org.yawlfoundation.yawl.resourcing.codelets.AbstractCodelet

org.yawlfoundation.yawl.resourcing.codelets.RandomWait

public class RandomWait
extends AbstractCodelet

A simple codelet example demonstrating usage. Much of the work is done in the abstract ancestor, but of course those base classes do not need to be relied upon - all the work my be done in this class if desired. The Element passed back to the caller of the execute method must contain the results of the execution. It should be constructed as: paramValue paramValue ...... "root" can be called anything; each paramName must be the same as one of the triggering workitem's output parameters.

Method Detail

execute

public Element execute(Element inData,
                       java.util.List<YParameter> inParams,
                       java.util.List<YParameter> outParams)
                throws CodeletExecutionException

The implentation of the abstact class that does the work of this codelet. Note that calls to most of the base class methods may throw a CodeletExecutionException which should be passed back to the caller,

Specified by:

execute in class AbstractCodelet

Parameters:

inData - The calling workitem's data

inParams - the workitem's input parameters

outParams - the workitem's output parameters

Returns:

the result of the codelet's work as a JDOM Element

Throws:

CodeletExecutionException

cancel

public void cancel()

Description copied from class: AbstractCodelet

This method is called when the work item running this codelet is cancelled. Override to cancel the codelet as required.

Overrides:

cancel in class AbstractCodelet

getRequiredParams

public java.util.List<YParameter> getRequiredParams()

Description copied from class: AbstractCodelet

This method is called when an external entity (such as the YAWL editor) requests the list of parameters required by the codelet. Override to populate the list. Each parameter should include a name, data type and description as a minimum.

Overrides:

getRequiredParams in class AbstractCodelet

Returns:

the List of parameters required by the codelet.
