Creating the Miscellaneous Handler Class

In order for Administration Services to recognize your client plugin, you must create a MiscellaneousHandler.java class and include it in the plugin jar file. See the following example, which implements a single API getDescription(). The framework_client.jar file is required to compile this example.

package com.mycompany.client.plugins;
 
import com.essbase.eas.client.plugins.Description;
 
public class MiscellaneousHandler {
    public MiscellaneousHandler() {
    }
    /**
     * Return a description object for this plugin
     */
    public static Object getDescription() {
        Description d = new Description();
        d.setText("Give a short description");
        d.setVersion("1.0.0");
        d.setVendor("My Company Inc.");
        d.setCopyright("Copyright 2006, My Company Inc.");
        return d;
    }
}
