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.
