This topic describes how to develop your business process
application.
Before you install, deploy, and run the adapter,
you must develop the application that will use the adapter to communicate
with Siebel Business Applications. This topic provides guidelines
for developing the business process application that communicates,
through the adapter, with the backend Siebel application. For complete
details about application development for the adapter, see the Java
2 Platform Enterprise Edition Specification (IS THIS THE CORRECT
WAY TO REFER TO THIS DOCUMENT?) and the WebSphere Process Server
documentation (WHERE SPECIFICALLY IN WAS DOC WILL APP DEVELOPMENT
BE DISCUSSED?)
To enable communication between your business process
application and the backend Siebel application, via the adapter,
you must do the following:
- Implement the Common
Client Interface (CCI) in your application. This interface provides
access from J2EE clients, such as enterprise beans, JavaServer Pages
(JSP), and servlets, to the backend application. It defines the
client API for creating and managing connections and executing interactions
with a Siebel application. Rather than directly accessing Siebel,
the client uses the CCI record to interact with the adapter. The
client API for connecting and accessing a backend system is defined
in the ConnectionSpec. Its properties are configured automatically
when a client connection is established, via the adapter‘s CCI record,
or you can override them directly in your code.
- Implement the InteractionSpec interface.
- What else should the user do to develop their business process
application?
