Integrating a value info

You use a value info to group several BOM value type extensions for the same BOM member.

About this task

To be able to use the value info in Decision Center, you must repackage the Decision Center archive to integrate and declare the value info.

Procedure

To integrate a value info into Decision Center:

  1. Package your implementation of the interface IlrValueInfo into a JAR.
  2. Create a preferences.properties file that maps the key you defined for the valueInfo property in the BOM Editor to your interface implementation, and include that file in the JAR file that contains your implementation: 
    webui.info.myKey = mypackage.MyValueInfoImplementation
  3. Repackage the Decision Center archive with the repackage-ear command. In the repackage-ear command, use the -DadditionalJars argument to specify the JAR file containing your custom class.
    Note:

    For information on how to repackage the Decision Center archive, see Repackaging the Decision Center archive.

  4. Deploy the Decision Center archive.

Results

The value info is now available in Decision Center.
