Java Global Instance

No

You can execute methods on shared Java objects created by Java Global Instance resources by specifying the resource in this field. For more information about the shared Java objects created by Java Global Instance resources, see Java Global Instance.

When a resource is specified in this field, the Library and the Class fields are automatically populated with the correct values from the Java Global Instance resource, and the fields on the Advanced tab become unavailable. You can select the method to execute in the drop down list in the Method field.

Note: If the configuration of the Java Global Instance resource changes, you must select and view any Java Method activities in your process definitions that reference the Java Global Instance to automatically propagate the changes. An exception is raised if you attempt to test your process definitions before refreshing the reference to the Java Global Instance. You may need to manually update the mappings of any input or output if you select a new method with a different signature in the Java Global Instance resource.
