Introduction
Given a single string input (possible from an external system) with a delimiter of your choice, you are required to extract each individual string and perform additional processing on it. All the artifacts referenced in this article may be downloaded from here.
Model
In the model above, a manual activity accepts a string input from the user. This could possible be replaced by a POJO or Web Service/JMS which integrates with an external system and passes in the input to the process.Thereafter, the process invokes a POJO which is responsible for individual string extraction based on the delimiter of choice (" " in this example) and creating an SDT to hold the list of strings. The SDT data and size of the list are set as process data outputs by the POJO. Thereafter a decision split is encountered. A counter variable ("Counter") which is initialized to 0 is used to iterate through the SDT string list and extract each individual string for display. The user could choose to do additional processing as desired after the string is extracted. Finally, the counter is incremented before the loop completes and the the decision split is revisited. The POJO and SDT types are discussed next.
