Parameters

Predefined IN access points are created for to, from, cc, bcc and subject. You cannot create OUT access points. If IN data mappings are defined on predefined IN access points for meta-information, then at runtime available value overwrites the value defined in the UI. However, the OUT access point returnValue (String primitive) is created as soon as a response type is selected.

• Parameter Definition - To define input parameters, click the Add icon. The parameter gets added to parameter definition table.

Response

The http response type is supported which allows correlating back process data information via MailReceptionServlet. The http response type requires a server base URL. For example, http://myippruntime/mycontextroot. The http response type requires a Enumeration type (SDT of type Enumeration) where each element in the Enumeration becomes a link in the email (e.g. Approve, Rejected, etc). The E-Mail Overlay is implemented as asynchronous Camel application type if a response type is selected.

Test
