Java CAPS Components

In addition to the standard BP components, you can also drag and drop other Java CAPS component activities from the Project Explorer directly into the Business Process Designer. Java CAPS component activities include the following:

• Adapter activities, such as read and write

• Object Type Definition (OTD) activities, such as marshal and unmarshal

• Java Collaboration Definition activities

• Java Message Service (JMS) activities

• Visual Page Designer page and page flows

• Mater Index Java methods

• Business Activity Monitor activities

• Integrator activities

Java CAPS Component Activities

When you define certain Java CAPS components, one or more activity is added to that component in the Project Explorer. You cannot drag and drop a Java CAPS component, such as a Collaboration or OTD, directly into a BP. Instead, you drag and drop an activity defined by the component into the BP. For example, when you create a Java Collaboration Definition or OTD, activities are added to the Collaboration node in Project Explorer. Activities appear as yellow rectangles, similar to the Business Process Designer activity icons.

JMS Activities

When you publish messages from a BP using a JMS send operation, the default message type specified in the JMSMessageType field is a text message. To publish bytes, stream, or map messages, you need to explicitly define the type in the message type field by defining a Business Rule for the send operation link (see Incorporating Business Rules for more information about using business rules).
