The Java Application Integration (JAI) plug-in is part of the ClearPath OS 2200 IDE for Eclipse™ Composite Application (CA) feature. This plug-in simplifies the use of OS 2200 resource adapters (RA) in Java projects by automating the generation of connection code using annotations or wizards. This plug-in includes the following resource adapters:
TIP/HVTIP, using Java annotations
DMS, using a wizard
BIS, using a wizard
DMS class project, using a wizard
You can access the resource adapters from the Eclipse OS 2200 menu.
Annotations are a feature of Java 1.5 and later that can be used to generate code, depending on values provided. The TIP/HVTIP RA code generators and the DMS class builder project use annotations.
The wizards for the DMS and BIS RAs solicit data for the use of the resource adapter in the application and generate code directly.
Because not all environments support Java 1.5, and because using annotations can be difficult, the TIP RA provides some Eclipse buttons and menu items that control the use of the annotations within a Java project, and the switching of project compiler compatibility from Java 1.6 to 1.7 and back. Unisys strongly recommends that the annotations involved be used only as controlled by these buttons and menu items in the Eclipse IDE.
