Problem:
In SAP CPI, there is a need to reuse a Groovy class, across multiple iFlows. The central issue is how to efficiently integrate this class into multiple scripts within different iFlows.
Proposed Solution and Limitations:
One approach would be to import a JAR file containing the necessary Groovy class into each script collection. However, this solution presents a significant limitation:
- Loss of Class Reference in iFlows: When referencing the class in an iFlow, the reference to the class is lost, I imported a JAR file to a Script collection, and when I tried to use this script collection, referencing in a iFlow, you lose the class. This means that the class does not remain accessible or usable consistently across the iFlows.
- Need for Individual Importation: The only option to solve this issue, the JAR file must be imported into each iFlow individually. This solution ensures that the class is available, but increases manual effort as it is necessary to import the JAR in each iFlow where the class is required.
- Maintenance of JAR Accessibility: The JAR file must be stored in a location accessible to all users who need to import it into their iFlows. This requires careful management of the JAR file to ensure it is always up-to-date and available.
Conclusion:
Although it is technically possible to import a JAR file into script collections in SAP CPI, the solution presents practical limitations, especially in terms of efficiency and management. The need to individually import the JAR into each iFlow can be a tedious and error-prone process, highlighting the need for a more integrated and automated solution for sharing common code across iFlows in SAP CPI.
I didn't find any solution, could you give me some thoughts about this ?
