org.jbpm.wire.descriptor
Class MapDescriptor

java.lang.Object
  org.jbpm.util.DefaultObservable
      org.jbpm.wire.descriptor.AbstractDescriptor
          org.jbpm.wire.descriptor.CollectionDescriptor
              org.jbpm.wire.descriptor.MapDescriptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Observable, Descriptor

Direct Known Subclasses:

PropertiesDescriptor

public class MapDescriptor
extends CollectionDescriptor

This Descriptor creates a Map.

If no specific implementation for the Map is specified, a HashMap will be used.

Entries can be added during the map initialization. The list of entries (key, value) to add must be specified with two operations:

1. setKeyDescriptors(List) sets the list of the keys to generate.
2. CollectionDescriptor.setValueDescriptors(List) sets the list of value associated with these keys.

The two lists must be in the same order (the n-th element of the key list will be associated with the n-th element of the value list).
