Other aspects of development, such as how to deploy a Java Step Processor or Launch Step Processor, will vary according to your FileNet web application (FileNet Workplace, FileNet Web Services, or FileNet Open Client).

Before you start, you should be familiar with the following topics:

Note If you are planning to use work performers to perform one or more step-related operations, see Developing Work Performers and Component Integrator Operations. If you using the FileNet Workplace web application and plan to use the Component Integrator (for example, to obtain a Java object or JMS message from an Object Store, File Store, or an external system or application), see Building a Component Integrator-based Work Performer.
