Java¶

The business entity, Java is used to create and manage the Java JAR files.

You can create new Java JAR files based on the requirements and then map the same to the activities as required. The created Java is mapped to the Java activity in the process flow for adding any particular custom actions in the process flow based on the business requirement.

Viewing Java¶

The Java associated with each flow will appear within that flow.

1. Navigate to App Studio > Applications - open application name > Process Flow/Data Flow - process flow name > Open.

2. Click Java on the left side panel for viewing the java entities for the flow module.

   
   

Creating New Java¶

The java activity reads the java entity mapped to it and it executes the code in the classpath.

1. Navigate to App Studio > Applications - open application name > Process Flow/Data Flow - process flow name > Open > Java.
   The java entity list appears.

   
   

2. Click +Create New. The Info Actions panel appears as Create Java.

3. Enter the Basic details in the Create Java panel as explained below.

   Field	Description
