Custom Activity

[dondragon2]

I have a class that contains a Map of properties that are needed in order to perform some function.

I am extending ActivityBehaviour but I do not know how to defined this in the xml and also how to use these in the custom action.

I cannot create explicit instance variables because these properties should be dynamic, hence, the use of the Map.

Please let me know how to move forward with this.

<custom name="print dots" class="com.test.process.Prompt">

        <property name="properties">

            <object  class="java.util.HashMap">

                <map>

                    <entry>

                        <key>

                            <string value="testprop" />

                        </key>

                        <value>

                            <string value="test" />

                        </value>

                    </entry>

                </map>

            </object>

        </property>

        <transition to="end" />

    </custom>

public class Prompt implements ActivityBehaviour{

    HashMap properties = new HashMap();

    public void execute(ActivityExecution ae) throws Exception {

        System.out.println(properties.get("testprop")+"------>");

    }

    public HashMap getProperties() {

        return properties;

    }

    public void setProperties(HashMap properties) {

        this.properties = properties;

    }

}
