pp108 : Creating a Java Class Metadata

Creating a Java Class Metadata

This topic describes the procedure to create a Java Class Metadata.

Before you begin this task:
Ensure that a Java Archive (.JAR) file or a Java class (.CLASS) file is available on the machine where Process Platform is installed.

This option helps you map your custom Java application files into Process Platform in a compatible format. After this mapping (generation of Java Class Metadata), you can generate Web services on them.

  1. Select a starting point and click to create a Java Class Metadata. The Java Class Metadata window appears.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If you want to map a Java Archive (.JAR) file to this model, provide the full path of its location, in the space provided.
    • If you want to use individual Java class files (.CLASS), provide their fully qualified classname in the space provided.

      Note: Ensure that the class files are placed the classpath.

  3. Click Finish. The Save Document dialog box appears.
  4. Provide a Name, Description, and a location to save the model, and click Save. The Save Document dialog box closes.
  5. Close the Java Class Metadata window.
    The Java Class Metadata is created and is available for viewing at the saved location.

After you complete this task:
If you modify the contents of .JAR, you need to update the Java Class Metadata. Right-click (Java Class Metadata)and select Reload Java Class Metadata. Also, publish the Java Class Metadata to an organization.
