Class SendObjectAsXML

java.lang.Object

atg.process.action.ActionImpl

atg.projects.b2bstore.soap.SendObjectAsXML

All Implemented Interfaces:

Action

public class SendObjectAsXML
extends ActionImpl

This action is used to send objects out via a SOAP RPC call. In order to do this, two thing must happen. First, a supplied Object parameter must be marshalled to XML. This marshalling is done by a configured ObjectMarshallerDispatcher service. After the object has been converted to an XML document, the document must be sent out via a SOAP request. This is done by a SimpleSOAPClient. To understand how these various methods are invoked, consult the #executeAction(ProcessExecutionContext)executeAction() method. This action requires a single parameter: marshalObject.

Method Detail

getMarshalService

public atg.xml.service.marshal.ObjectMarshallerDispatcher getMarshalService()

This service is used to marshal the supplied object parameter into an XML document. This property gets set from the passed in SendObjectAsXMLConfiguration object in the #initialize(Map)configure() method.

Returns:

the ObjectMarshallerDispatcher that will be used to marshal object.

setMarshalService

public void setMarshalService(atg.xml.service.marshal.ObjectMarshallerDispatcher pMarshalService)

Set the MarshalService property. This is the service used to marshal object to XML.

Parameters:

pMarshalService - the service marshal the object

getSimpleSOAPClient

public SimpleSOAPClient getSimpleSOAPClient()

This is the SOAP client that will be used to send the XML document out via a SOAP call. This property gets set from the passed in SendObjectAsXMLConfiguration object in the #initialize(Map)configure() method.

Returns:

the SimpleSOAPClient

setSimpleSOAPClient

public void setSimpleSOAPClient(SimpleSOAPClient pSimpleSOAPClient)

Set the SimpleSOAPClient property. This gets set in the configure method.

Parameters:

pSimpleSOAPClient - the simple SOAP client to use to send messages

configure

public void configure(java.lang.Object pConfiguration)
               throws ProcessException

Configures the action using the given configuration object, of type SendObjectAsXMLConfiguration. This sets up the following properties of this class, by copying them out of the configuration object:

• ObjectMarshallerDispatcher - The component that will determine the correct marshaller processor to serialize the marshalObject.
• SimpleSOAPClient - The component that send the XML representation of the object out via a SOAP request.

Specified by:

configure in interface Action

Overrides:

configure in class ActionImpl

Throws:

ProcessException - if the action could not be configured - for example, because some of the required properties are missing from the configuration

initialize

public void initialize(java.util.Map pParameters)
                throws ProcessException

The initialize method is used to initialize this Scenario action before first time use. It sets up several properties of this class:

• marshalObject - This parameter is required in order for the action to sucessfully run. The object is the object that will be serialized to XML before being sent out via a SOAP request.
• marshalKey - The key that will be used to indicate which marshaler to use when marshalling the marshalObject parameter. This key is handed to the ObjectMarshallerDispatcher class. This parameter is optional.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Action

Overrides:

initialize in class ActionImpl

Parameters:

pParameters - map of parameters that were handed to this scenario

Throws:

ProcessException - if an error occurs

Expression

executeAction

protected void executeAction(ProcessExecutionContext pContext)
                      throws ProcessException

This method peforms the work for the action. It will call several methods contained in this class to do the work. First, it will get the XML representation of the object. It will do this by obtaining the marshal object as well as the marshal key parameter and call the #getObjectAsXML(Object, Object)getObjectAsXML. Once it has the XML representation, it will create a SOAP parameter object by calling the createParameter method. Finally, it will send the XML document out via a SOAP request by calling the invoke method on the class.

Specified by:

executeAction in class ActionImpl

Parameters:

pContext - a ProcessExecutionContext value

Throws:

ProcessException - if an error occurs

getSOAPParameterName

protected java.lang.String getSOAPParameterName()

Return the value of SOAPConstants.SOAP_PARAMETER_NAME This defaults to xmlDocument

Returns:

the name to use to identify the xml document parameter

createParameter

protected atg.apache.soap.rpc.Parameter createParameter(org.w3c.dom.Element pObjectAsXML)

Create the Parameter that will be used to invoke the SOAP client. This Parameter is an instance of the atg.apache.soap.rpc.Parameter class. The name used for the parameter is obtained via the #getSOAPParameterNamegetSOAPParameterName method.

Parameters:

pObjectAsXML - the XML element that will be sent via the SOAP request.

Returns:

the Parameter object to invoke the SOAP client with.

getObjectAsXML

protected org.w3c.dom.Element getObjectAsXML(java.lang.Object pObjectToMarshal,
                                 java.lang.Object pKey)
                                      throws ProcessException

This method will obtain the XML representation of the supplied object. This is done by querying the configured ObjectMarshallerDispatcher to marshal the object. To see how the ObjectMarshallerDispatcher service gets configured, consult the initialize method.

Parameters:

pObjectToMarshal - the object that will be marshalled to XML

pKey - the key that will be passed to the ObjectMarshallerDispatcher service

Returns:

the XML representation of the object.

Throws:

ProcessException
