Building the validator
The Unica Campaign Validation PDK supplies an Ant script that can build all of the code in the sample files.
The default behavior for the script is to create a jar that contains the validation classes. Optionally, it can also create Javadoc™ and run tests against the validators to ensure that they work in Unica Campaign before trying to use the plug-in in production.
To build the validator:
- Change to the PDK directory <HCL_Unica_Home\Unica Campaign_Home>\devkits\validation\build
For example: C:\HCL\Unica\Campaign\devkits\validation\build
This directory contains the Ant script,
build.xml
. - Run the Ant jar at the command line.
- To create the plug-in without doing any unit tests, use the
ant jar
command. - To create the plug-in and also do unit testing, use the
ant run-test
command.
Ant runs the script and produces a JAR file called
validator.jar
in the lib subdirectory. For example:C:\HCL\Unica\Campaign\devkits\validation\build\lib
- To create the plug-in without doing any unit tests, use the
You now have a custom validator that can be used in Unica Campaign. Your next step is to configure Unica Campaign to use this validator.
