Java Programmer’s Checklist

Use this checklist when developing programs that use the TIBCO FTL Java API.

When using the group facility, see also Programmer’s Checklist Addenda for Groups.

Environment

The CLASSPATH must include an archive file that contains the TIBCO FTL classes (tibftl.jar from the lib directory). Use the setup script in the samples directory to set environment variables.

Code

Java programs must import this package: 

    import com.tibco.ftl.*;

Compile

TIBCO FTL classes require Java 1.8 (or later) 64-bit.

The CLASSPATH must include an archive file that contains the TIBCO FTL classes (tibftl.jar from the lib directory).

Run

TIBCO FTL classes requires Java 1.8 (or later) 64-bit.

On Windows platforms, the PATH variable must include the bin directory to use the TIBCO FTL DLL files.

On Mac OS X platforms, the java.library.path property must include the lib directory to use the TIBCO FTL library files.

On other UNIX platforms, either the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable or the java.library.path variable must include the lib directory to use the TIBCO FTL library files.

Ensure that the realm server is running, and that each client process can connect to it.
