To use API event handler or notification event handler plug-ins, you must install the plug-in so that it can be accessed by the human task container.

About this task

The way in which you install the plug-in depends on whether the plug-in is to be used by only one Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application, or several applications.

Complete one of the following steps to install a plug-in.

Procedure

  • Install a plug-in for use by a single Java EE application.

    Add your plug-in JAR file to the application EAR file. In the deployment descriptor editor in IBM® Integration Designer, install the JAR file for your plug-in as a project utility JAR file for the Java EE application of the main enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) module.

  • Install a plug-in for use by several Java EE applications.
    Put the plug-in JAR file in a WebSphere® Application Server shared library and associate the library with the applications that need access to the plug-in. To make the JAR file available in a network deployment environment, manually distribute the JAR file on each node that hosts a server or cluster member on which any of your applications is deployed. You can use the deployment target scope of your applications, that is the server or cluster on which the applications are deployed, or the cell scope. Be aware that the plug-in classes are then visible throughout the selected deployment scope.

What to do next

You can now register the plug-in.
