### ResultsToRulesInputTransform

    public ResultsToRulesInputTransform(Advisor advisor,
                                        Metadata metadata)

  Construct an instance of this object and bind it to its `Advisor` and `Metadata` instances.

  Parameters
    `advisor` - the `Advisor` for this transform.
    `metadata` - the `Metadata` for this transform.

Method Detail

### initialize

    public boolean initialize(Map parameters,
                              Object parameterDocument)
                       throws AdvisorException

  Initialize this AdviceTransform from its configuration environment in the AdvisletRegistry XML file.

  Specified by:
    `initialize` in interface `AdvisletChainElement`
  Overrides:
    `initialize` in class `AbstractAdviceTransform`
  Parameters
    `parameters` - the `Map` containing the initialization parameters.
    `parameterDocument` - the XML Document `Object` containing the configuration environment for this AdviceTransform instance.
  Returns
    returns `true` if this operation is successful, otherwise returns `false`.
  Throws
    `AdvisorException` - If an error occurs during initialization process.

### transform

    public void transform(Advice input,
                          AdviceRequest output)
                   throws AdvisorException

  Maps objects in the Advice objects into objects in a subsequent AdviceRequest.

  If the Advice.getResult() call returns a List, each item in the List is appended to a List in the AdviceRequest keyed to the value RULES_INPUT_OBJECTS.

  In addition a single value from the configuration environment is added to to the AdviceRequest, using the key of "request-specific-key" (loaded from the XML configuration) and the value "request-specific-value"" (loaded from the XML configuration).

  Specified by:
    `transform` in interface `AdviceTransform`
  Overrides:
    `transform` in class `AbstractAdviceTransform`
  Parameters
    `input` - the `Advice` that was previously executed.
    `output` - the `AdviceRequest` to be populated.
  Throws
    `AdvisorException` - If an error occurs during the transformation process.
