For the process servers in your configuration to find the Java™ service provider plug-in at run time, you must expose the class path of the plug-in in the XPath function Java archive (JAR) file. You expose the JAR file by setting a custom property for Business Flow Manager in the administrative console.

Before you begin

Before you can expose a Java service provider plug-in, you must create and register an XPath function JAR file that contains the plug-in with the functions that you want to add. For more information, see BPEL processes: Creating an XPath function JAR file and BPEL processes: Registering an XPath function JAR file with IBM Integration Designer.

About this task

If you created multiple JAR files and placed them in the same directory, you have to expose the class path only once.

Procedure

  1. In the WebSphere® Application Server administrative console, go to the cluster where Business Process Choreographer is configured.
    lick Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application server clusters > cluster_name.
  2. Under Business Process Manager, click Business Process Choreographer > Business Flow Manager > Custom properties > New.
  3. Under Name, enter com.ibm.bpc.spi.xpath.path, and under Value, enter the path of the directory that contains your XPath function JAR file.
  4. Click OK to save your changes.
  5. Restart the cluster.
