Interface JavaAction

All Superinterfaces:

Action, java.lang.Cloneable, RuntimeDataMap, java.io.Serializable

public interface JavaAction
extends Action

Creates a Java object from a class, then invokes a method on the newly created object. The class must implement the flux.ActionListener interface. When the job executes this action, the object returned by the listener is added to the flow context.

At a minimum, a listener must be set when initializing a Java action.

The Java Action returns its result in the flow context variable "RESULT". The following table contains more information on accessing and using the result.

Flow Context Variable	Java Type	Description
RESULT	java.lang.Object	The object returned from the actionFired() method of the listener that this Java Action invokes.
