To specify a data handler to be used by the XML connector, use the
following steps.
- Determine the types of data formats that the connector will
support.
By default, the connector uses the XML data handler for the
text.xml MIME type. If you are converting between
business objects and some other MIME type, make sure that the MIME type is an
attribute in the top-level data-handler meta-object (by default,
MO_DataHandler_Default). Only one data handler can be used
to convert any given format type.
- Determine which data handler (or data handlers) the connector will
use.
The top-level data-handler meta-object associates MIME types with a child
data-handler meta-object. The child data-handler meta-object determines
which data handler is instantiated.
- Use the Business Object Designer to modify the data-handler
meta-objects.
- Note:
- If your integration broker is InterChange Server, you can launch Business
Object Designer from within System Manager.
- In Connector Configurator or System Manager, add the data handler
top-level meta-object to the list of supported objects for the
connector. If the connector is not subscribed to the top-level
data-handler meta-object, the connector does not load the meta-object at
startup.
- Specify the name of the top-level data-handler meta-object in the
connector DataHandlerConfigMO configuration property. The
product-delivered default is the MO_DataHandler_Default
meta-object.
For more information about the data-handler meta-objects, see the Data
Handler Guide.
