Getting started guide for Java Access Provider

This document describes how to get started with development using the access provider for Java. For clarity, code that is not necessary for the purpose of this document have been omitted. The full source code for this example is available here.

Code

Import the Java package

To make the coding easier you can add a number of import statements at the top of the code file. This means that you can use classes in these packages without having to prefix the class with package name.

import ifs.fnd.ap.Record;
import ifs.fnd.ap.RecordAttribute;
import ifs.fnd.ap.PlsqlCommand;
import ifs.fnd.ap.PlsqlSelectCommand;
import ifs.fnd.ap.PlsqlBaseMethodCommand;
import ifs.fnd.ap.PlsqlBaseMethodAction;
import ifs.fnd.ap.PlsqlBaseMethodType;
import ifs.fnd.ap.RecordCollection;
import ifs.fnd.ap.Server;
import ifs.fnd.ap.APException;

Create the server object
Before the server operation can be invoked, a Server object must be created:

Server srv = new Server();

Sets the connection string to use for server communication:

srv.setConnectionString("connection string");

For a server to allow a client application to access an operation, the client must have the right credentials set:

srv.setCredentials("username", "password");

Define your SELECT command

PlsqlSelectCommand cmd = new PlsqlSelectCommand(srv, 
	"SELECT * FROM FND_USER WHERE DESCRIPTION LIKE :DESC");
cmd.getBindVariables().add("DESC", "A%");

Execute the query and read the results

RecordCollection result = cmd.executeQuery();
if(result!=null){  			
   System.out.println("Users");
   System.out.println("======");
   for(int i = 0; i < result.size(); i++){
      System.out.println((String)result.get(i).findValue("DESCRIPTION"));
   }
}

This is the basic way to fetch information from components built with the Extended Server platform. Please look at the full source code for this example to get the whole picture

Compile

To compile an application that uses the Java Access Provider, the files ifs-fnd-ap.jar and ifs-fnd-common.jar must be in the class path. For example (assuming Extended Server is installed in the folder c:\ifs):

javac -classpath C:\ifs\javaruntime\ifs-fnd-ap.jar;C:\ifs\javaruntime\ifs-fnd-common.jar PLSQLQueries.java

Run

When running the application, the files ifs-fnd-ap.jar and ifs-fnd-common.jar must be in the class path. Some system properties must also be set when running applications that uses the Java Access Provider. For more information see Installation of the Java Access Provider.

java -classpath .;C:\ifs\javaruntime\ifs-fnd-ap.jar;C:\ifs\javaruntime\ifs-fnd-common.jar PLSQLQueries [connectstring] [identity] [password]

Note. To be able to run this example, the user must be granted a permission set that has access to the AccessPlsql (in IFS Base Functionality) activity.

The output should be something as follows:
