Implementing adapter procedures

Implement a procedure in the adapter XML file, using an appropriate signature and any return value.

We have declared a procedure in the adapter XML file, using a <procedure> tag.

Implement the procedure in the adapter JavaScript file. The signature of the JavaScript function that implements the procedure has the following format:

function funcName (param1, param2, ...),

Where:

• funcName is the name of function which the procedure implements. This name must be the same as the value specified in the name attribute of the <procedure> element in the adapter XML file.

• param1 and param2 are the function parameters. The parameters can be scalars (strings, integers, and so on) or objects.

In the JavaScript code, we can use the MobileFirst server-side JavaScript API to access back-end applications, invoke other procedures, access user properties, and write log and debug lines.

We can return any value from your function, scalar or object.

• The Rhino container
  MPF uses Rhino as the engine for running the JavaScript script used to implement adapter procedures.
