Inquiry About Importing Java Libraries into Appian

Dear Community,

I am currently researching whether it is possible to import a Java library (Java JAR) into Appian and use it as a reusable component within Appian applications.

Specifically, I would like to know:

  1. Can a Java library (e.g., a JAR file) be imported into Appian and used as a native function or service?
  2. If so, what are the recommended steps for integrating a Java-based business logic library into Appian?
  3. Are there any limitations or best practices when using Java-based logic within Appian?

Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could provide any relevant documentation, best practices, or examples regarding Java integration within Appian.

Thank you for your support.

1. Yes.

2. See here https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.1/Custom_Function_Plug-ins.html

3. I believe they only accept open source libraries (with proper license) to be included in plugins. Otherwise, all the other best practices, you will find in the documentation.

As Mathieu said, you can import a Java library into Appian, but it must be compliant and implemented according to what is specified in the link pointed in the second bullet. If you need to import a native Java library, you have to do so by implementing a smart service or function that wraps it.
