In this lesson, you understand the prerequisites before creating any custom services.
Lesson Concepts
You can use the RulePoint SDK to build your own custom pluggable services in RulePoint. The Custom Service API provides a set of classes that you can extend to develop pluggable custom services. You can create custom source, analytic, responder, connection, and marshaller services.
In this lesson, you learn how to configure and create the necessary JAR files. The lessons also guide you through tasks necessary for creating a custom source and analytic.
Lesson Objectives
In this lesson, you learn how to perform the following tasks:
Create a JAR file.
Use a custom source.
Use a custom analytic
Lesson Prerequisites
Before you start this lesson, you must perform the following tasks:
You must have a JDK compiler to build the classes. The Java Development Kit (JDK) contains the jar packaging tool.
You must have a basic knowledge of OSGi to write the manifest file.
Set the environment variable, RULEPOINT_HOME, to the RulePoint 6.1 installation location.
Copy the
Banking
and
commonlibs
directories from
<INSTALLER_HOME>\samples
to your work location. The files contain the libraries required to create the JAR files.
You must have Apache ANT installed on your machine to create the JAR files, as the instructions provided in this lesson uses Apache ANT. You can choose to download an application of your choice.
