Overview of integration components

The Integration Guide is the main source for integration information. Other useful information can be found in the various API References and the Data Dictionary.

Java API reference

The Java API Reference includes the specification of the plugin definitions for Java plugin interfaces, entity types, typelist types, and other types available from Java.

The Reference contents are static. The script that regenerates the Java API (gwb genJavaApi) does not regenerate the Reference. Therefore, your own data model changes are not reflected in the Reference documentation. However, your changes to entity types, typecodes, and new properties are available from Java code in your Java IDE.

Web service API reference documentation

On a running PolicyCenter server, you can get up-to-date WSDL from published services.

For WS-I web services, there is no built-in Javadoc-style generation. The exact method signatures and syntax vary based on the language which the SOAP implementation that generates libraries from the WSDL.

Gosu API reference

The Gosu API Reference is a browser-based listing of Gosu classes, methods, and data. The Reference is particularly valuable for programmers implementing Gosu plugins.

The Gosu API Reference can be generated from the command line by using the gwb gosudoc tool.

Data Dictionary documentation

The PolicyCenter Data Dictionary provides documentation on classes that correspond to PolicyCenter data. You must generate the Data Dictionary before using it.

The PolicyCenter Data Dictionary typically has more information about data-related objects than the various API References have for the same class/entity. The Data Dictionary documents only classes corresponding to data defined in the data model. It does not document any API functions or utility classes.
