Oracle Waveset 8.1.1 Deployment Guide

Installing Custom Adapters

ProcedureTo Install a Customized Resource Adapter

  1. If necessary, create the following directory:


    idm/WEB-INF/classes/package_path
    

    Where package_path is the package where your class is defined. For example,

    com/waveset/adapter/sample

  2. Copy your NewResourceAdapter.class file into the directory you just created.

  3. Create a gif image that is 18x18 pixels and 72 DPI in size to represent your adapter. Waveset displays this .gif file image next to the resource name on the List Resources page.

    You must use the following format when naming your .gif file:

    YourAdapterName.gif

    You must replace any spaces in your adapter name with underscores. For example, look at some of the existing adapter names in

    \waveset\idm\web\applet\images

  4. Copy the .gif file to idm/applet/images.

  5. Stop and restart the application server. For information about working with application servers, see Installation Guide.

  6. Create an HTML help file for your resource.


    Note –

    The idm.jar in the com/waveset/msgcat/help/resources directory contains example help files.

    See Deployment Reference for information about including online help with an application.


  7. From the Managed Resources page of the Administrator interface, click the Custom Adapter button and enter the full class name of your adapter class. For example

    com.waveset.adapter.sample.NewResourceAdapter

  8. Create a resource in Waveset using your adapter.

  9. Ensure your native managed system is operational.

  10. Test the connectivity of your new Waveset resource, as described in Checking Connections and Operations.
