Java Temenos Connector Server

Plugins description
tcplistener.jar
What is as Plugin?

Since version 1.3.1 of the Temenos Connector Server - TCS -, All Listener, Adapter and
Formatters are packaged as plug- ins. This means that there are individual components,
easy to install or remove, having there own settings and purposes. Each plug- in can have
a different version of the core TCS. This philosophy makes maintenance easier. You can
write your own plug- in. For that, please refer to the Guide for writing a plugin.pdf file.

Recall that :
- AListener is supposed to receive messages from the external world (eg: TCP,
SSL, MQSeries, Files, .)
- An Adapter will, in opposite to a listener, process the message received.
- A Formatter will modify the request or the response. Formatters are attached to
adapters the same way adapters are attached to Listener (See picture)

How to install it?

A plug- in is - usually - just a java Archive (*.jar). However, this is possible that multiple
jars are necessary for the plug- in to work. In any cases, all files needs to be just copied in
the /ext directory.
Each plug- in can have a different configuration. Depending the plug- in type (Listener,
Adapter or Formatter), this configuration will be in different XML blocks (See main
documentation).
