[ActivityName]EventSource
This class is used to add business logic for the process starter and signal-in activities.
Both the process starter and signal-in activities are event source activities and use the same EventSource<N> class.
The following sequence diagram illustrates how the methods in the [ActivityName]EventSource<N> class are invoked:
The [ActivityName]EventSource<N> class contains the following methods:
| Methods | Description |
|---|---|
| public synchronized void destroy() | Use this method to release or clean resources held by a source, when an event source is destroyed.
This is a BusinessWorks 6 life-cycle method. |
| public synchronized boolean isStarted() | Returns a boolean value indicating the status of an event source.
This is a BusinessWorks 6 life-cycle method. |
| public synchronized void start() | Use this method to start an event source. You cannot start a new event until this method is called.
Once this method is called, the event source uses the {@link EventSourceContext} interface to notify the BusinessWorks engine of a new event. You can use the {@link EventSource#getEventSourceContext()} method to get the {@link EventSource#getEventSourceContext()} object. This is a BusinessWorks 6 life-cycle method. |
|
protected <A> N evalOutput() |
Use this method to generate output when the business is completed. |
| protected N getOutputRootElement() |
Use this method to get the root element of the output. |
| public synchronized void stop() | Use this method to stop the event source from processing new events.
When this method is called, the event source cannot use the {@link EventSourceContext} interface to notify the BusinessWorks engine of a new event. Caution: Be careful when using this method to release or delete the resources that are used to start an event source. The
{@link EventSource#start()} method cannot be called after the
{@link Event source#stop()} method.
This is a BusinessWorks 6 life-cycle method. |
| public void init() | Use this method to perform any required initialization.
The <code>eventSourceKind</code> argument of this method indicates that the event source is being initialized by a process starter activity or a signal-in activity. Note: Do not use this method to start an event source. You can start the event source until the
{@link Event source#start()} method is called.
This is a BusinessWorks 6 life-cycle method. |
