You can programmatically deploy components to the service
container by using the Java API. After you deploy a component to
LiveCycle, you can use it within Workbench to build processes.
By programmatically deploying components, you can automate the process
of deploying components after a component is created or when you
want to upgrade to a newer component version.
When the component is deployed, the services located within the
component become LiveCycle services. As a result, you can
invoke the component’s services by using an invocation method. (See
Service container
.)
Note:
You cannot deploy a component by using web services.
Summary of steps
To deploy a component to the service container, perform
the following tasks:
-
Include project files.
-
Create an Component Manager Client API object.
-
Retrieve the component JAR file.
-
Install the component.
-
Start the component.
Include project files
Include necessary files into your development
project. If you are creating a client application by using Java,
include the necessary JAR files. If you are using web services,
make sure that you include the proxy files.
Create an ComponentRegistry Client API object
Before you can
programmatically perform an component manager service operation,
you must create a
ComponentRegistryClient
object.
Retrieve the component JAR file
To programmatically deploy a component,
reference the component JAR file. When you reference the JAR file,
create a
com.adobe.idp.Document
object that stores
the JAR file.
Install the component
To deploy a component, first install it.
When installed, the component is in a stopped state.
Start the component
Start a component to invoke its services.
After the component is started, its services can be started. (See
.)
Deploy components using the Java API
Deploy a component by using the Java API:
-
Include project files
Include client JAR files,
such as adobe-workflow-client-sdk.jar, in your Java project’s class
path.
-
Create an ComponentRegistry Client API object
-
Create a
ServiceClientFactory
object that
contains connection properties.
-
Create a
ComponentRegistryClient
object
by using its constructor and passing a
ServiceClientFactory
object
that contains connection properties.
-
Retrieve the component JAR file
-
Create a
java.io.FileInputStream
object
that represents the component JAR file by using its constructor
and passing a string value that specifies the location of the JAR
file.
-
Create a
com.adobe.idp.Document
object by
using its constructor and passing the
java.io.FileInputStream
object.
-
Install the component
Install the component by invoking
the
ComponentRegistryClient
object’s
install
method
and passing the
com.adobe.idp.Document
object that
contains the component. This method returns a
com.adobe.idp.dsc.registry.infomodel.Component
object that
represents the component that exists in a stopped state.
-
Start the component
Start the component by invoking
the
ComponentRegistryClient
object’s
start
method
and passing the
com.adobe.idp.dsc.registry.infomodel.Component
object that
represents the component that exists in a stopped state.
