The standard mechanism to implement this is to wrap the functionality you - want to integrate in a class that implements the <emphasis> - <property moreinfo="none">ActionHandler</property> - </emphasis> interface. In order to demonstrate it let's specify Hello World action for our - process.</para> - - <section> - <title>Creating a Hello World Action</title> - - <para>Each Hello World process should integrate one or more Hello World actions, so this is - what we will be doing. We can integrate custom code at different points in the process - definition. To do this we have to specify an action handler, represented by an - implementation of the <emphasis> - <property moreinfo="none">ActionHandler</property> - </emphasis> interface, and attach this piece of code to a particular event. These events - are amongst others, going over a transition, leaving or entering nodes, after and before - signalling. </para> - - <para> To make things a little bit more concrete, let's create a new class called <emphasis> - <property moreinfo="none">HelloActionHandler</property>. - </emphasis> For that firstly we'll create a new package <emphasis> - <property moreinfo="none">com.jbay.action</property> - </emphasis> in the <emphasis> - <property moreinfo="none">src/java/main</property> - </emphasis> folder of our project.

So we implement another test.</para> - - <para>At first, let's return to the - code we already saw <link linkend="hello_test">in the previous chapter</link> and add new test method <emphasis> - <property moreinfo="none">testActionHendler</property></emphasis> to it. </para> - - <figure float="0"> - <title>Create the Hello Action Test</title> - - <mediaobject> - <imageobject> - <imagedata fileref="images/The_JBoss_jBPM_Int_Mech/jboss_jbpm_int_mech_3.png" scale="75"></imagedata> - </imageobject> - </mediaobject> - </figure> - - <para>We assert - that no variable called <emphasis> - <property moreinfo="none">greeting</property> - </emphasis> exist. Then we give the process a signal to move it to the auction state. We - want to associate the execution of the action with the event of going over the - transition from the start state to the auction state. So after the signal, the process - should be in the auction state as in the previous scenario. But moreover, the <emphasis> - <property moreinfo="none">greeting</property> - </emphasis> variable should exist and contain the string <emphasis>"Hello from - ActionHandler"</emphasis>. That's what we assert in the last lines of the test - method.</para> - - - - <para> Running the tests now results in a failure.
