Windchill System Administrator's Guide

Customizing the Naming Service
The naming service uses the Windchill service delegate mechanism to allow the
user to specify the following for the new CAD document (EPMDocument) to be
created:
• A number for the EPMDocument
• A name for the EPMDocument
• Parameter values for the EPMDocument
The following steps explain how to customize the naming service:
1. Create a Java class that implements the interface
EPMDocumentNamingDelegate. The interface definition is as follows:
package com.ptc.prowt.proesvcs.namesvc;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public interface EPMDocumentNamingDelegate
{
/* This method is not yet supported. Provide a dummy
implementation */
public void validateDocumentIdentifiers(ArrayList
docIdentifier);
/* Implement the customized business logic for
naming/numbering EPMDocument(s) in this method */
public void validateDocumentIdentifier(DocIdentifier
docIdentifier);
}
The definition of the class DocIdentifier is as below:
package com.ptc.prowt.proesvcs.namesvc;
import java.util.HashMap;
public class DocIdentifier
{
{
private String m_modelName;
private String m_docName;
private String m_docNumber;
private HashMap m_parameters;
}
public DocIdentifier(String modelName, String docName,
String docNumber, HashMap params)
{
m_modelName = modelName;
m_docName= docName;
m_docNumber= docNumber;
m_parameters= params;
}
/** get the CAD Name for the model **/
public String getModelName()
{
return m_modelName;
}
/** get the EPMDocument name for the model **/
