About Service Java rules

Create a service package data instance before creating a Service Java rule; the name of the service package is the first key part of a collection of Service EJB rules.

A Service Java rule has three key parts:

Field

Description

Type

Select Service EJB from the Integration-Services category.

Customer Package Name

SmartPromptSelect the name of the service package (instance of the Data-Admin-ServicePackage class). The service package must exist before you can create the service rule. See About Service Package data instances. If your application is to process requests from this service asynchronously through a background agent, define a Service Request Processor data instance (Data-Admin-RequestProcessor-Service class) with this Customer Package Name value as key.

Customer Class Name

Enter the name of the service class. This name is an arbitrary identifier; it is not an instance of Rule-Obj-Class but must be a valid Java identifier. See How to enter an identifier.

The service package name and service class name group service rules.

Customer Method Name

Enter an identifier for the service method. This name is a string; it is not an instance of the Rule-Method class. The service method named describes what the service rule does. See How to enter an identifier.

For general information about the New form, see Completing the new rule dialog box. For general information on the Save As form, see How to enter rule keys using Save As.

Rule resolution

When searching for a Service Java rule, the system filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions.

Circumstance-qualified and time-qualified resolution features are not available for Service Java rules. The class hierarchy is not relevant to Service Java rule resolution.
