Resource Adapters

Question

The instructions for creating a custom Resource Adapter in the IDM Technical Deployment 5.0 don't come close to working for me. Has anyone used these documents to create a Resource Adapter.
First off, on page 5-19 in Adapter Development, a table makes reference to a component called waveset.properties and says it's located in REF/config. I don't see any directory called config in the REF directory.
Secondly, I have a current JDK and I have set up the ws.sh file which has the WSHOME, JAVA_HOME, and PATH variables. I can't even compile the unaltered SkeletonResourceAdapter.java code successfully.. I get 100 unresolved symbols when I use the supplied command:
javac -d . -classpath %CLASSPATH% SkeletonResourceAdapter.java
Thanks

Answer 1

Yes. I did need to add a classpath. None of this documented in the Technical Deployment 5.0 docs. I also needed to download and install the IBM logging classes for the Skeleton resource to compile. I installed the log.jar in REF/lib.
The final classpath is <path_to_REF>/REF/lib/idm.jar:<path_to_REF>/REF/lib/log.jar
The documentation instructs the reader to set up a ws.sh and add some variables to it so they can source it to prep their build environment. Seems to me adding a CLASSPATH variable and telling the Resource Adapter developer what the actual classpath is for SkeletonResourceAdapter.java would be useful.
In any event, thanks for your response. It is much appreciated.
