Developing a Custom Component

Developing a Custom Component

  1. Create a class that implements one or more of the following interfaces:
    Component Type
    Type of Input
    Interface
    Document processor
    File
    CMXFileProcessor
    Document processor
    Buffer
    CMXByteArrayProcessor
    Transformer
    String
    CMXStringTransformer
    Transformer
    Buffer
    CMXByteArrayTransform
    For more information about these interfaces, see the
    External-Component Java Interface Reference
    .
  2. Compile the project to a JAR file.
  3. Store the JAR in the
    externLibs\user
    subdirectory of the installation directory of every computer where you plan to use the component.
  4. Create a Script file that defines the display name of the component and its properties. Store the file in the
    autoInclude\user
    subdirectory of the installation directory.
    For more information about this step, see Configuring a Custom Component.
    You can then use the custom component in transformations.
