OIM 11g: Event Handler Packaging/Deployment
waynecJun 26 2012 — edited Jun 27 2012Need some advice/guidance on best practices for packaging/deploying Event Handlers in OIM 11g.
In our OIM 9.1 environment, we organized all of our custom code by "functional area" so we have JAR's named oim-common.jar, oim-ad.jar, oim-oid.jar, etc. Within each one of these JAR's we have all adapter code, scheduled tasks, and 10g event handlers related to that area. This approach was done to promote code reuse and make unit testing easier.
From what I've read on 11g Event Handlers, it sounds like each event handler needs to be packaged as a plugin along with it's own JAR so that we'd have one JAR per event handler. So, if we have 100 event handlers, we'd need 100 JAR's? Is this required or can our plugin ZIP files just contain the XML definitions as long as the referenced classes are on the classpath?
