Dynamically loading JARs and using them with a controller service

[Mike Thomsen <mi...@gmail.com>]

Is there a good example somewhere that shows how to use
dynamicallyModifiesClasspath on the PropertyDescriptor and use it add new
JARs that are available to the controller service?

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks, Mike. I figured out that it was the test framework that was giving
me some trouble there. When I ran it live, it was fine. So the work around
that I did was this (in case anyone wants to do something similar):

1. Built a sample JAR file from a maven project that would roughly
approximate the sort of class I want to load.
2. Add it as a test dependency in the POM.
3. Used the dependency plugin to copy that to target/test-lib so I could
set the property to "target/test-lib/something-1.7.1.jar"

Then the "dynamic class loading" would work just fine with the maven test
cycle.

Hey Mike,

As long as it's a controller service PropertyDescriptor that uses
dynamicallyModifiesClasspath, check out the JMSConnectionFactoryProvider in
the nifi-jms-bundle.
