SSO Gallery |
DEVELOPER |
 |
The SSO Gallery enables you to scan for JAR files and the associated Java classes. You can then assign a nickname to them and save them to the PROIV server as SSO objects for use in PROIV functions.
 |
Note: If you add JAR files to SSO_JARPATH and you are connecting to a Microsoft Windows PROIV Virtual Machine, you must stop and restart the PROIV V6 Server service for the JAR files to be recognised. |
The directory specified by the SSO Gallery option in the Developer Options window determines which files the SSO Gallery scans.
To open the SSO Gallery:
-
On the main PROIV screen, click the Tools tab and then click General Tools.
-
Click SSO Gallery.
The Server Side Object Gallery window appears. Click here to see an example screenshot of the SSO Gallery. -
Your computer is scanned and the directory specified by the SSO Gallery default path appears in the Directory/Path field.
Note: If the SSO Gallery reports a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException error, ensure that the JAR file containing this class is in a directory mentioned in SSO_JARPATH. It is important to remember that ";" is the directory separator on Microsoft Windows, and ":" is the separator on Unix.
-
Click ellipsis to display the Directory Listing window.
-
Select the relevant JAR file and click OK.
The classes contained in the JAR file are displayed in the left pane. -
Select the Java class in the left pane that you want to add as an SSO object.
-
Click Save.
-
The Add SSO to PROIV dialogue box displays. Assign a SSO Nickname (shorthand version of the class name) to the Java class, which by default is the Java class suffix. The object can now be referenced in PROIV functions. Any errors are reported if there are problems with the methods and properties of the class. Click here to see an example screenshot of problem methods and properties.
