Create the different Java files required for the type of plugin you want to create. See the chapters describing each plugin for further information.
Compile all the Java files for your plugin into classes:
Code Block > javac -classpath $CLASSPATH com/mycompany/myagent/*.java
...
| Note |
|---|
...
Caution! |
...
MediationZone must have unique names. |
Create a user-defined *.jar file containing the classes, see
...
Create a user-defined *.mzp package containing the *.jar file, see
...
Commit your user-defined package, see
...
Creating a User-Defined Jar
To create a *.jar file containing the classes, use the following command syntax:
...
| Code Block |
|---|
> jar cvf my_agent.jar com/mycompany/myagent/*.class com/mycompany/myagent/myagent_icon.svg |
...
Creating a User-Defined Package
In order to To insert the *.jar file into MediationZone, a package containing the jar file must first be created. A package gives the *.jar file a name and a version. The mzsh pcreate command creates a code package used for composing packages (.mzp) in order to create additional functionality and updates. The name and version will be visible in the About window once the new package has been committed into the system.

Exporting 3PP Packages
It is advisable to use a Java wrapper as a proxy for exporting the packages used by your custom mzp.When this argument is set to true, the MZP will be built as an OSGi bundle. This ensures that the Java code within the bundle is isolated from the rest of MediationZone. Use OSGi bundling when your DTK plugin depends on third-party libraries that you need to include in the MZP, so they do not cause any conflicts with the rest of the system. Only the Java packages explicitly exported will be visible to MediationZone. To specify which Java packages to export, use the following options:
The default value is | ||||
| When the com.mycompany.myagent1,com.mycompany.myagent2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[ -exportpackages <Java wrapper>]
A mandatory option when osgi is set to true. This option is used to export the Java wrapper for use by the DTK plugin.
| Note |

Library Package Naming ConventionsTo ensure that the library files not come into conflict with other library packages, our recommended suggestion is to apply a prefix to the filename of your package. |
Example - Usage of exportpackages
A Java wrapper is used to call the actual third party library packages used by the mzp. The example below shows how a Java wrapper can be used.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
package com.digitalroute.devkit.examples.logger;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Level;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext;
public class LoggerWrapper{
final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(LoggerWrapper.class);
public void logMessageFatal(String message){
LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
logger.fatal(message);
}
} |
| ||
| This |
argument will export all Java packages |
contained within the specified JAR file when used with the argument
|
Here is an example on how the option can be used. The example shows how multiple hadoop libraries can be exported.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
FILES="-exported 3.1.0 file=hadoop-auth-3.1.0.jar -exported 3.1.0 file=hadoop-common-3.1.0.jar -exported 3.1.0 file=hadoop-hdfs-3.1.0.jar -exported 3.1.0 file=hadoop-aws-3.1.0.jar -exported 3.1.0 file=hadoop-annotations-3.1.0.jar"
mzsh pcreate "Apache Hadoop" "8.1.2.0" apache_hadoop_cdh4.mzp -level platform -osgi true $FILES |

Committing a User-Defined Package
| Code Block |
|---|
For Bare Metal installations: 1. sftp mzp to test server 2. Login on the test server 3. $ mzsh user/pw pcommit my_agent.mzp |
Note!
The name (My Agent
...
...
-Jar) is the package key
...
, meaning that if a new package with the same name is inserted, then the old code for that package name is replaced.
