You must configure the general properties of a message map to
define the Java, ESQL, and XSD resources that the map
can refer to, to define your solution XML namespaces, and to add any documentation.
Complete the following steps to configure the general
properties of a map:
- Open the Properties tab of a map
by using any of the following methods:
- In the Properties tab, add, modify,
or remove resources:
- Select the General tab
to view the namespace where the map is available.
- Select Java Imports to add or
remove Java™ classes that Custom Java transforms can refer
to in the message map.
When you include a Custom Java transform,
an import is added to refer to the package qualified Java class, defining a prefix based on the class
name. If you need to use custom Java only
in condition or filter expressions, you can add Java imports to your Java class so that the class public static methods
are available through content assist when you are composing an expression.
- Optional: Select ESQL
Imports to add or remove ESQL files that Custom
ESQL transforms can refer to in the message map.
When you
include a Custom ESQL transform, an import
is added to refer to the ESQL file, defining a prefix based on the
file name. If you need to use custom ESQL only in condition or filter
expressions, you can add ESQL imports to your ESQL file so that the
applicable modules are available through content assist when you are
composing an expression.
- Select Scope to add or remove
XSD files that you can refer to in the message map.
- Select Cast to obtain the list
of input and output wildcard elements that are cast to a specific
type or global element in the message map.
You can remove any entry that is not required anymore.
- Select Namespaces to add, edit,
or remove user-defined namespaces in the message map.
- Select Documentation to provide
a description of the message map,
or other relevant usage notes.
Continue editing the map, and define transformations between
the input message and the output message. For more information, see Editing message maps.
