Creating a Java Archive Definition |
|
Before you begin this task:
You must have uploaded Java files into the project.
Java Archive Definition helps you to create a compiled Java Archive (.JAR) from the Java files that are available in the project, without using any Java development tool. As Java sources or classes are not in a format compatible with Process Platform, they cannot be packaged with the project in their native format. This method helps you to bundle the Java logic in the project in a format compatible with Process Platform, which can be deployed within an application and used at run time.
- Select a starting point and click
to open the Java Archive Definition editor. - Enter the required details on the interface.
- Click
The Save Document dialog box appears. - Provide the Name and Description, and click
to browse and select the location to save the Java Archive Definition. The folder path where the Java Archive Definition will be created appears in the Save in Folder field. - Click Save. The Save Document dialog box closes.
- Close the Java Archive Definition window.
The Java Archive Definition is created with the provided name and is stored at the selected location. When you package the Java Archive Definition, it stores a.JARfile in the.isvpfile.
After you complete this task:
Publish the Java Archive Definition to an organization.
Note: When deploying an application that contains a Java Archive Definition (or when publishing such an artifact), the generated Java Archive will be deployed at the Process Platform installation directory. The exact path at which the Java Archive will be deployed is based on the qualified name of the Java Archive Definition, considering the Process Platform installation directory as its root.
