FunctionTaskController

FunctionTaskController is an extension of AbstractTaskController. Extend it to create a controller that defines functions that are called when the user clicks a hyperlink. The functions execute code sequentially (including macro code); that is, operations are synchronous.

A FunctionTaskController must use the following items:

• import star.assistant.Task
• import star.assistant.ui.FunctionTaskController
• A function name matching a Star Action name in the associated XHTML file.

A FunctionTaskController often uses these items:

• @StarAssistantTask
• import star.assistant.annotation.StarAssistantTask

public class CreateBoundaryTaskController extends FunctionTaskController {

public void createBoundary() {
Region region = lookupObject(Region.class);
Boundary boundary = region.getBoundaryManager().createEmptyBoundary();
boundary.setBoundaryType(InletBoundary.class);
addToTaskLookup(boundary);
}
}
