Interface IUserProcessExtension

All Superinterfaces:

IProcessExtension

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractUserProcessExtension

public interface IUserProcessExtension
extends IProcessExtension

This interface must be implemented by user process extensions (e.g. Java classes that can be used in PI process elements).

If the program should be configured by the user, there must be a public static inner class called editor implementing the IProcessExtensionConfigurationEditorEx interface. The configuration editor must have a public constructor without arguments.

Implementors can use the abstract class AbstractUserProcessExtension

Method Details

perform

CompositeObject perform(IRequestId requestId,
 CompositeObject in,
 IIvyScriptContext context)
                 throws Exception

This method is the program performed in a process extension element every time a token comes to the process element (request). Note that more than one thread can call this method parallel if more than one request are running through the process extension element. Therefore the bean must be aware of multithreading.

Parameters:

requestId - the identifier of the request

in - the current process data. Modify this process data in your implementation

context - the context to use to perform the request

Returns:

the process data that are reinjected to the process. Most implementation simple return the in object

Throws:

Exception - if perform fails

API:

This public API is available in Java.
