MobileFirst 8 javascript adapters and messages

0
votes

i have some questions about MobileFirst Adapters:

  1. We are implementing javascript adapters on a MobileFirst 8 server. Where is the best place to write javascript utils functions?

  2. I also have some utils on java classes (called from javascript adapters) and i need to use the ConfigurationAPI class to get properties. The problem is that the configurationAPI variable (instantiated with the @Context annotation) is always null. Why? How can i get properties values from Java code?

  3. I have a lot of properties (for example low-level backend endpoints) that should be shared between all the adapters. At the moment i used the <property name="" displayName="" defaultValue="" /> syntax, should i copy and paste them in all adapters?! Or where should i put them?

Thank you

The configurationAPI context works in pure Java adapters, not in "java in javascript". – Nathan H

JavaScript adapters allow for a single .js file, so your best place for any adapters JavaScript code is the same .js file...

See my answer to the following question. Once you add custom properties you should be able to handle them in the same way I mention handling other values from the adapter.xml file: Unable to build adapters using profiles and properties in Maven

I also have some utils on java classes (called from javascript adapters) and i need to use the ConfigurationAPI class to get properties.

I've sent a question internally and will let you know once I get an answer.
