To use a plug-in, you must install the plug-in so that it can be
accessed by the task container.
Why and when to perform this task
The way in which you install the plug-in depends on whether the
plug-in is to be used by only one Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application,
or several applications.
Complete one of the following steps to install
a plug-in.
Steps for this task
- Install a plug-in for use by a single J2EE application.
Add your plug-in JAR file to the application EAR file. In
the deployment descriptor editor in WebSphere Integration Developer, install
the JAR file for your plug-in as a project utility JAR file for the J2EE application
of the main enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) module.
- Install a plug-in for use by several J2EE applications.
Put the JAR file in a WebSphere Application Server shared library
and associate the library with the applications that need access to the plug-in.
To make the JAR file available in a network deployment environment, distribute
the JAR file on each server manually, and then install the shared library
once for each cell.
What to do next
You can now register the plug-in.
