Bonita Studio 6.3.3 - Export Connector - Package Names.

Q&A
1

Hi there,

I have two questions:

  1. What is the scope of Export Connector, and
  2. What is the best practice for giving a Connector a package Name?

I ask because when I did a first Import to a new BonStudio it worked fine, then when I imported another connector I got all these duplicates being mentioned during the import. This doesn’t look right.

So on opening the ZIP file I find the ZIP contains ALL the JAVA snippets from ALL connectors under the same package name.

So that’s why question one and two.

From my perspective I believe the following should be the case…

I’m naming all my coded Connectors as org.COMPANYNAME.connector, makes sense to group them all together…hence question 2.

When doing an export however ONLY the files that are relevant to the connector in question should be exported, not the whole directory, hence question 1.

I see this as a potential security exposure and should be rectified. Thoughts?

Oh yes, Deleting a Connector seems to leave behind the JAVA source file, another potential security exposure?

Thanks and regards
Seán

Hi,

I would recommend to give as package name somethign like: org.COMPANYNAME.connector.CONNECTORID

This package will group several classes and resources that are all related to the same connector.
