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.
