Java Code Deployment

TM includes a Java deployment interface that can be used by any Java application. The interface can be called with only a few lines of code; a simple process which involves the following fairly universal steps:

• A TMTransformer object is created.
• The TMTransformer object is informed of the sources and targets used by the transform.
• The TMTransformer object opens the sources and targets and connects itself to the generated code in a jar file.
• The transformation is run.

There are 2 fundamental ways that the transformation can be deployed:

Short Lived - Where the transform runs once and is then complete, similar to a batch job.

Long Lived - Where the transform runs and stay active, e.g. reading from a message queue.

An example of a basic short lived deployment can be seen below.
