Implementation in Your Client Application

Java APIs

Your client application must send the message requests to the administrative URL of the dispatcher instances in the running SAP CC system. You must implement an AdminMessageSender.

Consider the following Java packages:

• com.highdeal.hci
• com.highdeal.hci.http and its method HttpMessageSenderFactory.createAdminMessageSender(java.lang.String)

Example

    HttpMessageSenderFactory factory = new HttpMessageSenderFactory();
    URL dispatcher = new URL("http://HOST:PORT/admin/");
    factory.init(dispatcher);
    MessageSender sender = factory.createAdminMessageSender(); // For admin operations that have to be executed on a dispatcher.
    // Or
    sender = factory.createAdminMessageSender("rater#1"); // For admin operations that have to be executed on a dedicated instance.
    // Take care that the admin operation is available on the targeted instance by using the static method AdminXMLMapping.getInstanceTypesByOperation(String opClassName)
    ...
    // Create a MessageEnvelope and add admin operation(s) in the message body.
    MessageEnvelope envelope;
    ...
    MessageEnvelope result = sender.send(envelope);
    ...
  

Recommendation

Most of the APIs in this Java package are implemented by the SAP CC Admin+ user interface.

To facilitate your development, you can view the messages exchanged between this user interface and the SAP CC system: use the debug command.

Communications

You use the HTTP Communication Interface (HCI) technical interface provided by SAP Convergent Charging.

Error and Exception Handling

Consider the exceptions depending on the service operations expected by your business requirements. Design and develop the appropriate exception handling.
