getProcessContext

public java.util.Collection getProcessContext()
                                       throws WorkflowException

Returns the process context of the object. This is the complete set of relevant data used as the context of the object.

Returns:

Collection of RelevantDataItems representing the process context.

Throws:

WorkflowException - Thrown if an error was encountered trying to retrieve the context.

getProcessContext

public RelevantDataItem getProcessContext(java.lang.String dataId)
                                   throws WorkflowException

Returns the relevant data from the process context of the object with the given ID.

Returns:

RelevantDataItem with the matching ID, null if none found.

Throws:

WorkflowException - Thrown if an error was encountered trying to retrieve the context item.

setProcessContext

public void setProcessContext(java.util.Collection context)
                       throws WorkflowException

Changes the process context of the object. All relevant data with ID's that match those that are passed to this method will be changed to the given values.

Parameters:

context - Collection of RelevantDataItem to change.

Throws:

WorkflowException - Thrown if an error was encountered trying to change the context.

WorkflowException

setProcessContext

public void setProcessContext(RelevantDataItem contextItem)
                       throws WorkflowException

Changes the relevant data item within the process context of the object with the matching ID.

Parameters:

contextItem - RelevantDataItem to change.

Throws:

WorkflowException - Thrown if an error was encountered trying to change the context item.

WorkflowException

getActivities

public java.util.Collection getActivities()
                                   throws WorkflowException

Returns the activities that are part of this process.
