Factory applications rely on Java for all their application logic. We can incorporate Java into your application in the following ways:

• Using the Method builder to create model-specific Java methods

• Using the Linked Java Object builder to expose the public methods of an existing Java class to your model

• Using the ${Java/...} indirect reference to set the value of a builder input to the value returned by the specified method

See the related topics for specific information about using Java when developing models with the Factory.

In addition, be sure to review Locating Your Java Files for information about how the Factory stores and updates Java source, class and JAR files.
