The NE Connection Handlers with Java implementation manage the connections with network elements based on the communication parameters in an NE Template.
When implementing Java NE Connection Handlers, see the following topics:
The Java implementation NE Connection Handler needs to implement the IConnectionHandler interface, which provides a common interface for interacting with connections and requires few methods to be written.
Different types of NE Connection Handlers can be created:
Telnet: When you create a new telnet NE Connection Handler, it generates code for telnet connections. This extends the telnet connection to support the interface. The NE Connection Handler editor indicates where additional code is required.
Custom: Create this NE Connection Handler if the connections are not telnet. Custom Connection Handlers generate a skeleton to implement the IconnectionHandler and extends the base NE connection class. The NE Connection Handler editor indicates where additional code is required.
To create a new NE Connection Handler entity:
From the Studio menu, select New, then select Activation, and then select NE Connection Handler.
The NE Connection Handler Wizard appears.
Select the project for this element and enter a name for the entity.
(Optional) Select a location for the entity.
By default, Design Studio saves the entity to your default workspace location. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field or select a location different from the system-provided default. To select a different location:
Click the Folder field Browse button.
Navigate to the directory in which to save the entity.
Click OK.
Click Finish to create the NE Connection Handler.
