Information Systems:com.unipharm.uwd (Java integrations project)

Note: In hindsight, the name of this package kind of sucks. Plan to rename when this project matures a bit more. -norwizzle (talk)

Concerns to address

• How to instruct a non-developer or general outsider to run these programs manually, especially considering the huge classpath (which makes infeasible typing them all out java -c).
• Best practice with package-splitting.
• How to manage growing project dependencies (both Maven libs and jars from the Integrator environment).
• Need to implement a logging system (viewable in InfoNext) to track job history, as Integrator does not provide an elegant solution e.g. can view the log file in Integrator Admin but can't filter by job.
