About the Component Integrator
The Component Integrator makes it possible to import custom Java or (Workplace
only) JMS components, making them available in a workflow. In the workflow
definition, a component step connects to a component queue configured
for one or more operations in the external component.
The Component Integrator has two parts:
- The Component Manager: This service runs on the Application Engine or web server
and connects a work item with its appropriate Java or JMS Service Adaptor.
- Configuration: Configure the component queues using Process Configuration Console.
CAUTION See
Component queue security issues
for important security-related information.
