<parameters> and <parameter>
Syntax
<parameters>
<parameter name='MAXLEN' value='1024' />
<parameter name='MINLEN' value='1' />
</parameters>
Elements
Zero or more <parameter> elements may appear inside the <parameters> container. Each <parameter> element defines one parameter.
Each <parameter> element has two attributes, name and value, as described below.
Description
The optional <parameters> element is valid only within <property> or <xslt>. <parameters> defines the parameters for its containing BPL element as a set of name-value pairs:
-
Within <context>, <parameters> contains the data type parameters for a <property> that you are defining in the business process execution context. There is a detailed explanation of the business process execution context in documentation of the <assign> element.
-
Within <xslt>, <parameters> contains any XSLT name-value pairs that you wish to pass to the stylesheet that controls the XSLT transformation.
<parameters> does not support any BPL attributes. It is simply a container for zero or more <parameter> element, one for each parameter. You may provide as many <parameter> elements as you wish, but all must appear within the same <parameters> block. For example:
<context>
<property name='Test' type='%Integer' initialexpression='342' >
<parameters>
<parameter name='MAXVAL' value='1000' />
</parameters>
</property>
<property name='Another' type='%String' initialexpression='Yo' >
<parameters>
<parameter name='MAXLEN' value='2' />
<parameter name='MINLEN' value='1' />
</parameters>
</property>
</context><parameter> Attributes
Required. The name of this parameter:
-
Within <property>, name identifies a data type parameter for the property. For valid names, see Parameters.
-
Within <xslt>, name must be the name of a valid XSLT parameter.
Optional. The value to assign to the parameter.
