1 Adapter Development Prerequisites

You have read SAP Cloud Platform Integration Developers' guide and Operations guide so that you have a
better understanding of integration flows and connectivity options of SAP Cloud Platform Integration. To
extend the connectivity options of SAP Cloud Platform Integration, you can develop new adapter tailored along
specific requirements.

You can contribute an Apache Camel component as SAP Cloud Platform Integration adapter. To integrate
camel component into SAP Cloud Platform Integration framework, you should specify the detailed set of
adapter attributes as component metadata. Component metadata defines the adapter attributes,
dependencies between them and the structure of configuration interface for a specific adapter, which is used
for user interface generation.

Following are the guidelines that you need to understand and follow while developing camel component:

Camel Component Scheme - Make sure that you use a unique camel component scheme to avoid
runtime collisions with other registered schemes.For example, the camel component scheme can be sap-
dropbox.
Secure Programming - Secure parameters must be stored in runtime secure store and accessed through
alias configured in adapter.
Security Aspects -
Always scan for virus in the Adapter workspace / project before deployment.
The Adapter design time content bundle should not contain any confidential information (For
example: hard-coded secrets, passwords, users or documents).
Perform fortify and java static code checks.
Logging - Use Slf4j logging
API Consumption
To access platform specific features, you can use public APIs which are available with the Adapter
Development Kit (ADK). Public APIs for the ADK are available in SAP Cloud Platform Integration tools
page.
JavaDoc containing public API can be found at: https://uacp.hana.ondemand.com/http.svc/rc/
PRODUCTION/saphci_javadoc_adk/1/en-EN/index.html.
To consume the APIs you need to use the code snippet ITAiFactory.getApi(apiType,
context); wherein, apiType is the class of the requested API interface. The camel context can be null
if it is not required for a particular API. For Example: For accessing KeystoreService, use
ITApiFactory.getApi(KeystoreService.class, context)

Note
The Java standard libraries of Java 7 can be used.

Cloud Integration supports the XML Document Object Model (DOM) to process XML documents.

Manifest.MF + Whitelisting - Only ADK APIs, Camel core and Logging are accesible at runtime. However,
if required you can import packages for dependent libraries bundled alongwith project.
You can use the following code snippet, if you want to read a resource in integration flow project at
runtime.

2 Adapter Development Process

You develop new SAP Cloud Platform Integration adapters to extend the connectivity of SAP Cloud Platform
Integration with remote systems.

SAP Cloud Platform Integration provides a set of adapters to meet standard connectivity needs. For example,
the SOAP adapter allows you to exchange SOAP messages through SAP Cloud Platform Integration, or the
SFTP adapter supports the exchange of files with SFTP servers. These adapters can be configured in
integration flow to enable connectivity between sender and reciever systems.

2.1 Create OSGi Bundle

OSGi bundles are normal jar components with extra manifest headers, which you use to develop adapters.

Prerequisites

You have the required jar file.

You have setup the eclipse with plug-in development enabled.

Context

To integrate camel component into SAP Cloud Platform Integration framework, camel component and its
dependencies should be OSGi bundle. To convert the jar file to OSGi bundle execute the following steps:

Procedure

1. In Eclipse, go to File New Project .

2. In the New Project wizard, search for Plug-in Development and select Plug-in from Existing JAR Archives.
3. Choose Next.
4. If you have the JAR in the current workspace, then choose Add and select the JAR file from the JAR
selection dialog.
5. If you do not have the JAR in your current workspace, then choose Add External and select the required
JAR file from your local system.
6. Choose Next.

7. In the Plug-in Project Propertiesdialog, specify a name in the Project name field.
8. In the Execution Environment drop down list box, select any java version that is less than or equal to
JavaSE-1.7.
9. In the Target Platform, select an OSGi framework option.
10. Choose Finish.
11. Select the MANIFEST.MF file of your project, and go to Runtime tab.
12. Choose Add.
13. Select the required export packages.
14. Choose OK and save the MANIFEST.MF file.
15. Right Click on the project and choose Export.
16. In the Export wizard search for plug-in Development and choose Deployable plug-ins and fragments.
17. Choose Next.
18. Choose Browse and select the directory where you want the plug-in to be generated.
19. Choose Finish.

Results

In the directory, you can see the plug-ins folder with the OSGi bundle of jar file.

2.2 Component Metadata

Component metadata defines the attributes of the sender and receiver adapters that contain multiple tabs.
Each tab can contain multiple attributes. You can group the attributes into multiple attribute groups within the
tabs. You can use the same attribute across the sender and receiver adapters by using attribute reference.

Component Metadata

This set of metadata allows you to define components details.

Currently, the tool supports only 1.0.0 version, which is also the default value.

e. Choose Finish .
4. Develop camel component.

Note
createProducer() or createConsumer() method, will throw UnsupportedOperationException,
RuntimeCamelException, OperationNotSupportedException exceptions. You can prevent the generation
of producer or consumer components by throwing UnsupportedOperationException exception.

5. Add one (mandatory) camel component .jar file in component folder and other additional (optional)
dependent .jar files in libs folder.

Note
You must add only those jar files that are valid OSGi bundles. Component jar is a camel based
component bundle. Dependent jars are the osgi bundles that are required by camel component.

6. Right click on the new adapter project or the component folder and select Generate Metadata
Component Metadata to generate a sample component metadata.

Note
Generate component metadata works only if annotations are marked in the camel bundle on endpoint
class variables.

Annotations:

@Required : used to make the field mandatory and belongs to the package
org.apache.camel.spi.Required

Example: @UriParam

@Required

private String testField;

Attribute behavior is set as SecureAlias if the variable name has password, key, secret or token
keywords.

Follow the substeps to introduce custom classes using blueprint metadata that allows you to extend the
runtime capabilities of the component.

1. Right click on the new adapter project or the component folder and select Generate Metadata
Blueprint Metadata to generate a sample blueprint metadata.
2. Update the <ReferencedComponents> tag in metadata.xml to provide a reference to
bpMetadata.xml.

Note
The value provided here is variant specific, for multiple variants fetch appropriate URL and update the
metadata.xml in the matching variant. For example, a variant can be either Receiver or Sender.

7. Adapt the component metadata file according to the requirements of the new adapter type.
8. If you want to verify if the adapter project has valid contents such as component metadata in metadata
folder and jar files in the libs and component folder, right click on the project and choose Execute Checks.
9. If you want to build your project locally, right click on the project and choose Build Adapter Project.

Note
Once you build locally, the system creates target.build directory, where you can find a new adapter
runtime archive.

10. To configure the Operations Server to connect your local Eclipse tooling to the tenant, execute the
following sub-steps:

a. Select Window Preferences SAP Cloud Platform Integration Operations Server .

b. Enter the server URL.
c. Enter your SCN user and password.
11. Deploy the adapter project.

Note
IFL worker node does not support ADK.

12. Check the status of your deployed project by executing the following sub-steps:
a. In Node Explorer, choose worker node.

Note
You can construct an application URL in the following format https://<IFLMAP URL>/<web
context path>/ to call the servlet.

b. Select the Component Status View tab and check the status of the adapter project.

Note
If you do not delete an adapter but some other user deletes the adapter and still the metadata
is available in integration flow, then you must restart the system.
You must undeploy the integration flows using the relevant adapter before undeploying
adapter.

3 Deploying a Secure Parameter Artifact

Use the secure parameter artifact to deploy confidential data for custom adapters.

Prerequisites

In the Node Explorer you have selected a tenant, in the context menu you have selected Deploy Artifacts, and
you have specified Secure Parameter as the artifact type.

Context

You can store secure data like passwords in a secure store and use an alias name to access this data in an
integration flow. The secure parameter artifact contains this alias name and confidential data.

You can deploy the artifact on the tenant by following the procedure below.

Procedure

1. Specify the attributes on the wizard page.

Option Description

Name Provide a name for the artifact.

The artifact name is used as an alias for the confidential data assigned by this parameter.

Description Provide a more detailed description of the artifact.

Secure Parameter Enter the confidential value of the attribute.

Repeat Secure Parameter Repeat the confidential value of the attribute.

2. Choose Finish.

Note
If correct alias is configured in the integration flow, then the runtime framework passes the secured
artifact value to the component at runtime from the secure store.
