SUMMARY

This article describes how custom element classes and libraries should be deployed so that the new elements are listed in the Elements pane of all Audium applications opened in Audium Builder for Studio.

SYMPTOMS

Developer has created a new custom element, and would like it to be available to all Audium applications through the Elements pane, rather than including it with a single Audium application or each application individually.

RESOLUTION

The custom classes and libraries need to be deployed to two places:

Deploying To Audium Studio

In order to add the new elements to the Elements pane, copy the classes and libraries to the Studio\eclipse\plugins\com.audium.studio.common folder. Note that classes should be copied to the classes folder, and libraries (JARs) should be copied to the lib folder. Close and restart Audium Studio to load the new elements.

Deploying To Audium Call Services

Since the custom elements are not stored within an Audium application's deploy folder, they will not be automatically deployed with the Audium application. This means that the classes and libraries for these custom elements need to be manually copied to Audium Call Services. Copy the classes and libraries to the AUDIUM_HOME\common folder. Note that classes should be copied to the classes folder, and libraries (JARs) should be copied to the lib folder. Once the files are copied, run the updateCommonClasses administrative script to load the new elements. For important information regarding the impact of running this script, please refer to Chapter 3 of the User Guide.

Please note that in Audium Studio 5, the structure of the "plugins" directory has changed. The directory that custom classes/JARs should be copied to is: com.audiumcorp.studio.library.common_5.0.0 However, the procedure described in this article is still applicable.
