All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

GroupAction

public class Action
extends Object
implements Cloneable, Serializable

Class that represents Action on a UWL item. An Action object instance is basically metadata and not meant to be modifed by the caller. Special note on User decision Actions: (Following section is deprecated for User Decisions. Refer to GroupAction for more details. User decision page is triggered by the UI Action denoted by the constant USER_DECISION_ACTION_OBJECT User decision actions displayed on a page consist of

1. A caption for all user decision. This caption is taken from any one of the Action's property with property denoted by as UserDecisionTitle or the constant value Action.USER_DECISION_TITLE for example property.put(Action.USER_DECISION_TITLE,"Select One of the Options")
2. An Optional note/comment/text. If note is required one of the Actions should have a property UserDecisionNote set as true or use the Constant value Action.USER_DECISION_NOTE for the property set as true. property.put(Action.USER_DECISION_NOTE,"true") When action is performed, a property UserDecisionNoteText holds the text value from the ui.
3. All user decision actions displayed as RadioButtons in one RadioButtonGroup

Dynamic properties of an Action.
Configuration of an Action in a configuration xml supports dynamic parameters. Convention for a variable is ${variable}. This variable can be item.'someAttribute' or context.someAttribute. Then reflection on the item is done to get that value. For example ${item.externalId} could be used to fill the external id. These variables cant be nested. Example on how to use dynamic properties of an Action:
<Action name="..." handler="...">
<Properties>
<Property name="workitemID" value="${item.externalId}"/>
</Properties>
</Action>
Brief information about different Action Handlers is present in ActionHandlers documentation
