    param in adapter xml

    Hi,

    Is there a way to share the param value across multiple data providers. Can we use the shared property in metadata_provider section or suggest any better option.

    Example:

    <data_provider name="ADAPTER_ONE">
    <param name="userName">myusername</param>
    <param name="password">mypassword</param>
    </data_provider>
    <data_provider name="ADAPTER_TWO">
    <param name="userName">myusername</param>
    <param name="password">mypassword</param>
    </data_provider>
    <data_provider name="ADAPTER_THREE">
    <param name="userName">myusername</param>
    <param name="password">mypassword</param>
    </data_provider>

    Hi,

    Defining the shared properties once for the Metadata Adapter is a possibility.
    However, this requires that the Data Adapters can get a pointer to the related Metadata Adapter.
    This is not directly provided, but you can easily achieve this, by considering the following hints (note: this assumes in--process java adapters; for remote adapters there may be some complications):
    • The Metadata Adapter for an Adapter Set has a unique identifier which it receives as the "adapters_conf.id" parameter in the params Map upon init(). All Data Adapters in the same Adapter Set receive the same parameter. Hence the Metadata Adapter can register itself in a static Map by using this identifier.
    • You should set <metadata_adapter_initialised_first> as Y in adapters.xml. This ensures that init() is invoked on the various Data Adapters only after the invocation of init() on the Metadata Adapter has terminated.
    • The <classloader> setting for all Adapters should be left as "common".

    Our demos show examples of communications between the Adapters, although in slightly different contexts. Se the Chat Demo for instance:

    Another possibility, available since Server version 6.1, is to refer to JVM properties.
    In this case you will not save the <param> elements, but there you can just refer to common JVM properties and then you can specify the common values elsewhere once.
    See <enable_expansion_for_adapters_config> in the Server's main configuration file.
