Shared Code

Introduction

Shared Code allows developers to create reusable code that can be leveraged across multiple business objects. It provides a flexible way to centralize logic, extend system functionalities, and optimize development efficiency.

Shared Code can be used in various scenarios, including Java class creation, business logic extension, and SQL scripting.

Features

1. Java Class Creation

   • Develop custom Java classes to implement specific business logic.
   • Build reusable tools that can be accessed across different objects.

2. Extending Base Classes

   • Customize and extend system behavior by modifying classes that inherit from ObjectDB.
   • A specific case of Shared Code is PlatformHooks, which allows customization of authentication mechanisms.

3. Unit Testing

   • Implement unit tests to validate business logic and ensure code reliability.

4. Custom SQL Execution

   • Write and execute specific SQL queries for data retrieval and processing.
   • Execute SQL scripts for data processing or recovery.

5. Using Java Libraries

   • Import and integrate external Java libraries into the platform.
   • Extend the platform's capabilities by reusing third-party Java code.

Configuration

Field	Description
Name	Unique identifier for the Shared Code
Type	Defines whether the code is Java, SQL, or another supported type
Source code	Source code attached
Module	The module to which the Shared Code belongs
