Java programming task overview
After you generate code with BladeSmith, complete these general tasks to finish your DataBlade module code:
- Add code to the ProjectUDRs.java source code file to enable your routines to function as you intend. See Edit methods for instructions.
- Compile your source code files by using the generated makefile. See Compiling DataBlade module Java code for instructions.
- Debug your source code files by using the Java log file. See Debug and test DataBlade Modules written in Java.
- Execute functional tests. See Perform functional tests.
For a list of the Java packages, interfaces, classes, and methods you can use in Java projects, see HCL J/Foundation Developer's Guide.
To avoid merging conflicts when you regenerate your code, add code only in areas marked by TO DO: comments or after the generated code. If you do modify code outside the designated areas, after you regenerate you might have two copies of the routine: the one you modified and the one BladeSmith generated. Although your changes remain, you must resolve conflicts in the two pieces of code.
