Scripting Task Tutorial

Simple Event Handler

We need to define a function main, which accept two arguments:

• event
• incomeParameters

Empty Task Handler

* 1. print as warning event name and Task Income Parameters
* 2. accessing to income parameter by name
* @param event
* @param incomeParameters

incomeParameters usage

* 1. print as warning event name and Task Income Parameters
* 2. accessing to income parameter by name
* @param event
* @param incomeParameters
* 
* function main(event, incomeParameters)
* {
*  var message = " event: " + event.getClass().getSimpleName();
*
*  var entries = incomeParameters.entrySet().toArray();
*  for each (var obj in entries)
* {
*  message = message
*  + "\n"
*  + "key:" + obj.getKey() + "\n"
*  + "value:" + (obj.getValue().getValue() != null ? obj.getValue().getValue() : "null");
* }
* //suppose we have parameter under "ticket" name
* //lets retrieve it
*  var value = incomeParameters.getObjectValue("ticket");
*  message = message
* + "\n"
* + "ticket:" + value;
* //lets retrieve type of incomeParameters.getObjectValue("ticket")
*  var type = incomeParameters.getParameterTypeModel("ticket");
*  message = message
*  + "\n"
*  + "ticket:" + type.getName();
*
*  taskRuntime.addWarning(message);
* }
