Class RulesEngineRouteModule

java.lang.Object

org.kuali.rice.kew.impl.support.krms.RulesEngineRouteModule

All Implemented Interfaces:

RouteModule

public class RulesEngineRouteModule
extends Object
implements RouteModule

An implementation of a RouteModule which executes the KRMS rules engine using the configured RulesEngineExecutor. It then interprets those results and processes them, which may include instantiating and delegating to another RouteModule. Currently, this implementation only supports PeopleFlow results returned from KRMS and passes those off to the PeopleFlowRouteModule.

Method Detail

findActionRequests

public List<ActionRequestValue> findActionRequests(RouteContext context)
                                            throws Exception

Description copied from interface: RouteModule

Generate action requests for the given RouteContext.

Specified by:

findActionRequests in interface RouteModule

Returns:

A List of the generated ActionRequestValue objects.

Throws:

Exception

resolveResponsibilityId

public ResponsibleParty resolveResponsibilityId(String responsibilityId)
                                         throws WorkflowException

Description copied from interface: RouteModule

The route module will re-resolve the given responsibilityId and return an object that contains the key to either a user, group, or role. The original responsibility associated with the given id will then be swapped with the new ResponsibleParty when routing is resolved.

This method is intended to allow for the calling code to be able to "switch-out" one responsibility for another (in the case of a change to an assigned reponsibility).

Returning null from this method will indicate that the original responsibile party should remain unchanged. This is typically the recommended default for implementation of this method and covers most use cases.

Specified by:

resolveResponsibilityId in interface RouteModule

Parameters:

responsibilityId - the id of the responsibility to be resolved

Returns:

the responsibility party with which to replace the original responsibility, or null if the responsibility should remain unchanged.

Throws:

WorkflowException

isMoreRequestsAvailable

public boolean isMoreRequestsAvailable(RouteContext context)

Description copied from interface: RouteModule

Returns true if this RouteModule has more requests available which it can generate. This method will only be called after the first set of action requests returned by the first invocation of findActionRequests have been fully activated. If this method returns true, findActionRequests will be invoked again and those requests will all be activated before the cycle continues until this method returns false;

Specified by:

isMoreRequestsAvailable in interface RouteModule

Parameters:

context - the route context

Returns:

true if this route module has more requests it can generate, false otherwise
