Overview of extended functions

When you write extended functions, you can distribute those functions in an object migration package. Connectors use the ClassLoader business object and resource files, and custom workflow components such as CustomTask, CustomParameters, and CustomTransitions. The servlet proxy is an extension of class loaders that gives a handle to the Java™ API for the IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Connector for Business Applications (CBA). CBA uses Java servlet-style programming for integration into external systems with custom form components.

To create IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities connectors, you must be familiar with the IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities builder tools, IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Connector for Business Applications web service interface, and Java programming language. A connector can be implemented with the Java programming language only.
