Create classpath from existing jars in a Folder

Question

I new to Python and am looking for a way to create my CLASSPATH argument for Jython script in wsadmin for Websphere, by reading from a folder and including all jars in that folder.

Example :

/jar_dir
    1.jar
    2.jar
    ...
    70.jar

CLASSPATH= INSTALL_PATH + "/jar_dir/1.jar;" + INSTALL_PATH + "/jar_dir/2.jar;"  .... INSTALL_PATH + "/jar_dir/70.jar;"

How can I do this?

try "/jar_dir/*.jar"? Not sure if it works – Jerry_Y Jan 29 '14 at 07:44 — Jerry_Y, Jan 29 '14 at 07:44

import glob

...

";".join(glob.glob(INSTALL_PATH+"/jar_dir/*.jar"))

This worked... But i came acroos an issue. I have to keep the order of few jars. Right now its setting as I wanted but I don't want to take any risk. Any ideas ? – Debajyoti Das Jan 29 '14 at 10:01

the problem there is no way to know which order keep except if it is alphabetic or by time creation – Xavier Combelle Jan 29 '14 at 12:00

The correct way to do this would be: [1] Adding the jars to "com.ibm.ws.scripting.classpath" to your wsadmin.properties file. See This.

[2] Or add the switch "-wsadmin_classpath /path/to/jar" when you call wsadmin.
