When using the HCL Commerce Build tool, you can encounter Java
compilation errors caused by missing Java classes.The omission of these files is due to
the limitations of the Java Development Kit.
Problem
When using the Build tool to build packages for deployment, a Java error similar to the following
is
displayed:
[javac] Compiling 5 source files to /opt/WebSphere/CommerceServer90/wcbd/working/compile/global/bin
[javac] /opt/WebSphere/CommerceServer90/wcbd/working/compile/global/src/com/synaigy/commerce/order/facade/server/commands/ExtComposeOrderSummaryCmdImpl.java:18: error: cannot access EFactory

Solution
Manually add the required Java classes to the Java path for the HCL Commerce Build
tool.
- Navigate to the following directory depending on where you are using the Build tool.
- WCDE_installdir/wcbd/ on a development environment.
- /opt/WebSphere/CommerceServer90/wcbd/ within the Utility server Docker container.
- Open the wcbd-build-shared-classpath.xml file for editing.
- Add the required class reference to the path. For example,
<path refid="was.class.path" />
. - Save and close the file.
Result
Upon running the Build tool, the error should be resolved. Additional classes might need to be added to complete the build.
