaffiliated with Unified CVP (such as math libraries, XML parsing libraries, etc.).". Our element use Spring methods so if we put all the spring related jars under the util/lib folder, the element becomes invisible on elements pane under local elements. I guess Call Studio trying to find all the depenedent codes under application/lib folder. So I put some of the jars under application/lib folder from util/lib folder. Now we can see our element on Elements Pane but the jars I put to application/lib folder also needs/uses some jars from util/lib folder and according to the chapter 2 they must be included in application/lib also! The meaning I figured out from Chapter 2 about this issue is if my application needs/uses/dependent to a jar, it must be included in appliaction/lib folder. The other ones go to util/lib folder. But, I really don't understand why I am putting the jar even to my project if I don't nedd/use/dependent to that jar!

Is there anyone, using Spring framework on CVP? If there is, how should be the jar placement? Or do I my make myself clear on the problem we are facing? We spent days/hours to solve that classpath problem, maybe we tried millions of different combination and on each configuration, we restarted to TOMCAT either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I am not sure about Springs but the java when you are doing in Studio Eclipse8.0 . You need to add the "framework.jar" and servlet2.3.jar" filles as add extenrnal jar files.

Thanks,
Phani.

Theres nothing special to do in the studio app. On the gateway, you just
configure the tts url. Look at the cvp config and admin guide for the couple
of lines to add to the gateway config.
Also, i assume you have purchased tts from a supported vendor (nuance,
loquendo, etc)

Framework on CVP application

All you need to do is get the output and put it in the session and then you can use that element in the audio/TTS to play it. As it is in the session you can use it anywhere in your app. This is very commonly used.

The audio will do it, you may have it split into different audio elements for each of the 10 questions. These audio can be part of menu/form.

The text i need to read from TTS engine would be in voiceXML format. Shall i store this voicexml format file in Session data variable by using action element.?

Lets say the output would be

Question 1 What is your Home phone number

Questions 2 What is your street Number

question 3 What is your Mobile number

The TTS will read Question 1 then wait for Input and validations
Then Question 2 then wait for Input and validations and so on...

How do i srote each answer in session data or element data to submit all once at a time when all questions have proper input and have submitted.

Appreciate our Help.

I appreciate your reply i

But my concern is how would i store each answer in varaible and process back.

Regards,
Phani.
