[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBPM-2753) Simplify map specification in jPDL for simple case

Simplify map specification in jPDL for simple case -------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-2753 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-2753 Project: jBPM Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: jBPM 4.2 Reporter: M M Fix For: jBPM 4.x Allow simpler specification of maps in the case where both the key and value are strings, by allowing key and value to be specified as attributes of the <entry> element, instead of as child elements. This will greatly reduce the verbosity of the XML for this common case. The following <custom class="com.company.CustomActivity" name="some_step"> <property name="inputs"> <map> <entry> <key> <string value="input_file_a" /> </key> <value><string value="some_filename" /></value> </entry> <entry> <key> <string value="another_input" /> </key> <value><string value="1234" /></value> </entry> </map> </property> <transition to="next_thing"/> </custom> would become simpler, as <custom class="com.company.CustomActivity" name="some_step"> <property name="inputs"> <map> <entry key="input_file_a" value="some_filename" /> <entry key="another_input" value="1234" /> </map> </property> <transition to="next_thing"/> </custom>
