If I develop a Smart Service plugin, I can pass in a javax.naming.Context object

guozhangy over 10 years ago

If I develop a Smart Service plugin, I can pass in a javax.naming.Context object using Constructor, the Context object can be used to lookup the data source connection.

But when I develop Function plugins, can I also pass the Context object in Constructor? It's not mentioned in the document. Do anyone have experience to access the database inside Function plugins? The reason is we want to create a Function to access a BLOB column (The BLOB column is not supported by CDT)

Thanks.

There's an example in this plug-in forum.appian.com/.../summary The source code is inside the JAR and it's called ExecuteQuery.java

I would be really cautious with this, not sure what you are going to do with the retrieved data but if you're going to create a document in Appian with it you better use the RDBMS Blob Utility plug-in forum.appian.com/.../summary
