Calling Server Hooks from script

The com.ibm.di.server.RS class (script variable "main") has a method for invoking Server Hooks:

/**
 * Invokes a server hook.
 * 
 * @param name The name of the hook (also the filename)
 * @param caller The object invoking the hook
 * @param userInfo Arbitrary information to the hook from the caller
 */	

public Object invokeServerHook(
	String name, 
	Object caller, 
	Object userInfo) throws Exception;

This call can return a Java Object (any type), so even though Security Directory Integrator ignores this during Server Hook execution, we can make use of returned values in your own scripted calls. In a script in an AssemblyLine you may do this:

main.invokeServerHook("MyCustomHook", this, "custom information");
