Converting existing function classes with Eclipse
If you have an existing function that is written for HCL OneTest™ API V4, you can use Eclipse to convert the function for use with V5 or later.
About this task
Note: It is unlikely
that functions compiled for v4 work with v5.
Procedure
-
Remove the
register()
method. - Change the visibility of the default constructor to be public. No other visibility (for example, protected) is allowed. Otherwise, an exception is generated when you try to execute the function.
- Remove the
super(String, String, int, int)
call in the default constructor.This super constructor does not exist anymore, so any calls to it produce an error. This call is replaced by the information that is contained in the extension definition. -
Remove the method
getSyntax()
. This information is now contained in the extension definition. - Create an extension to provide HCL OneTest™ API with details about your function (see Exposing the function).
