• Press CTRL+S to save the file.
  

Step 2: Add workflow rule definition to the database

Note: You only need to add new workflow rule definitions to the database when you create a new event-handler class. You can create additional event-handler methods in the same class later without adding workflow rule definitions to the database.

• Start the application server.
  
  
• Select System Administration --> Add-In Manager--> Workflow Rules task.
  
  
• Select AbSolutionsLogicAddIns application.
  
  
• Click on the Add New button in the Workfow Rules grid panel.
  
  
• Enter the following values in the Workflow Rule form:
  • Active? : Yes
  • Rule Name : MyTestService
  • Rule Class :com.archibus.app.solution.logiccookbook.MyTestService
    
    
    
• Click on the Save button.
  
  
• Restart the application server to load the new workflow rule definition.

Step 3: Create a view to call the new workflow rule

• Select the schema\ab-products\solutions\logic-cookbook folder in the Package Explorer window.
• Right click and select New --> File menu item:
  
  
  
• Type the view name (ab-my-test.axvw) and click on the Finish button:
  
  
  
• Eclipse will open the view file in the editor. Add the following text to the view file:
  
  
  

• Navigate to the test view: http://localhost:8080/archibus/schema/ab-products/solutions/logic-cookbook/ab-my-test.axvw .
• Click on the Test button. The service result will be displayed:
