- Scenario
I want to write an ADRBC using Java and create a Vendor form on top of it. So i decided to set up my ARS 7.1, Windows environment so that i can use the plugin. I though i would start of by looking at how it should look so i took the example provided with the installer namely ARDBCSample.
Got everything running and working 100% (according to my knowledge) but when i try to create a Vendor form I only see the C ARDBC Vendor forms (Flashboards and licensing). PLEASE ANYONE, I can't find anything anywhere, I must be missing something somewhere, like the port (9999) in ar.cfg or something silly like that

- Tech Detail

Java:
java version "1.6.0_04"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_04-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode, sharing)


ARS:
7.1.00 Patch 001 200711161033


Plugin Server:
AR System Plugin Server Version 7.1.00 Patch 001 200711161033


AR Monitor:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\java" -Xmx512m -classpath "C:\Program Files\AR System\ars\pluginsvr;C:\Program Files\AR System\ars\pluginsvr\arpluginsvr71.jar" com.bmc.arsys.pluginsvr.ARPluginServerMain -x ars -i "C:\Program Files\AR System\ars" -m

(And yes it starts up, tried this manually)


pluginsvr_config.xml:
<plugin>
<name>SAMPLE.ARDBC</name>
<type>ARDBC</type>

<pathelement type="location">C:/Program Files/AR System/ars/ARServer/api/javaplugins/samplePluginDependency.jar</pathelement>
</plugin>

(Yes the files exist and I can open/browse the jar, thus not corrupted)

Hello,
what do you see when you ask for the version?
Thats what I get and my plugin does work.
ARS 7.1.00 Build 200708221849
What I see is that you are using a client VM, I'm using the server VM.
