Plexus Connect – Editing Views in IJC

    Apart from the possibility of creating and modifying views in Plexus Connect by using its embedded form editor, Plexus Connect views and projects can also be handled in InstantJChem. The desktop based IJC can be run from Plexus Connect via JavaWebStart installer.

    If you would like to access a form view, grid view or project in IJC, after opening the particular view (project) in Plexus Connect, the JWS button images/download/attachments/1806102/JWS.png ('Open view in IJC') need to be clicked in the action bar. The JNLP installer will automatically be downloaded and the appearing pop-up dialog window will guide you through installation. As a result of the process, your view (project) will be opened in InstantJChem.

    For Administrator:

    • Administrators and form editors are authorized to run IJC from Plexus Connect using JWS.

    • The selected form (project) is automatically opened in IJC, so that the user can immediately perform the required changes.

    • ROLE_ADMIN is required by default. Access to the feature is provided to users with ADMIN role.

    • This can be overridden by specifying a comma-separated list of roles using the com.chemaxon.ijc.ws.resources.IjcJwsFiles.roles property. Important options

    On the server side:

    • Any database compatible with Instant JChem ( i.e. , Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL);

    • Web server: Jetty 8 or Tomcat 7.0. Please note that this requirement is optional because the application is bundled with Jetty;

    • Java 8 distributed by Oracle;

      On the client side:

    • The Java Web Start feature icon images/download/attachments/1806102/JWS.png can be found in the action bar.

    • Clicking on the icon launches the IJC JavaWebStart installer, then IJC opens and the selected view is automatically opened in IJC.

    {info} Please Note:

    The IJC schema descriptor which is required to open the view selected in PS Connect in IJC is currently accessed (by the IJC desktop) without authentication. This opens up a small security risk, because in theory anybody can download the schema descriptor and access the IJC schema, provided that they know the credentials of an IJC user who is allowed to access the schema in the schema securities descriptor. The risk is all the smaller that the schema descriptors so downloadable are dynamically generated through a service which does require authentication/authorization and is kept only until the download is complete.

    The license file distributed from the PS Connect server to be used by IJC desktops (with views opened from within PS Connect) can be accessed/used without authentication. This opens up the risk that persons unauthorized for the licensed use of the software (features) can make full (licensed) use of it (them) – eventually at the expense of authorized licensed users.
