JBPM delegation with config-type=

[lucabur]

Even after reading the user guide chap. 13, I still can't figure out how to pass complex type parameters to a delegation class.
I would appreciate any example about passing a list, set, collection to a class like this:

public class MyAction implements ActionHandler {

 // the list values should be configured by the process definition file
 private java.util.List myList;

 ...
}

What exactly should I put in the body of the action to configure myList with, let say, "salt", "sugar" and "pepper" ?

...
<action class="org.test.MyAction">
 <myList>
 ????
 </myList>
</action>
...

and what if some list item is not a String, but for instance, an int ?

Thank you for any help.

This here results in the method setReadData( Map readData ) being called on SimpleAction. The values of the Map are ( 'AccessName''XXX', 'BundlingKey'BundlingKeyA' ).

I even use nested Maps this way. For the other types read the source code, its not that complex. Start out with org.jbpm.instantiation.FieldInstantiator.getValues().

<node name="SimpleAction">
 <action name="SimpleAction" class="com.SimpleAction" config-type="bean">
 <readData element-type="java.util.Map">
 <access>
 <property>
 <key>AccessName</key>
 <value>XXX</value>
 </property>
 <property>
 <key>BundlingKey</key>
 <value>BundlingKeyA</value>
 </property>
 </access>
 </readData>
...

Thank you very much.

I'm now looking at the source code ...
