   2. From Service Provider URL: http://{yourDomain}/networking/Service?t=1&targetpage=ViewPort.jsp
   3. Go to Settings > Service Provider Settings > Service Configuration
   4. Provide the name of the jar in Libraries supported in Java Code text field and Save.

3. Restart tomcat.

To use classes defined in those JARS:

• In your Java methods, import the classes contained in the JAR files.
  For example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="java" enclose="div">

import com.examples.utils.*; </syntaxhighlight>
