Making the Extension Function Available for Use in Maps

To make the XSLT Extension Function available for use in a map, create a Java class for the extension function and place the class in the class path for use during runtime.

For more information, go to http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensions.html#ext-functions.

To make the extension function available for use in a map:

  1. Create a Java class for the extension function

  2. Compile the Java class and package it into a .jar file.

  3. To make the class available for use in your maps during runtime, choose from the following:

  4. Place the .jar file containing the class in {install directory}IOruntime-4_0\jar\ext\mapper\lib\

  5. Place the .class file in {install directory}IOruntime-4_0\jar\ext\mapper\classes\

  1. To make the class available for use in your maps during design time, unzip the file into:

{install directory}eclipse\plugins\com.nnsy.ebd.eai.editors.map.mapplugin_version#\extfuncs\

 

The next step in the process is editing the MAPexpression.xml file.
