The Component Integrator makes it possible to import custom Java™ components as code modules, making them available in a workflow. In addition, a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition JMS queue can be configured as a component queue where the work object, in XML format, is sent to the JMS queue when the work item is routed to the component queue in the workflow.
In the workflow definition, a component step connects to a component queue configured for one or more operations in the custom component.
What to do | Who | Which tool or procedure |
---|---|---|
For a Java component, implement and deploy the custom component software. | Developer | For Java, configure the code module that contains the JAR files. For more information, see Developing Component Integrator-Based Work Performers. |
Create a component queue:
|
Workflow administrator | See Creating component queues. |
Specify the location of the Java class libraries (Java component only.) | Workflow administrator | See Adding new component classes. |
Specify the JMS JNDI information to configure a JMS queue. | Workflow administrator | See Component queues. |
If your system is running Legacy Component Manager, start the Component Manager and the components. Note that the current version of Component Manager starts automatically when the Content Platform Engine server is started. | Workflow administrator | See Legacy Component Manager. |
Use a component in a workflow definition | Workflow author | Use Process Designer. |
