Hello all,
To pick up from another thread - I'm creating a process variable with the same name as a task. I'm assigning this variable a map containing name value pairs for any task relating information I can think of. I'm working on creating custom nodes to accomplish this - but in the mean time can someone help me find a better way of doing what I'm doing now?
I'm my jdpl I declare a variable in the following fashion:
<variable name="Preparing For Your Oil Change" type="serializable">
<object class="com.xxxx.pma.entity.VariableEntity">
<property name="mapVariables">
<map>
<entry>
<key>
<string value="documentation"/>
</key>
<value>
<string value="http://oilchg.xxxx.com/oilchg-intro.html"/>
</value>
</entry>
</map>
</property>
</object>
</variable>
The class I call to populate this variable looks like this:
package com.xxxx.pma.entity;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class VariableEntity implements Serializable
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public Map<String, String> mapVariables = new HashMap<String, String>();
public Map<String, String> getMapVariables()
{
return mapVariables;
}
public void setMapVariables(Map<String, String> mapVariables)
{
this.mapVariables = mapVariables;
}
}
Is there any way to declare a Map without going through the extra step of calling a helper class? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shannon
