Every time I create a new Java Web ADF application a lot of JAR files get added in the WEB-INF/lib directory. It is quite obvious that not all of these libraries are needed for the project and I always wanted to clean that part up. Finally I got a chance and found out that the following JAR files are not needed if you are writing an application that uses an ArcGIS server as the data source:
- arcgis_webcontrols_wms
- axis-schema
- arcgis_ejb_stubs
- arcgis_jcs
- arcgis_webcontrols_arcweb
- arcgis_webcontrols_ejb
- arcgis_webcontrols_arcims
- axis-ant
- mlibwrapper_jai
- arcgis_arcweb_stubs
- arcims_jconnect
Our application utilizes most of the mapping capabilities but does not include any sort of editing. I do not know yet if some of the above JAR files will be needed if we include such capabilities.
