Hi, I need a pointer to some information around java code inside ODM rules. I am not a java developer, but I have access to one of the same.

I have a need to do some complex calculations that go beyond the simple Rule Tables or even BAL.

Currently I have a Java based calculator, and I am sure I can execute this custom code as part of a rule. Currently this is being executed as part of the higher level BAW process, which is not ideal.

Any pointers to how to include user code into a ruleflow would be much appreciated. A tutorial would be good.

Thanks

You can create virtual function in the BOM that are implemented with code written directly in the BOM. This is the BOM to XOM mapping.

See task 4 in the following tutorial for a practical example
