Implementing custom transport

If you use a custom protocol, you must use a custom Sender to send out the content over that protocol. This section describes how to implement custom transport by creating a custom Sender.

Procedure

  1. Create a class that implements the com.tridion.transport.connection.TransportConnector Java interface. This interface allows for the configuration and management of a connection to a location on the Presentation Server side.
  2. Compile the class.
  3. Add the class to the Transport Service cd_transport_conf.xml configuration file, for example:
    <Senders>
    	<Sender Type="Type" Class="com.tridion.examples.TypeSender"/>
    </Senders>
  4. Create a Protocol Schema for the Sender—for more information, see Creating a Protocol Schema.
  5. Use the Protocol Schema in a Publication Target to define the values.

Results

The custom Sender retrieves the values defined by the Protocol Schema using its configure() method.
