The enterprise metadata discovery service uses WBIMetadataEditImpl to acquire
connectionTypes, which contains editable properties forResourceAdapter,
ManagedConnectionFactory, or ActivationSpecWithXid.
The enterprise metadata discovery tooling creates an instance of
WBIMetadataEditImpl during the boot strap process. Along with the name of the
MetadataDiscovery class, WBIMetadataEditImpl is specified in the
discovery-service.xml file. If for any reason WBIMetadataEditImpl cannot be
instantiated, then enterprise metadata discovery is not selectable in the WebSphere
Integration Developer tooling.
getOutboundConnectionType
The getOutboundConnectionType() method returns an instance of
OutboundConnectionType with an input name.
public OutboundConnectionType getOutboundConnectionType(String arg0)
return adapterType.getOutboundConnectionTypes()[1];
}
getInboundConnectionType
The getInboundConnectionType() method returns an instance of
InboundConnectionType with an input name.
public InboundConnectionType getInboundConnectionType(String arg0)
return adapterType.getInboundConnectionTypes()[0];
}
WBIDataDescriptionImpl samples:
WBIDataDescriptionImpl represents the data description interface. This interface
maps business object definitions to Java
prepareChildSchemaFiles
The prepareChildSchemaFiles() method creates child objects when a parent object
cannot do so. If your adapter requires a separate and recursive creating of child
objects, then implement this method. Its should call recursively as shown:
prepareChildSchemaFiles();
prepareSchemaFiles();
public void prepareChildSchemaFiles() throws MetadataException {
WBIMetadataDiscoveryImpl.getLogUtils().trace(Level.FINER, CLASSNAME,
"Entering Method");
MetadataObjectResponse response = getMetadataObject().getChildren(null);
WBIMetadataDiscoveryImpl.getLogUtils().trace(Level.FINER,
"Number of BUSINESS OBJECTS: " + response.getObjectIterator().size());
for (Iterator i = response.getObjectIterator(); i.hasNext();) {
TwineBallMetadataObject bo = (TwineBallMetadataObject) i.next();
TwineBallDataDescription dataDesc = new TwineBallDataDescription();
dataDesc.setMetadataObject(bo);
dataDesc.setRelativePath(getRelativePath());
dataDesc.setName(getName().getNamespaceURI(), bo.getBOName());
WBIMetadataDiscoveryImpl.getLogUtils().trace(Level.FINER,
"prepareChildSchemaFiles",
"Build Child Business Object : " + bo.getBOName());
if (bo.getType() == WBIMetadataObjectImpl.OBJECT)
throws MetadataException {
