Issues Related to Using JiGlue and ASP.NET

When developing a Process Open Client application, you must use JiGlue to provide the COM Bridge between the Data Providers and the Process Engine services (which are accessed via the Process Java APIs). However, there are a number of issues that arise when JiGlue is used with the ASP.NET framework. Before you begin developing with JiGlue and .NET, review the issues outlined in Developing with IDM COM Objects and JiGlue in the .NET Environment, as well as the following considerations:

  • JiGlue and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) - Your JRE must be installed in its default directory in order for JiGlue to work properly. For additional information, see Configuring the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
  • JiGlue and Data Providers - When you use the FileNet Process Open Client out-of-the-box Step Processor and the FnProcessStepProcDP Data Provider, the Data Provider provides the interface to JiGlue, thereby insulating your ASPX page and the User Controls from JiGlue and the Process Engine server. No references to JiGlue should be made outside the Data Provider. If you are not going to use the out-of-the-box Step Processor and the FnProcessStepProcDP Data Provider, you will need to specify a Data Provider that will provide the JiGlue interface.
  • JiGlue Date Format - When retrieving data via calls to JiGlue, be aware that dates are returned in the UTC-ISO date format.
