Create Custom Java Classes and Spring Beans

Create Custom Java Classes and Spring Beans

Create an assembly project.
You can create 4 custom assembly elements from the
Palette
 in Workday Studio:
  • custom-mediation
     component
  • custom
     step
  • custom-out
     transport
  • custom-error-handler
A fifth custom element, custom routing strategy, is available from the
Route
 component's context toolbar.
  1. Open an assembly in the Assembly Editor.
  2. Add one of these custom elements to the assembly:
    • custom-mediation
       component
    • custom
       step
    • custom-out
       transport
    • custom-error-handler
  3. Configure the custom element's properties in its
    Properties
     view.
  4. Click
    Create Spring Bean Properties and Java Class
    , to the right of the
    Spring Bean
     field. The properties that Studio displays vary slightly depending on the custom element type. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Id
    Provide a unique Spring bean identifier.
    Scope
    • Select
      singleton
       to return the same bean instance with each reference.
    • Select
      prototype
       to return a different bean instance with each reference.
    Package
    Specify the Java package.
    Name
    Specify the class name.
    Input Type
    Select the input type to pass to the Java method. You don't need to specify implementation details for accessing the message part and converting it to the appropriate type. Workday inspects the method's first parameter and converts the message part to the same type.
    Output Type
    Select the method's output (return) type.
    Method Name
    Enter the name of the Java method that you want to define within the Java class. The default value is
    process
    .
    Include argument for dynamic endpoint
    Specifies whether to include an argument for a dynamic endpoint.
    Annotate Java class to appear in palette
    Select this check box to display the custom element on the
    Palette
    . This option adds an annotation to the generated Java class, which is located in the
    src
     folder of your assembly project folder.
    Tooltip
    Enter the text that displays as the custom element's description.
  5. Save the assembly.
Studio generates the Java class representing the custom element within the package specified. It also adds a reference to the new custom Spring bean at the bottom of the assembly.xml file.
Add the required code to your custom Java class.
