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.
- 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 to create the application-specific business
objects. For further information see the Business Object
Designerguide.
- Add the business objects you create to the Supported Business Objects
Using Connector Configurator, 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 to add
supported business objects, see Specifying supported business object definitions.
