doAction

void doAction(StringMap aKeys,
              ClipboardPage aNewStepPage,
              ParameterPage aNewParam)

Executes the identified (typically custom) rule which uses the activity access interface by implementing com.pega.pegarules.pub.runtime.Activity.

Parameters:

aKeys - specifies the desired Rule- reference. A value must be specified for pxObjClass, which determines the other values that are used. If the named class is subject to class inheritance, a value specified for pyClassName must be consistent with the class of the Step Page, or pyClassName will be defaulted to the class of the Step Page.
aKeys is a StringMap which is implemented by HashStringMap and ClipboardPage.

aNewStepPage - new Step Page, or null to retain current one

aNewParam - new ParameterPage, or null to retain current one

doActivity

void doActivity(StringMap aKeys,
                ClipboardPage aNewPrimaryPage,
                ParameterPage aNewParam)

Executes the identified processing, which is typically defined by class Rule-Obj-Activity. This method resets the current Primary Page, so is intended only for use with Rule-Obj-Activity, and certain other classes that require this unusual behavior. Most generated Java classes that implement the Activity interface should be invoked using the doAction(com.pega.pegarules.pub.util.StringMap, com.pega.pegarules.pub.clipboard.ClipboardPage, com.pega.pegarules.pub.runtime.ParameterPage) method.

Parameters:

aKeys - specifies the desired Rule- reference. Recognized values are:

• pxObjClass - (optional) name of defining class; defaults to Rule-Obj-Activity. The actual value used determines what other values might be significant.
• pyClassName - (optional) explicit class of definition that is subject to class inheritance. The actual class of the Primary Page used (which is the default) must be an instance of any specified pyClassName.
• - additional key properties will depend on the value of pxObjClass
. For the default case (Activity) one key property is required - pyActivityName, for other rules consult the rule class definition in Rule-Obj-Class.

aKeys is a StringMap which is implemented by HashStringMap and ClipboardPage.

aNewPrimaryPage - new Primary Page, or null to retain current one. NOTE: the current value of the Primary Page is used as the basis for evaluating circumstance, so care must be taken in determining when this value should be modified, hence when this method should be used.

aNewParam - new ParameterPage, or null to retain current one

Throws:

RuleGenerationException - An error that indicates there was a problem during generation of the activity.

getStream

java.lang.String getStream(StringMap aKeys,
                           ClipboardPage aNewPrimary)

Builds the stream identified by a set of keys. By default, the stream allows input.

The keys must be the key properties of a stream rule. (If the pxObjClass property is missing, then it is assumed to be Rule-Obj-HTML.)

In addition to the rule's key properties, the special pzInput property may be specified to indicate whether the stream should be displayed with input enabled. The value of this property may be set to StreamBuilder.sInputEnabled, which is the default, or StreamBuilder.sNoInput. If you need this property, consider using the getStream(StringMap, ClipboardPage, long) method instead.

Parameters:

aKeys - specifies the desired stream

aNewPrimary - new Primary Page, or null to retain current one

Returns:

the generated stream

getStream

java.lang.String getStream(StringMap aKeys,
                           ClipboardPage aNewPrimary,

Builds the stream identified by a set of keys. The stream will be displayed in the specified mode.

The keys must be the key properties of a stream rule. (If the pxObjClass property is missing, then it is assumed to be Rule-Obj-HTML.)

Parameters:

aKeys - specifies the desired stream

aNewPrimary - new Primary Page, or null to retain current one

aMode - mode in which the stream should be displayed. This must be one or more of the MODE_ constants specified in StreamBuilder, or'd together.

Returns:

the generated stream

evaluateWhen

boolean evaluateWhen(StringMap aKeys)

Evaluates the identified conditional.

Parameters:

aKeys - specifies the desired conditional. Recognized values are:

• pxObjClass - (optional) name of when-block definition class, which must be an instance of Rule-Obj-When (which is the default)
• pyClassName - (optional) explicit class of when-block definition. The actual class of the Primary Page used (which is the default) must be an instance of any specified pyClassName.
• pyBlockName - (required) name of the conditional
• - additional key properties are possible for alternate values of pxObjClass

Returns:

boolean result of the conditional

Throws:
