Java Services In Business Connector supported by XI ?

Question

I am working with the java services of BC and want to convert it into XI.
My question is -the webMethods defined in the java services of BC are accepted by XI or not?
eg. the code in java services of BC is
IDataCursor pipelineCursor = pipeline.getCursor();
This line will be accepted by the XI  when imported or will show error?
As (IDataCursor) is BC propriety  thing.
From where the meaning of the code written in java services of BC can be obtained.
eg.
String value = configProp.getProperty(configKey, defaultConfigValue);
Here what does getProperty method do?
Thanx.

Hi,
my apologies, don't fully understand your question. Are you asking what is the XML structure that a BC Java service can consume?
If that is the question then the answer is: A BC Java service can not consume XML, it consumes IData / IValues objects.
So your question should probably be: How do we build IValues / IData objects from an InputStream?
Answer: Use a Dom or SAX parser and build the corresponding IValues / IData object maps out of that. This is accurately what we have done (+ implemented our own IValues / IData libraries so that we don't use any built-in BC classes in PI to avoid any licensing issues).
The key is to understand how IValues / IData are implemented and how to deal with XML in input / output streams.
We only use this solution internally with our BC2XI product (when requested by the customer) and unfortunately don't provide the libraries separately.
Good luck.
Cheers
