What is correct way to specify a Java class as a Preprocessor command in WFM?

Hi Folks,

 

My environment:
TeamSiteVersion: 7.4.1
OS: Solaris 10
Javac version: 1.6.0_71
TS Java version: 1.6.0_45

 

 

My Question:

This is a stupid question, but it's my first go with implementing Preprocessor commands via java.

 

I have done this:

 

1. Built a simple class (SimplePreprocessTest.java - see attached) in the 'mypackage' package
2. compiled it (on the TS server)
3. built a JAR
4. deployed that JAR to <IW-HOME>/local/config/lib/content_center/customer_src/lib
5. ran make_toolkit.ipl

All of these tasks were undertaken without error.

 

I can confirm that the JAR was deployed as follows:

 

jar -tf ./ApplicationContainer/server/default/wcmweb/toolkit/teamsite/customer_src/lib/SimplePreprocessTest.jar

META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
com/
com/interwoven/
com/interwoven/custom/
mypackage/
com/interwoven/custom/CustomCodeDemo.class
mypackage/SimplePreprocessTest.class

 

In my workflow model I added my class to the PreProcessor commands field as:

 

mypackage.SimplePreprocessTest

 

...and republished my model (see attached screenshot).

 

When I instantiate that model, I get this error:

 

com.interwoven.modeler.workflow.exceptions.OutOfProcessCommandException: 6100024Workflow Command [Pre/Post] did not return correct value. Correct the error.)

 

My Question:

I am thinking that I did not "call" the class in the correct way in WFM? Is this method correct: <package>.<class> ?

 

It obviously does not seem to use the same method as calling a URL external task. I cannot see any reference to this in the doco.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Per the WFM documentation:

 

For an in-process command, the syntax is as follows:
inprocess:<fully-qualified-classname>:[additional parameter]

For example:
inprocess:com.interwoven.processtest.CustomCodeDemo:role=author
