Using the public API provided within embedded java code (bpelx:java)

After seeing some questions around on out-of-the-box methods within a BPELX:EXEC activity I thought putting together a little note on methods I use most..

• checkpoint():void - force dehydration (and commit)


• getLocator():Locator - get the Locator to lookup other instances, processes


• getInstanceId():String - retrieve the ID of the instance running != conversationID


• getConversationId():String - get the conversation ID (GUID)


• getCompletionPersistMode():String - get the mode (faulted, on, off)


• getParentId():String - get the ID of the parent (can be null)


• getPreference(String key):String - get a preference from the suitcase (bpel.xml)


• getInstanceProperties():Map - returns the properties of this specif instances

and of course the probably most famous ones

• set/getVariableData :-)


• addAuditTrailEntry(String):void - add an entry to the Audit trail
