Dragging a resource from the Resource Navigator

This topic describes how to add a node by dragging a resource from the Resource Navigator onto the canvas or onto an existing node. The following resources are supported:
  • An XSL file
  • A Java file
  • An ESQL file
  • A subflow
Before you start:
  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. Open the message flow with which you want to work.
  3. Drag one of the supported resources from the Resource Navigator onto the canvas.
    • If you drop the resource on an empty canvas, a node is created and configured automatically.
    • If you drop the resource onto an existing node, the node is configured with the relevant property. For example, if you drop a Java file onto a JavaCompute node, the Java Class property is set to the class name of the Java file that you are dropping. If you drop an ESQL file over any node that uses ESQL, such as the database nodes, the ESQL Module property is set.
    The following table shows the results when you drag a resource from the Resource Navigator onto an empty canvas:
    Resource Node created Property set
    XSL file An XMLTransformation node is created Stylesheet
    Java file A JavaCompute node is created Java Class
    ESQL file A Compute node is created ESQL Module
