Using the Full Java Code Editor

You can add Java programming statements to the program executed by the Data Exchanger component. When you open the Java Source Code editor, the main Data Exchanger Component Editor is not accessible. When the editor is closed, the Java code is re-parsed (because you may have made changes to the code).

Note: The Javadocs that are shipped with Isight are located in the following directory:

<Isight_install_directory>/api/_index/main.html

The class Partitioner is the General Text section format.

  1. Double-click the Data Exchanger component icon .
    The Data Exchanger Component Editor appears.
  2. From the Data Exchanger Component Editor, click the Java Source button.
    The Data Exchanger component generates the full Java source and displays it in the Java Source Code editor.
  3. Edit the code, as desired.
    You can copy and paste text between the editor and an external Java development tool using the standard keyboard commands (Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+V).
  4. Click OK to save your changes and to close the editor.
    Isight checks the Java code for errors while it saves the code. If there are any errors:
    • the first error is highlighted in pink,
    • a description of the error is displayed in the Status Bar at the bottom of the Data Exchanger Component Editor, and
    • the Java Source Code editor does not close.

    You must either correct the error, or click Cancel to discard all changes.

    Note: When you are editing the Java code and there is an error in the Java code, the error message is displayed in the Status Bar. Because of this, when you open the Java Source Code editor, you must position it above the editor so that the Status Bar is visible.
