Registering extended client state into the palette
To make sure the extended state could be chosen from the palette and dragged into flow canvas, alpha developer also needs to register it into the Eclipse extension point of palette. For that, you can follow the steps below.
1 Open the plugin.xml in your plug-in project, and then move to the tab ‘Extensions’. Click ‘add’ button to find and add the extension point whose name is ‘com.ibm.btt.tools.transaction.dominate.palette’.
2 Right click on the newly added extension and choose the option named ‘state’ from its context menu.
3 Focus on the newly added option and edit the detailed properties like the following screenshot. Especially for the attribute ‘config’, alpha developer should browse the workspace to choose the definition file that was previously defined. For the attribute ‘stateParser’, you can choose ‘PageStateParser’ for your extended Client State.
Now, the extended state can be used in Transaction Editor. The following screenshot shows the result view. For more detailed introduction, see Processor editor extension.
