Back Forward Property-Set-Stream method

Methods and instructions by function

C-1628Use this method to save the contents of an HTML or XML stream, after stream processing completes, as the value of a Single Value property. The property value can then be mapped as output for transmission to an external system.

This method sets the results of stream processing on any stream rule, after all directives or JSP tags are processed, as the value of the property specified.

For example, if your application uses a Service Email rule (Rule-Service-Email rule type) to respond to an incoming email message, the response mapping can return an HTML-formatted email message containing clipboard values and HTML markup.

Parameters

This method has four parameters:

Parameter

Description

PropertyName

Enter a Single Value target property reference. Identify the property that to receive its value from stream processing. Typically, choose a property that has a Text type.

StreamClass

Identify the rule type of the stream, one of the following: removed JSP

  • Rule-Obj-Corr
  • Rule-Obj-HTML
  • Rule-Obj-XML
  • Rule-Corr-Fragment
  • Rule-HTML-Fragment
StreamName

Enter the Stream Name key part of an HTML rule (Rule-Obj-HTML rule type) to be processed to produce the value of the property.

StreamType

Optional. If the StreamClass is Rule-Obj-Corr or Rule-Obj-XML, enter the third key part of the rule instance to be processed.

Results

This method forms a key to a rule of the rule type specified in the StreamClass parameter from the value you supply in the third and fourth parameters plus the class of the step page or of the activity. It then uses rule resolution to find the rule.

If the step page does not exist, a new page is created, of the class identified in the Pages & Classes tab. SDAS/OLSOK 12/05/05 and SR-210 and B-15556 rejected

Next, it performs stream processing to interpret and evaluate the JSP tags or HTML directives (including property references) in this rule. It stores the resulting XML or HTML text as the value of the property identified in the first parameter.

If the Type of the expression doesn't match the Type of the destination, the value is converted following the same scheme as within expressions. See Data type conversions (casting) in expressions and property assignments.

Any property messages previously associated with the property are cleared. GAJNJ 11/2/05 The property value is validated against the property rule. ERNSG 2/6/06
