Developing validation plug-ins for Unica Campaign
A plug-in is a Java™ class that is loaded at startup time and called whenever a campaign or offer is validated.
The validation occurs whenever a user saves a campaign. You can create your own Java™ plug-ins with the tools that are provided in the Validation PDK. The PDK contains source code for sample plug-ins and an Ant file (Apache Ant is a Java™ based build tool) that you use to compile plug-ins.
The following steps explain how to set up your environment to develop a plug-in and then walk you through the creation of your own plug-in.
