Creating Java Classes

Windows can access the AE interface and the PeopleTools PROCESSREQUEST Component Interface through Java Classes. A Java Development Kit (SDK) is required in order to create Java Classes. You can use a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to call the PROCESSREQUEST_SBB component interface using the PeopleSoft agent. This document describes the creation of required Java Classes.

AE supplies completely created Java classes.

• UCXJPS82.jar - for PeopleTools versions 8.1 and 8.2
• UCXJPS84.jar - for PeopleTools versions 8.44, 8.45, 8.46 and 8.49

Manual creation of Java classes is only required if the supplied JAR files are not suitable for your PeopleTools system or if errors occur.

Procedure

	1. Install Java SDK

The Java SDK that is required for the creation of Java Classes can be downloaded from the Internet if it is not already installed on the computer.

Install Java SDK according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Enter the path for the JAVA VM in the Windows path variable. Note that the file JVM.DLL must not be stored in the BIN directory of the agent.

• Host
• Open a component interface (PeopleSoft version 8.1* and 8.2*: SBB_PRCSPARAM, PeopleSoft version 8.4*: UC4_PROCESSREQUEST) in PeopleTools Application Designer.
• From the "Build" menu, select "PeopleSoft APIs."
• Check the "Build" check box under "Java Classes" and enter the %PS_HOME%\web\PSJOA directory as the target directory for the generated files.
  
  
• Select the following APIs and confirm by clicking OK.
• CompIntfc.CompIntfcPropertyInfo
• CompIntfc.CompIntfcPropertyInfoCollection
• CompIntfc.UC4*
  
  and all APIs from
• PeopleSoft.CompIntfcCollection
  up to and including
• PeopleSoft.TraceSettings

If customer-specific component interfaces exist, Automic recommends that you do not use them. Customer-specific component interfaces might still be under development and can lead to errors during Java Classes generation.



As a result, all Java Classes are found in the folder %PS_HOME%\web\PSJOA\PeopleSoft\Generated\CompIntfc as sources.

	3. Compile Java Classes

• Host
• Navigate to the folder %PS_HOME%\web\PSJOA\PeopleSoft\Generated\CompIntfc.
• Compile all Java sources with the command:
  
  javac -classpath .;..\..\..\psjoa.jar *.java

It is important that no error messages are displayed.

• The following JAR command packs the classes in a file:

jar -cvf ae.jar *.class
