SDK Overview

The Java CS SDK installer includes sample code that covers the following areas of development:

• Writing custom connectors
• Handling connection management to endpoint systems
• Handling associations between objects
• Writing new converter and validator plug-ins, and arranging to trigger core plug-ins using metadata
• Implementing or enhancing connector logic using JavaScript

Important: Connectors have their own methods, such as add() and modify(), which they inherit from the MetaConnector base class, the primary engine of Java CS connectors. Connector developers should rarely (if ever) override these methods. However, if you do override these methods, it is imperative that you invoke the matching super.*() method. For example, an overridden add() method must call super.add().
