When you install the connector, stub code and makefiles for the protocol
handler are installed. The stub file contains Java code that defines an
empty class that lists all the methods you must implement. You can use
the stub file as a template for generating your custom protocol
handler.
To implement your new protocol handler:
- Modify (and rename) the stubProtocolHandler.java
file.
- Edit the makefile to contain the name of your source file.
- Run the makeProtocolHandler.bat file to compile the
class. The makefile compiles only the class. It does not add the
class to the .jar file.
- Add the new class to the .jar file. Use the
following command:
jar cvf MyProtocolHandler.jar
<classes>.
where:
- MyProtocolHandler.jar is the protocol handler
.jar file. This file must be in the classpath where
the connector startup batch file, start_xml.bat
resides.
- <classes> are all of the classes for your protocol
handler. List all classes and separate each entry with a space.
- Make sure that the connector can pick up the new classes. Edit the
start_xml.bat so that the new .jar file is included
in the CLASSPATH.
