Do not reference Mirth® Connect internal Java classes in your JavaScript code.
These classes are not intended to be used directly by your channels and could result in unexpected behavior. They are also subject to change, so upgrading to a new version of Mirth® Connect could immediately break your channels. Instead, make use of the user API. There is a link to browse the user API documentation in the left-hand navigation menu: Any methods/functions in the user API are intended to be used by channels and are guaranteed to be supported and available when you upgrade Mirth® Connect. Future versions of Mirth® Connect may deprecate certain functions, in which case a warning message will appear in your server log. Parent topic: Other Tips

Channel Configuration
Use tags to categorize your channels Place any reusable JavaScript code into Code Template functions and organize them into Code Template Libraries. Use Custom Meta Data Columns to increase the performance of searching the message history on a particular message field. Use Deploy/Start Dependencies if one channel depends on another to operate correctly. Use multiple resource folders for your Java libraries if you need to limit library usage to specific channels or if you have many Java libraries.

Using Java Classes
You can access any Java class in any JavaScript context: var map = new Packages.java.util.LinkedHashMap(); The "Packages." at the beginning may be omitted for common top-level package domains, like "com", "net", "org", and "java". To avoid having to type out the fully-qualified class name every time, you can import the package: importPackage(org.apache.commons.io);FileUtils.getUserDirectory(); For classes in custom or non-standard libraries, create a resource (see Resources Settings Tab) containing your .jar file. Then include it on the channel in the Library Resources dependencies tab. Parent topic: Using JavaScript in Mirth Connect
