Hi,
Even if I'm using JavaEmbeddedActivity also i'm getting an error. Please have alook at the below code once
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class ConvertDateToStringExample {
public static void main(String args[]){
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-nn-yyyy hh:mm:ss");
//to convert Date to String, use format method of SimpleDateFormat class.
String strDate = dateFormat.format(getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/client:process/client:Date'));
System.out.println("Date converted to String: " + strDate);
Error Message:
Error(21,33): Failed to compile bpel generated classes.
failure to compile the generated BPEL classes for BPEL process "DateProcess" of composite "default/DateProcess!1.0"
The class path setting is incorrect.
Ensure that the class path is set correctly. If this happens on the server side, verify that the custom classes or jars which this BPEL process is depending on are deployed correctly. Also verify that the run time is using the same release/version.
Well it's not at all allowing me to insert the format while passing the input arguments.
