Madhu,
Unfortunately, the LuaJ script engine resolves classes using the
system class loader as a parent class loader, rather than the current
thread's context class loader. This means LuaJ only has access to the
classes defined in JARs in the lib/ folder (not even lib/bootstrap).
The Module Directory property is useless for LuaJ at present, meaning
even if you add that JAR to the Module Directory property it still
won't work. Theoretically you'd add the JARs you want to the lib/
folder and restart NiFi, but then you're risking all sorts of bad news
and interactions.
The bottom line is that LuaJ should probably only be used to leverage
business logic written in Lua, not Java. If you want access to Java
libraries, I'd use another script engine such as Groovy.
Regards,
Matt
