Programmer’s Checklist Addenda for Groups

The items in this topic supplement the checklist items in Information for Developers.

All Programming Languages

The FTL server and its group service must be available to application processes. (For details, see TIBCO FTL Administration.)

C Programmer’s Checklist

C programs must include the header file tibgroup/group.h.

On UNIX platforms, add the linker flag -ltibroup.

On Windows platforms, link the corresponding C library file tibgroup.lib, and run using tibgroup.dll.

Java Programmer’s Checklist

Java programs must import the group package:

    import com.tibco.ftl.group.*;

The CLASSPATH must include the lib directory, which must contain the archive file tibftlgroup.jar.

.NET Programmer’s Checklist

To simplify coding, programs can include this statement:

    using TIBCO.FTL.GROUP;

The assembly TIBCO.FTL.GROUP.dll must be in the general assembly cache (GAC). If the .NET framework is properly installed, then installing TIBCO FTL registers the assembly with the GAC.
