Plugins can now be written in Java and Delphi; new plugin APIs provided

Iguana 4.1 now provides the ability to write plugins in Java and Delphi as well as in C++, C# and VB.NET. For Iguana 4.1, the C++, C# and VB.NET library support has been updated and enhanced. For more information on writing a plugin in Iguana 4.1, see Working With Plugins.

Legacy database logging now supported for plugins

Iguana 4.1 enables you to specify that a plugin is expecting log information to be written to a database. This means that you can now use plugins that were written for versions of Iguana prior to version 4.0.

Fields are included with the To Plugin destination component to enable you to provide legacy database logging information:

For more information on these fields, see To Plugin.

64-bit plugin support provided for some environments

64-bit plugin support is now provided for the following language/platform combinations:

• C++ on Windows with Visual Studio 2008
• C++ on Linux, Unix or Mac OS X
• Java with Java 2 Platform 5 (1.5.0) and later on Windows, Linux, Unix or Mac OS X
• VB.NET and C# on Windows with Visual Studio 2005 and later

The message log ID can now be accessed from a plugin

The LogMessage object now provides access to the MessageLogId property. This property provides the reference ID associated with the message, which allows cross-referencing among related messages.

Depending on the language that you are using, this property can either be accessed directly or using the MessageLogId method. This property is provided to source plugins in the OnMessageRequestCompleted event, and to destination plugins in the OnMessageReceived and OnResubmissionPreviewMessageReceived events. It is also included as part of the new log access API.

For more details, see the documentation for the programming language that you are using:

• C++: IGClogMessage Class Reference
• C# or VB.NET: LogMessage.MessageLogId Property
• Java: iNTERFACEWARE Java Stubcode (click the LogMessage link in the left panel)
• Delphi: IIGClogMessage.MessageLogId Property
