Hi,
I have been trying to call .Net external from the .component. It is not working. It throws classnotfound exception.
Below are the steps I followed.
Step 1: Create the library project
In Visual Studio 2013 select File -> New Project. An overlay opens. Select Installed -> Templates -> Visual C# -> Windows -> Class Library.
Give the project a name in the given format CompanyName.LiveSite.External. This creates a class library.
Step 2: Create the external class
Create a class as shown below.
using org.dom4j;
using com.interwoven.livesite.runtime;
using com.interwoven.livesite.dom4j;
using System.Xml;
using java.util;
using System;
namespace CompanyName.LiveSite.External
{
public class SampleExternal
{
public Document SampleExternalMethod(RequestContext requestContext)
{
Document returnDoc = Dom4jUtils.newDocument();
Element ele = returnDoc.addElement(“SampleNode”);
ele.addAttribute(“SampleAttribute”, “SampleValue”);
return returnDoc;
}
}
}
Build this class and copy the CompanyName.LiveSite.External.dll to LiveSite preview and LiveSite runtime bin folder.
Step 3: Add external reference in component
In the Content XML section of the LiveSite component add below XML tag.
<Data>
<External>
<Parameters>
<Datum ID=”E-D01” Name=”Param1” Type=”String” Exposed=”false”/>
</Parameters>
<Object Scope=”local”>CompanyName.LiveSite.External.SampleExternal, CompanyName.LiveSite.External</Object>
<Method>SampleExternalMethod</Method>
</External>
</Data>
