A Java Connector will connect to one or more Java classes in the Web Services server. Once you have filled in the basic configuration then you need to add one or more Java classes to the connector. When you add a Java class to a Java connector configuration, you must ensure that the associated JAR file is located under the PROIV directory structure. i.e. Web Services\application\WEB-INF\lib and then refresh the connector.

The basic configuration:

  3. Click Save Connector.

Modifying a Java Class:

  1. Change the Java class.

  2. Click Save Connector.

Deleting a Java Class:
