Eclipse java programming for Maximo 7.5 - Setup.

Goal:
Modify a bit of Maximo functionality through a Java modification


Problem:
I do not have the tools needed to do this.


Solution:
I need to install the tools needed to modify/create java files. 
For this we need to download and then install Eclipse

Download it from: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
I used the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (64 bit)

I follwed these steps: 
http://maximodev.blogspot.nl/2010/09/quick-maximo-development-environment.html

I extract the downloaded zip to the E:\
From the E:\eclipse folder I run the 'eclipse.exe'

I get the Java error like stated in the post from Bruno:


I copy the jre folder from the Webshere/Appserver folder to the e:\eclipse folder and run eclipse.exe again



Now it starts.

As workspace i use 'E:\Workspace'


Since I will work with Maximo 7.5 I use the Compiler compliance level 1.6 (Windows ->  Preferences)




Now I create a new Java Project






Extract the maximo.ear into the workspace



In the Package explorer after doing a Refresh (F5) the maximo folder shows up.



The I go to Project -> Properties and select the JAva build path.
In the Libraries tab I click [Add JARs]



And add the following jars:


  • maximo/lib/*.jar


Filter on *.jar and select all the jar files. (On the picture below, only the bottom of the list is shown)


  • maximo/businessobjects.jar


The list looks like this:



Then I create a folder structure in my project by Right Clicking on the src folder and adding folders.



I do this until I got this:



In the custom.app.asset I right click and create a new Class



With the info from the example of Bruno his blog:



I paste in the code from Bruno his blog:



Now the explanation on Bruno his post stops, He writes:
The custom Mbo class gets quickly compiled and is ready to be deployed on your Maximo server.

Eeuhhh ok... But how do I compile, or this done automatically?
And how do I deploy the custom Mbo? What do i need to do in Maximo to let it use the custom Mbo?

Seems like Bruno has some other very nice articles about that:

In his Maximo Java Development series he explaines a lot.
http://maximodev.blogspot.nl/p/java-customization.html

First I use:
http://maximodev.blogspot.nl/2012/05/maximo-extend-java-mbo.html
and find out the compiling is done automatically

Some picture and my 'doings' to go along with it:

First I save the Project, then I look around a bit I see that in the Project menu there is a Check at "Build Automatically" and the build option is grayed out. This must mean that my .java is already build to .class. 



Then I look in the properties for the project and go to the Java Build Path option and look on the "Source tab" I see the Default output folder.



In Explorer I check this folder, and there is my class file.



I copy this files (and the folder structure) to:
E:\ibm\SMP\maximo\applications\maximo\businessobjects\classes




I rebuild and redeploy the ear file.


  • buildmaximoear.cmd
  • uninstall maximo application from websphere
  • install maximo application in websphere
Redeploying this way is very slow, especially when develping and testing, so for future reference I will use one of these methods:
http://maximodev.blogspot.nl/2012/08/maximo-rapid-java-class-deploy-websphere.html

After starting, MXServer is started, but the MAXIMO appliciation not.

I synchronise the nodes by stopping the node and then starting the node





Then restart the MXServer.

Now MAXIMO starts



Now in Maximo I point the Asset object to the custom class:

The original class is: (I have a scheduler and HSE installtion on this machine, so that is why the plusg class is the original)
psdi.plusg.app.asset.PlusGAssetSet

I point it to:
custom.app.asset.AssetCust


Set Maximo to Admin Mode and do a Database Configuration

Now when I go to the Asset application I get all invalid bindings and when trying to insert a new asset I get the following error:

BMXAA4160E - A major exception has occurred. Check the system log to see if there are any companion errors logged. Report this error to your system administrator.

custom.app.asset.AssetCust.<init>(psdi.mbo.MboServerInterface)



hmmm ok... Am i extending the wrong class in mu Custom made class? Maybe because of the HSE isntalaltion I need to extend that class?

I read through Bruno his blog and on the Extending Java page he explaines that the "Set" must also be extended.
http://maximodev.blogspot.nl/p/java-customization.html

This makes sense as I replaced a "Set" class with a non "Set" class in the Database Configuration.

So back to Eclipse.
I add another class file, named AssetCustSet with the following code:

package custom.app.asset;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;

import psdi.app.asset.AssetSet;
import psdi.app.asset.AssetSetRemote;
import psdi.mbo.Mbo;
import psdi.mbo.MboServerInterface;
import psdi.mbo.MboSet;
import psdi.util.MXException;

public class AssetCustSet extends AssetSet implements AssetSetRemote
{
  public AssetCustSet(MboServerInterface ms)
    throws MXException, RemoteException
  {
    super(ms);
  }
  
  protected Mbo getMboInstance(MboSet ms)
    throws MXException, RemoteException
  {
    return new AssetCust(ms);
  }

}


for the overview, the AssetCust looks like this:

package custom.app.asset;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;

import psdi.app.asset.Asset;
import psdi.app.asset.AssetRemote;
import psdi.mbo.MboRemote;
import psdi.mbo.MboSet;
import psdi.mbo.MboSetRemote;
import psdi.util.MXException;

public class AssetCust extends Asset implements AssetRemote
{
  public AssetCust(MboSet ms)
    throws MXException, RemoteException
  {
    super(ms);
  }
  
  public void save()throws MXException, RemoteException {
super.save();  
int id = getInt("ASSETID");
String desc = getString("DESCRIPTION");
System.out.println("Saving Asset ID=" + id + " desc=" + desc);
  }

}


Save and copy the class files from the bin directory in the businessobject.jar directory.

Note:
I now use the rapid deployment method explained here (The super fast approach)
http://maximodev.blogspot.nl/2012/08/maximo-rapid-java-class-deploy-websphere.html


I restart the MXServer.

Then, instead of pointing the asset object to custom.app.asset.AssetCust I point it to custom.app.asset.AssetCustSet

I do a database configuration and go to the Asset application. Now the applciation shows up normally.
I change an asset and insert a new one.
Now I check the systemOut.log



The lines from the code show up in the log. So it works.
