Connector business object structure
After installing the connector, you must create business
objects. There are no requirements regarding the structure of the
business objects other than those imposed by the configured data
handler. The business objects that the connector processes can have
any name allowed by the integration broker. For more on naming conventions
see the naming conventions for your integration broker.
The connector retrieves messages from a destination and attempts
to populate a business object (defined by the meta-object) with
the message contents. Strictly speaking, the connector neither controls
nor influences business object structure. Those are functions of
meta-object definitions as well as the connector's data handler
requirements. In fact, there is no business-object level application
text. Rather, the connector's main role when retrieving
and passing business objects is to monitor the message-to-business-object
(and vice versa) process for errors.
Creating business
objects
- Identify and configure the application that the integration
broker will send business objects to when the broker is configured
with an instance of the JMS adapter.
- Configure the connector with a data handler that can transform
messages from JMS destinations into business objects suitable for
processing by the target application. You do this by specifying
the DataHandlerConfigMO and DataHandlerMimeType connector properties,
or by specifying the DataHandlerClassName property. For further
information, see Configuring connector properties.
You can optionally specify special data handler processing rules
in static and dynamic meta-objects. For further information, see Meta-object properties.
- Use Business Object Designer Express to
create the application-specific business objects. For further information
see the Business Object Development Guide.
- Add the business objects you create to the Supported Business
Objects. Using Connector Configurator Express,
click the Supported Business Objects tab for
the JMS adapter, add the business objects you have created, and
set the Message Set ID to a unique value for
each supported business object. For further information on using Connector Configurator Express to
add supported business objects, see Specifying supported business object definitions.
