Action Processor Editor Editor Tab

Use the Editor tab for defining the parameters and generating the code for an action processor. In the Action Processor Properties area, you can define the values for an action processor entity.

Field	Use
Description	Specify a description for the Action Processor editor.
Vendor, Technology, and Software Load	Displays the vendor, technology, and software load for the action processor entity in the cartridge project.
Action	Specify or select an action for the action processor. Note: If an action is not in use by any action processor in any cartridge in the Design Studio workspace, enter the action in the Action list.
Type	Select any one of the following types from the list: Java Action Processor (with Code Generation) This type is the default value and recommended. Based on the selected action, this type generates a basic class and the skeleton of a method required for an action processor. Java Action Processor This type requires that you (or developers) map an existing class and method to the action processor. Unlike for Java Action Processor (with Code Generation), you must manually write the code for the class and method for the action processor. State Table This requires that you (or developers) map an existing state table and program to the action processor. Similar to the Java Action Processor type, you must manually write code for the state table and program.
Class and Method	For Java Action Processor (with Code Generation), the fields are blank and grayed out until a code is generated using New button. When the code is generated the class and method names mapped to the action processor are populated in these fields. For Java Action Processor, the fields display the default values for the class and method as myProcessor and execute respectively. The code for the default values does not exist. You must modify these values with existing class and method names and map them using Select.
State Table and Program	Displays the default values for the state table and program as S_MY_STATE_TABLE and doAction respectively. Note: The code for the default values does not exist. You must modify the default values with existing state table and program names and map them using Select.
Open	Click to see the code. This button is enabled only when the code is available.
New	Click to create the Java action processor implementation. Note: New is grayed out for Java Action Processor and State Table.
Select	Click to select Java implementation or state table implementation. Use this button to map the class and method for the Java Action Processor type and state table and program for the State Table type. Note: Select is grayed out for Java Action Processor (with Code Generation).
Command Overview, Output, and Development Notes	Specify documentation in the Command Overview area for the MML commands, output from the action processor (for example, return the following parameters as INFO or CSDL) in the Output area, and comments provided by the cartridge developer in the Development Notes area respectively.
