Deployment

Option 1: Reference Scripts in an External JAR File

Step1: Add Maven Build target (pom.xml)

Ensure that the following maven build configuration is in your pom.xml file.

  <packaging>jar</packaging>

  <build>
    <defaultGoal>package</defaultGoal>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.8.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <compilerId>groovy-eclipse-compiler</compilerId>
        </configuration>
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
            <artifactId>groovy-eclipse-compiler</artifactId>
            <version>2.9.2-01</version>
          </dependency>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
            <artifactId>groovy-eclipse-batch</artifactId>
            <version>2.4.20-01</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

You can then run the maven package command (mvn package) from the command line, or use your IDE to run the build and generate an external JAR file:

Step 2: Configure Flex Scripting Action

The following steps outline the configuration for Dalet Flex to execute custom scripts in an external JAR file:

  1. Upload a JAR file containing the above class, to a shared storage accessible by the Dalet Flex Job nodes (HTTP(S) also supported)
  2. Create a new action
    • Action Type: Script
    • Plugin: External Script Action
  3. Configure the action to point to the JAR file and PluginCommand subclass.
  4. Set the Flex system property to automatically reload JAR file changes:

Option 2: Copy and Paste Scripts to Flex Action

  1. Create a new action.
    • Action Type: Script.
    • Plugin: Groovy Script Action.
  2. Copy the def execute() method into the script action:
