9.2 Example for Extending Control Center

The example shown in the Extending the Control Center appendix is not correct and will not work. Use the following information to work with the Java example instead:

The sample program PluginEx.java is located in the samples/java subdirectory. PluginEx.java is installed with the DB2 Application Development client. To compile PluginEx.java, the following must be included in your classpath:

Create the db2plug.zip to include all the classes generated from compiling PluginEx.java. The file should not be compressed. For example, issue the following:

   zip -r0 db2plug.zip PluginEx*.class

This command places all the class files into the db2plug.zip file and preserves the relative path information.

Follow the instructions in the PluginEx.java file to compile and run the example.

The CCObject interface includes more static constants than are listed in the Extending the Control Center appendix of the Administration Guide. Below are the Java interfaces for extending the Control Center (CCExtension, CCObject, CCM enuAction, CCToolBarAction). These interfaces are listed here for reference only.

package com.ibm.db2.tools.cc.navigator;
 
/**
 * The CCExtension interface allows users to extend the Control Center user
 * interface by adding new toolbar buttons, new menu items and
 * remove some predefined set of existing menu actions.
 * 
 * To do so, create a java file which imports the 
 * com.ibm.db2.tools.cc.navigator package and implements this interface.
 * The new file provides the implementation of the getObjects() and
 * getToolbarActions() function.
 *    
 * The getObjects() function returns an array of CCObjects which defines
 * the existing
 * objects which the user would like to add new menu actions or remove
 * the alter or configure menu actions.
 *    
 * The getToolbarActions() function returns an array of CCToolbarActions
 * which is added to the Control Center main toolbar.
 *    
 * A single CCExtension subclass file or multiple CCExtension subclass
 * files can be used to define the Control Center extensions.  In order
 * for the Control Center to make use of these extensions, use the
 * following setup procedures:
 * (1) Create a "db2plug.zip" file which contains all the CCExtension
 *     subclass files.  The files should not be compressed. For example,
 *     if the CCExtension files are in the plugin package and they are 
 *     located in the plugin directory, issue
 *        zip -r0 db2plug.zip plugin\*.class
 *     This command will put all the plugin package class files into the 
 *     db2plug.zip file and preserve their relative path information.
 * (2) To run WEBCC as an applet, put the db2plug.zip file in where the 
 *     <codebase> tag points to in the WEBCC html file. 
 *     To run the Control Center as an application, put
 *     the db2plug.zip in a directory pointed to by the CLASSPATH 
 *     envirnoment variable and where the Control Center is run.
 *    
 * For browsers that support multiple archives, just add "db2plug.zip" 
 * to the archive list of the WEBCC html page. Otherwise, all the 
 * CCExtension, CCObject, CCToolbarAction, CCMenuAction subclass files 
 * will have to be in their relative path depending on which package
 * they belong to.
