EAGroovyAction

This document was generated using Claude.ai

Overview

Executes custom Groovy scripts within the entity flow framework. Provides dynamic code execution for complex business logic without requiring Java compilation.

When This Action Runs

Manual execution or automated through entity flows when custom business logic is needed that standard entity flows cannot meet.

How It Works

1. Compiles Groovy script at runtime using GroovyClassLoader
2. Caches compiled classes for performance optimization
3. Executes script implementing EntityAction interface
4. Returns results and handles compilation/execution errors

Key Parameters

Parameter 1: Groovy Script (Required) - Complete Groovy code implementing EntityAction interface

Script Requirements:

• Must implement com.namasoft.infra.domainbase.entity.base.EntityAction
• Include doAction(), describe(), and columnNames() methods
• Access entity via object.getFieldValue("fieldName")
• Return Result object with success/error status

Database Tables Affected

• Target Entity - Can modify any fields based on script logic
• Related Entities - Can access and modify through entity relationships
• Scripts work through entity framework with validation and security enforcement

Important Warnings

⚠️ Security Risks

• Groovy scripts can execute arbitrary code - validate script sources carefully
• Scripts have full access to entity framework and Java libraries
• No built-in sandboxing - implement proper security controls

⚠️ Performance Impact

• First execution involves compilation overhead
• Compiled scripts consume memory - monitor usage
• Complex scripts may impact overall system performance

⚠️ Development Requirements

• Scripts require same quality standards as Java code
• Need thorough testing and proper error handling
• Debugging can be more challenging than standard Java
