IFunctionLibrary?

hpl123

Hi all/support,
I am following the 3 part Java plugin tutorial video step by step and during the step with create a class and add interface "IFunctionLibrary", it cannot be found? I have done exactly what you did in the tutorial and I can see other AwareIM "components" in the add interface window but not "IFunctionLibrary". Has something changed in this area? Thanks

I am on Aware 8.2 (build 2565) and Eclipse IDE for Java Developers Version: 2020-03 (4.15.0).

I also try to follow part 3 of the tutorial i.e implement a custom process and then I do find the IProcess interface but the entire code skeleton is not written into Eclipse:

package com.fokalpoint.awareim.plugins;

import com.bas.basserver.executionengine.IProcess;

public class MyProcess implements IProcess {

@Override
public boolean cancel() {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	return false;
}

}

and I get the following errors:
-The type MyProcess must implement the inherited abstract method IProcess.execute(IExecutionEngine, Object[]) MyProcess.java /AwareImPlugins/src/com/fokalpoint/awareim/plugins line 5 Java Problem
-The type MyProcess must implement the inherited abstract method IProcess.resume(IExecutionEngine, Object) MyProcess.java /AwareImPlugins/src/com/fokalpoint/awareim/plugins line 5 Java Problem
-The serializable class MyProcess does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long MyProcess.java /AwareImPlugins/src/com/fokalpoint/awareim/plugins line 5 Java Problem

include "shared.jar" into lib. This should fix your issue.

Thanks Himanshu, that solved the IFunctionLibrary problem so that now works but the IProcess does not. When I add the IProcess interface, I get the following code in the class:

package com.fokalpoint.awareim.plugins;

import com.bas.basserver.executionengine.IProcess;

public class MyProcess implements IProcess {

@Override
public boolean cancel() {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	return false;
}

}

and the following errors:

The type MyProcess must implement the inherited abstract method IProcess.execute(IExecutionEngine, Object[]) MyProcess.java /AwareImPlugins/src/com/fokalpoint/awareim/plugins line 5 Java Problem
The type MyProcess must implement the inherited abstract method IProcess.resume(IExecutionEngine, Object) MyProcess.java /AwareImPlugins/src/com/fokalpoint/awareim/plugins line 5 Java Problem

himanshu

You need to implement all the abstract methods of IProcess.

Whatever IDE you are using for the development there must be some action which will automatically fix your issue.

I am currently not handy with sample code... if needed then let me know

Thanks again Himanshu and I followed the exact instructions Vlad went through in the video tutorial using the same program i.e Eclipse so would think it should work.

I think I solved it my also adding interface connection.jar. When I did that I did get the entire "skeleton" as shown in the video tutorial. Support (or Himanshu if you know?), can you please confirm this is right/new (when compared to what you did in the tutorial)?

This is the code I got (no errors) after adding the connection.jar (I now have awareim.jar, openadaptor.jar, shared,jar and connection.jar as referenced libraries) and when adding a class using interface IProcess:

package com.fokalpoint.awareim.plugins;

import com.bas.basserver.executionengine.ExecutionException;
import com.bas.basserver.executionengine.IExecutionEngine;
import com.bas.basserver.executionengine.IProcess;
import com.bas.basserver.executionengine.SuspendProcessException;
import com.bas.connectionserver.server.AccessDeniedException;

public class ProcessSkeleton implements IProcess {

@Override
public boolean cancel() {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	return false;
}

@Override
public Object execute(IExecutionEngine arg0, Object[] arg1)
		throws SuspendProcessException, ExecutionException, AccessDeniedException {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	return null;
}

@Override
public Object resume(IExecutionEngine arg0, Object arg1)
		throws SuspendProcessException, ExecutionException, AccessDeniedException {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	return null;
}

}

Thanks

I replicated the plugin from the Java tutorial and worked so I guess the above setup does work. Better documentation of how exactly to set this up in Eclipse or other IDE´s would be nice (and also updating the video so it reflects the process above).

I see now I missed a part of the programmers reference that describes the process above with the "missing" jars so was my miss/bad.
