Introduction to Java Synchronization tutorial

This tutorial guides you through the basic steps for using Java synchronization logic. Using the CustDB sample as a SQL Anywhere consolidated database, you specify simple class methods for MobiLink table-level events. The process also involves running the MobiLink server (mlsrv11) with an option to set the path of compiled Java classes.

Required software
  • SQL Anywhere 11

  • Java Software Development Kit

Competencies and experience

You require:

  • familiarity with Java

  • basic knowledge of MobiLink event scripts

Goals

You gain competence and familiarity with:

  • using simple Java class methods for MobiLink table-level events

Key concepts

This section uses the following steps to implement basic Java-based synchronization using the MobiLink CustDB sample database:

  • compiling a source file with MobiLink server API references

  • specifying class methods for particular table-level events

  • running the MobiLink server (mlsrv11) with the -sl java option

  • testing synchronization with a sample Windows client application
