External jars is specific to guice and would not apply for spring which relies on other folders.
See this example for custom JDBC drivers with guice james-jpa: https://github.com/apache/james-project/blob/master/server/apps/jpa-app/docker-compose.yml -- Best regards, Benoit TELLIER General manager of Linagora VIETNAM.

Mail: btell...@linagora.com Tel: (0033) 6 77 26 04 58 (WhatsApp, Signal) On Aug 17, 2024 6:49 AM, from Jerry Malcolm I downloaded 3.8.1 JPA-Guice zip and installed it on an AWS linux EC2. I downloaded the latest mySQL JDBC connector and put the jar in external-jars. When I start up James, I get several exceptions saying it can't find com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver. I tried moving the connector jar into james-server-jpa-app.lib. No change. I haven't yet upgraded the database mySQL 5.7 to mySQL 8. Is this the problem? It seems pretty straight forward when the error message says java can't locate a class. But the class is in the jar file and the jar file is in the same folder with all of the other jars. Do I have to add this jar to a classpath somewhere? What am I missing? thx Jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: server-user-unsubscr...@james.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: server-user-h...@james.apache.org
