Property-Set-XML method |
Use this method to save the contents of an XML Stream rule after stream processing completes as the value of a Single Value property. The property value can then be mapped as output and conveyed to an external system.
The target property value is the XML text from an XML Stream rule (Rule-Obj-XML rule type), after stream processing. Stream processing evaluates directives and clipboard references.
This method has three parameters:
Parameter |
Description |
| PropertyName |
Identify a If the property is on the step page, precede the property name with a period. If this property is on a different page, include the page name in the reference and ensure that this page appears on the Pages & Classes tab of the Activity form. |
| XMLStream |
Enter the Stream Name key part of an XML Stream rule to process. |
| XMLType |
Enter the third key part of an XML Stream rule to process. |
This method forms a key to an XML Stream rule instance from the value you supply for the second and third parameters and the class of the step page or of the activity. It uses rule resolution to find the XML Stream rule.
If the step page does not exist, a new page is created, of the class identified in the Pages & Classes tab.
It then uses stream processing to interpret and evaluate the JSP tags or directives in this rule. It stores the resulting XML text as the value of the property referenced in the first parameter. The property value is validated against the property rule.
This method updates the pxMethodStatus property. See How to test method results using a transition.
