handleActionAsyncRequest

IRuntimeContext handleActionAsyncRequest()

Executes an action sequence asynchronously. Note - this is currently not implemented in the BaseRequestHandler

Returns:

RuntimeContext created for the asynchronous execution.

getRuntime

IRuntimeContext getRuntime(String requestHandle)

Gets the runtime. Currently not called anywhere in the platform

Parameters:

requestHandle -

Returns:

the RuntimeContext for the execution

getMessages

List getMessages()

As the execution happens, the action handler is responsible for storing a list of all the messages that occur in the case of component failure. This method returns that list. The items in the list are presented to the user as execution feedback.

Returns:

list of messages

setCreateFeedbackParameterCallback

void setCreateFeedbackParameterCallback(ICreateFeedbackParameterCallback createFeedbackParameterCallback)

setForcePrompt

void setForcePrompt(boolean forcePrompt)

Sets whether to force the generation of a prompt page

Parameters:

forcePrompt -
