Class MailEventActivityHandler

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ActivityEventHandler, EventHandler

    @ConfigurationDescription(properties={@Property(name="IsCritical",type=BOOLEAN,defaultValue="true",description="Whether the event handler is critical and problems handling the event should abort all handling of the current event."),,,,})
    public class MailEventActivityHandler
    extends AbstractActivityEventHandler
    An event handler for mail events, that stores data from an occurred mail event as output parameter in the data context of the corresponding activity.
    This event handler considers a handled mail event as consumed since the corresponding activity has been terminated.

    This implementation is robust with respect to invalid parameter configurations and conversions, that is a parameter configuration referring to an unknown field of the mail or failing value conversions are just logged. The activity will be terminated normally but in case of a mandatory output parameter this will fail the activity.

      • canHandle

        protected boolean canHandle​(Event event,
                                    boolean consumed)
        Description copied from class: AbstractActivityEventHandler
        Gets whether the designated event can be handled by this (sub-)class. This should for instance check for the event type as well as whether consumed events can be handled.
        Specified by:
        canHandle in class AbstractActivityEventHandler
        Parameters:
        event - The event which is about to be handled.
        consumed - Whether the event has been consumed by a previous event handler.
        Returns:
        Whether the event has been consumed (that is changed) while handling it. If the event has been consumed before the current handing, it will have to remain consumed (implementations must return true).
      • processEvent

        protected boolean processEvent​(Event event,
                                       ActivityInstance activity,
                                       DataContext dataContext)
        Description copied from class: AbstractActivityEventHandler
        Processes the designated event for the designated activity instance. Usually this requires setting the output parameters in the designated data context appropriately based on the event.
        Specified by:
        processEvent in class AbstractActivityEventHandler
        Parameters:
        event - The event to be processed.
        activity - The activity for which to process event. This also provides the configuration of the activity and also the defined output parameters.
        dataContext - The data context to write the values of the output parameters to.
        Returns:
        Whether the event has been consumed (that is changed) while handling it. If the event has been consumed before the current handing, it will have to remain consumed (implementations must return true).
        Throws:
        ApplicationFailedException - If
        • one of the designated parameter has an inappropriate type with respect to the data context or its user-defined type is not valid for the corresponding field,
        • one of the designated parameter does not exist in the data context,
        • there are problems serialising fields of the message or retrieving content, or
        • there are problems retrieving the message content or its fields
        an ApplicationFailedException will be thrown.
      • handleField

        protected void handleField​(String field,
                                   Parameter param,
                                   MailEvent event,
                                   ActivityData data)
                            throws IOException,
                                   javax.mail.MessagingException
        Gets the designated field from the message of the designated mail event and stores the value for the output parameter in the designated data context. Some fields can be stored with different types, for instance the addresses of the message or its attachments. The type depends on the data type of the parameter.
        This method is fail-safe with respect to configuration problems, that is the designated field referring to an unknown field will just be logged. In consequence this may lead to undefined output parameter values which in turn will fail the activity if such a parameter is mandatory.
        Parameters:
        field - The field which to retrieve from the message.
        param - The output parameter for which to retrieve the value.
        event - The mail event that is currently being handled.
        data - The activity data in which to store the determined value of the output parameter.
        Throws:
        IOException - If there are problems serialising fields of the message or retrieving content, an IOException will be thrown.
        javax.mail.MessagingException - If there are problems retrieving the message content or its fields, a MessagingException will be thrown.
      • handleRegEx

        protected void handleRegEx​(String regex,
                                   Parameter param,
                                   MailEvent event,
                                   ActivityData data)
                            throws javax.mail.MessagingException,
                                   IOException
        Applies the designated regular expression to (the string representation of) the content of the message of the designated mail event and stores the match for the output parameter in the designated data context. The match of the regular expression is converted to the data type of the parameter.
        This method is fail-safe with respect to problems occurring when converting, that is these problems are logged but ignored. In consequence this may lead to undefined output parameter values which in turn will fail the activity if such a parameter is mandatory.
        Parameters:
        regex - The regular expression which to apply to (the string representation of) the message content.
        param - The output parameter for which to retrieve the value with the regular expression.
        event - The mail event that is currently being handled.
        data - The activity data in which to store the determined value of the output parameter.
        Throws:
        javax.mail.MessagingException - If there are problems retrieving the message content, a MessagingException will be thrown.
        IOException - If there are problems retrieving the body part content, an IOException will be thrown.
