How to use Jedis JAR file?

[Chait]

Hi All,

I know that's a stupid question, but I am all new to this thing. I
use OpenJDK 1.6 and want to use Jedis client to fetch data from Redis
server. I downloaded Jedis jedis-2.0.0.jar and now want to use this.
But I don't know where to keep the JAR file.
I am a bit confused on this. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

If you are not using Maven (http://maven.apache.org/) you should probably add that JAR and apache commons pool jar (http://commons.apache.org/pool/) to your class-path.
If you are using eclipse that is done simply by adding a reference to both jars in the project java build path / libraries configuration.

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for replying. I use Maven. But how to use the downloaded JAR
file with Maven? Can you give me an example?

Thanks.

If you use maven don't download the jar yourself, leave that to maven!

Hi Jonathan,

If I download the latest JAR package, where do I keep it? I use
Centos 5.5. Should it be in the $JAVA_HOME/lib?

Thanks.

Hi,
I downloaded JAR file and I kept it in the CATALINA_HOME/lib
directory and also in the CATALINA_HOME/webapps/<application>/WEB-INF/
lib directory of my tomcat instance.
But my application is unable to find the JAR file of jedis. So I am
getting an error.
Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks.
