http://identityandaccessmanager.blogspot.in/2011/07/prepopulate-adapter-in-oim-11g.html
according to these links they mention to implements the prepopulationadapter interface into the java class and create the plugin.xml for the class which we have used in jar.
so we prepared a plugin.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<oimplugins xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<plugins pluginpoint="oracle.iam.request.plugins.PrePopulationAdapter">
<plugin pluginclass= "com.oracle.demo.iam.prepop.plugin.UserLoginPrePop" version="1.0" name="UserLoginPrePop">
<metadata name="PrePopulationAdapater">
<value> My_users::email</value>
</metadata>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</oimplugins>
and the java class which implements "PrePopulationAdapter".
they mention to put that jar into one directory named "lib"and paste the xml and lib folder into the OIM_HOME\server\plugin
BUt we stuck on how to configure the adapter or what is the next steps for the above process. or there is something that we have missed in the process
please do reply its urgent

hii i have followed all your steps regarding the pre populated adapter ,but no luck.
java code :
package com.oracle.demo.iam.prepop.plugin;
import java.io.Serializable;
import oracle.iam.request.plugins.PrePopulationAdapter;
import oracle.iam.request.vo.RequestData;
public class Userfname implements PrePopulationAdapter {
public Serializable prepopulate(RequestData requestData){
String fname = "xyz";
System.out.println("Returning fname ==== " + fname );
return fname ;
2)i have create a jar for this code and paste it into lib folder.
3) i have create a plugin.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<oimplugins xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<*plugins pluginpoint="oracle.iam.request.plugins.PrePopulationAdapter">*
*<plugin pluginclass= "com.oracle.demo.iam.prepop.plugin.Userfname" version="1.0" name="Userfname">*
*<metadata name="PrePopulationAdapater">*
*<value>register::LAST_NAME</value>*
*</metadata>*
*</plugin>*
*</plugins>*
*</oimplugins>*
4)i register the plugin using ant -f  pluginregistration.xml register
5)i have restartthe oim server and then i create a user using the same app instatnce in which i have create the form(ie.register),and
request acount-->select app instance ---> add to cart
but the last name xyz as per the java code is not reflected in the dadbase table.
please help
