Eclipse Plugin iWay Explorer can be embedded in the open source Eclipse development environment using iWay Integration Tools for Eclipse. In addition to iWay Explorer, these tools allow you to start and stop Service Manager and view schemas within Eclipse.
Note: Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.6 or higher is required.
For the Eclipse rich client (standalone) iWay Explorer, proceed to Using Eclipse iWay Explorer.
For the Eclipse plugin iWay Explorer, Eclipse 3.4 or higher must be installed and configured on your system. Earlier Eclipse releases are not supported. You can download Eclipse from:
http://www.eclipse.org/
Note: You can embed iWay Integration Tools into Eclipse, using the Eclipse update manager as explained in the following procedure. The update manager makes it easy to add additional features and plug-ins to an Eclipse based product. You can also manually embed the tools by unzipping the iWay61\etc\setup\iweclipse.zip file into the Eclipse installation directory.
Note: If Eclipse is already open, ensure that all active projects have been saved.
The Software Updates and Add-ons window opens.
The Add Site window opens.
C:\Program Files\iWay61\etc\setup\eclipse
When the installation completes, you must restart Eclipse.
C:\Program Files\iWay61\etc\setup\eclipse
The Show View dialog opens.
An iWay Explorer tab appears in Eclipse.
Using the Eclipse iWay Explorer is the same whether you run the plugin or rich client version.
Initially, no connections are defined. You must define a connection between iWay Explorer and an iWay component, such as Service Manager or Servlet iBSP.
For Service Manager or Servlet iBSP, this is your choice.
For Service Manager or Servlet iBSP, choose HTTP Connection.
http://hostname:9000
where:
hostname
Is the host name where iWay is installed. Use the actual host name and not localhost.
If you changed the default SOAP port, substitute accordingly. You can click the Local Connection button to see the default.
http://hostname:port/ibse/IBSEServlet
where:
Is the host name of the application server machine. Use the actual host name and not localhost.
Is the HTTP port for your application server.
Your connection appears in the iWay Explorer tab. You can expand it to see adapters and web services. Double-click Application Explorer to see service adapters and double-click Event Explorer to see event adapters. To configure an adapter, right-click and select Add Target.
The available adapters vary depending on which version of iWay you install and which files are in the iWay61\lib directory. If your adapter requires third-party drivers or libraries, they must be in the lib directory or your adapter may not appear. See Preparing Adapters for information on required files.
For more information on using Eclipse iWay Explorer, see the Eclipse documentation available from iWay Software.
