# Allow Additional Classes For Processing

### Overview

Sometimes your integration may use custom objects or third-party libraries that are not recognized by <code class="expression">space.vars.OIM</code> by default. When this happens, the integration can fail with error:

```
com.thoughtworks.xstream.security.ForbiddenClassException
```

You can configure the `allowed.xstream.classes` property to explicitly authorize trusted classes or packages that are required for your integration to work correctly.

> Only allow classes or packages from trusted sources.

### Availability

This configuration is supported from <code class="expression">space.vars.OIM</code> **version 7.234** onwards.

### When to Use This Property

Configure `allowed.xstream.classes` only when:

* Your integration relies on a third-party library that is not included in <code class="expression">space.vars.OIM</code>'s default allow list.
* An integration job fails with a `com.thoughtworks.xstream.security.ForbiddenClassException` error.
* You have reviewed the blocked class and confirmed it is from a trusted source.

### Applying the Configuration

1. Stop the <code class="expression">space.vars.OIM</code> server.
2. Go to <<code class="expression">space.vars.OIM</code> Installation Path>/AppData/OpsHubData
3. Open the `OIM_Config.properties` file.
4. Add or update the `allowed.xstream.classes` property with the required values. (Check the [Sample Scenario](#sample-scenario) section to know more.)
5. Save the file.
6. Restart the <code class="expression">space.vars.OIM</code> server.

### Sample Scenario

A custom connector uses objects from the Apache Commons library. During synchronization, <code class="expression">space.vars.OIM</code> blocks the object because it is not part of the default trusted list. By adding the required class or package to the allowed.xstream.classes property, <code class="expression">space.vars.OIM</code> can process the data successfully and the integration continues without errors.

Below are the samples of how the `allowed.xstream.classes` property value can be set:

#### Allow Specific Classes

```properties
allowed.xstream.classes=org.apache.commons.collections.BidiMap,org.apache.commons.collections.bidimap.DualHashBidiMap
```

#### Allow an Entire Package Hierarchy

```properties
allowed.xstream.classes=org.apache.commons.**
```

#### Allow Multiple Classes and Packages

```properties
allowed.xstream.classes=com.example.CustomObject,com.example.model.**,org.apache.commons.collections.BidiMap
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.opshub.com/v7.234/manage/administrator/allow-additional-classes-for-processing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
