Using SWIFT OTD Library Java Classes

This section provides an overview of the Java classes/interfaces and methods contained in the SWIFT OTD Library. These methods are used to extend the functionality of the library.

The SWIFT OTD Library exposes various Java classes to add extra functionality to the library and its Object Type Definitions (OTDs). Some of these classes contain methods that allow you to set data in the library OTDs, as well as get data from them.

Relation to OTD Message Types

The nature of this data transfer depends on the available nodes and features in each of the individual SWIFT OTD message types. For more information on the SWIFT OTD Library’s messages and message types, see Increasing the heap size from the heapSize.bat file.

SWIFT OTD Library Javadoc

The SWIFT OTD Library Javadoc is an API document in HTML format that provides information on the various classes and methods available with the SWIFT OTD Library.

You can access the Javadoc by selecting and uploading the SwiftOTDLibraryDocs.sar from the Documentation tab of the Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite Installer (see Installing the SWIFT OTD Libraries). The Javadoc can then be downloaded from the Documentation tab of the Suite Installer.

A SWIFT OTD Library Javadoc is provided for the 2008 OTD Library. It is bundled in the initial .zip file uploaded to the Suite Installer.

To access the appropriate ZIP file, do the following operations:

  1. Extract the Javadoc.zip file from the Suite Installer to a temporary folder. This extracts the following two files:

    • Swift2008Javadoc.zip: Contains the SWIFT 2008 OTD Library Javadoc.

  2. Delete the Javadoc that does not apply to your installation.

  3. Extract the appropriate Javadoc files to an easily accessible folder.

  4. After you extract the SWIFT_OTD_Library_Javadoc.zip file, double-click the JavadocOverview.html file to begin using the Javadoc. This file contains complete instructions on how to use this document, as well a link that takes you to the additional Javadoc files.


Note –

The Javadoc for the SWIFT OTD Library is very large and may operate slowly in your browser.
