Broadway's Actor Editor
Broadway offers a number of built-in Actors addressing a wide range of predefined activities that may be added to Broadway flows. Examples for such activities are: reading a file and writing into a file, creating a table and populating it, parsing an object or concatenating a string, publishing messages to a queue or invoking a Web service.
If and when your implementation requires a business logic that is not supported by a built-in Actor and which is repeated across several flows, you can create an Actor using an Actor Editor by one of the following:
- Inheritance from the existing product Actors, or
- Building an Actor based on your Java class.
The Actor Editor allows you to:
- Create an Actor, and define its inputs and outputs.
- Set the inputs and outputs as final or hidden, if required.
- Set the default values of the inputs and outputs, if required.
- Run the Actor in order to debug it.
