Kablink Vibe supports the use of custom Java Archive (JAR) files. JAR files are one way that you can incorporate custom functionality to Vibe workflows.
As a Vibe administrator, you can work with Vibe developers to write custom JAR files that enhance the functionality of workflows on your Vibe site.
Before you can enable a JAR file to be used in a workflow, the file must first be created. (The Vibe documentation does not describe how to create a JAR file.)
After the code has been written to accomplish a specific workflow action and then packaged into a JAR file, you need to make that JAR file available to Vibe users who are creating workflows.
To make the custom JAR file available to Vibe users:
Place the JAR file in the following directory. If the directory does not yet exist, create it.
|
Linux: |
/opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat/ lib/custom-ext |
|
Windows: |
c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat\ lib\custom-ext |
Users can now reference this JAR file by adding a Custom Action element to a workflow, as described in Adding On-Entry or On-Exit Events
in Creating an Advanced Workflow
in the Kablink Vibe 4.0.1 Advanced User Guide.
