How to Create and Update Output at Run Time

BusinessWorks Plug-in Development Kit provides a protected <A> N evalOutput(N inputData, ProcessingContext<N> processingcontext, Object data) method to create and update runtime output.

You can find this method in the ActivityName_ActivityTypeActivity.java file from the runtime bundle. If you have selected using XSD to create the activity output, then the XSD elements are created inside this method. 

protected <A> N evalOutput(N inputData, ProcessingContext<N> processingContext, Object data) throws Exception {

	SayHelloOutput sayHelloOutput = new SayHelloOutput();
	sayHelloOutput.setOutput("Hello World");
	N output = PaletteUtil.parseObjtoN(SayHelloOutput.class, sayHelloOutput, processingContext, activityContext.getActivityOutputType().getTargetNamespace(), "SayHelloOutput");
	// begin-custom-code
	// add your own business code here
	// end-custom-code
	return output;
}
