Custom Functions in BW Cannot be in Final Classes Comments Off

Or so it seems. According to TIBCO support, when validating Java custom functions in Designer one of the things it checks is the access_flags in the class file (to ensure that the method is accessible). Based on JVM class file spec the access flags should be either 0x21 (public) or 0x31 (public final); both of these values are fine but the validator rejects the latter. The good news however is that running the class in either the tester or in a deployed process engine works fine.

Update: I forgot to mention this, but the error message in the validator is “MISSING: Invalid java custom function..message”. Should help out searching via the Goog.
